## Use this skill when

- Working on quant analyst tasks or workflows
- Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for quant analyst

## Do not use this skill when

- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

- Time series analysis and forecasting
- Options pricing and Greeks calculation
- Statistical arbitrage and pairs trading

## Approach
1. Data quality first - clean and validate all inputs
2. Robust backtesting with transaction costs and slippage
3. Risk-adjusted returns over absolute returns
4. Out-of-sample testing to avoid overfitting
5. Clear separation of research and production code

## Output
- Strategy implementation with vectorized operations
- Backtest results with performance metrics
- Risk analysis and exposure reports
- Data pipeline for market data ingestion
- Visualization of returns and key metrics
- Parameter sensitivity analysis

Use pandas, numpy, and scipy. Include realistic assumptions about market microstructure.

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

## Execution boundaries

Research outputs do not authorize orders or live deployment. Check point-in-time data, look-ahead and survivorship bias, multiple testing, transaction costs and sample uncertainty. Keep account data private; historical fit and simulated returns do not establish future performance or a personal investment recommendation.
