Edge Strategy Designer

Overview

Translate concept-level hypotheses into concrete strategy draft specs. This skill sits after concept synthesis and before pipeline export validation.

When to Use

You have
```
edge_concepts.yaml
```
and need strategy candidates.
You want multiple variants (core/conservative/research-probe) per concept.
You want optional exportable ticket files for interface v1 families.

Prerequisites

Python 3.9+
```
PyYAML
```
```
edge_concepts.yaml
```
produced by concept synthesis

Output

```
strategy_drafts/*.yaml
```
```
strategy_drafts/run_manifest.json
```

Optional

exportable_tickets/*.yaml

for downstream

export_candidate.py

Workflow

Load
```
edge_concepts.yaml
```
.
Choose risk profile (
```
conservative
```
,
```
balanced
```
,
```
aggressive
```
).
Generate per-concept variants with hypothesis-type exit calibration.
Apply
```
HYPOTHESIS_EXIT_OVERRIDES
```
to adjust stop-loss, reward-to-risk, time-stop, and trailing-stop per hypothesis type (breakout, earnings_drift, panic_reversal, etc.).
Clamp reward-to-risk at
```
RR_FLOOR=1.5
```
to prevent C5 review failures.
Export v1-ready ticket YAML when applicable.

Hand off exportable tickets to

skills/edge-candidate-agent/scripts/export_candidate.py

Quick Commands

Generate drafts only:

python3 skills/edge-strategy-designer/scripts/design_strategy_drafts.py \
  --concepts /tmp/edge-concepts/edge_concepts.yaml \
  --output-dir /tmp/strategy-drafts \
  --risk-profile balanced

Generate drafts + exportable tickets:

python3 skills/edge-strategy-designer/scripts/design_strategy_drafts.py \
  --concepts /tmp/edge-concepts/edge_concepts.yaml \
  --output-dir /tmp/strategy-drafts \
  --exportable-tickets-dir /tmp/exportable-tickets \
  --risk-profile conservative
