factor-researcher
Systematic quantitative alpha-factor research: validate market data, mine a factor library, evaluate IC/ICIR, backtest a composite, benchmark, and report — powered by the FactorMiner engine
Plugin factor-researcher from marketplace factorminer in minihellboy/factorminer. Commands read from the repo's manifest — 26 days ago.
This plugin runs code on your machine — it starts local MCP servers. The exact commands are listed below; read them before installing.
What it installs
Skills (7)
factor-backtestCombine a factor library into a composite signal and quintile-backtest it under transaction costs — long-short return, monotonicity, turnover, and tearsheets. Use for the portfolio-level view that single-factor IC does not give. Triggers on "backtest", "composite signal", "combine factors", "long-sh
factor-benchmarkRun FactorMiner benchmark workflows — the Table 1 Top-K freeze benchmark, memory and strategy ablations, transaction-cost pressure tests, and the full suite. Use to compare FactorMiner against baselines or to reproduce paper results. Triggers on "benchmark", "ablation", "compare to baseline", "repro
factor-dataValidate, resample, and ingest market data for factor mining. Schema-checks OHLCV files (CSV/Parquet/HDF5), resamples bar frequencies, and pulls live data from external MCP connectors (FactSet, Daloopa, Morningstar). Use before any mining run. Triggers on "validate data", "check my dataset", "resamp
factor-evaluationEvaluate a factor library — recompute Information Coefficient (IC), ICIR, win rate, and turnover on held-out data, and surface train→test decay. Use to judge how good a mined library actually is out of sample. Triggers on "evaluate factors", "compute IC", "how good is this library", "factor metrics"
factor-miningDiscover alpha factors by running the FactorMiner research engine — the paper-faithful Ralph loop or the enhanced Helix loop (causal validation, regime conditioning, multi-specialist debate, canonicalization). Use to generate a new factor library from a validated dataset. Triggers on "mine factors",
factor-reportGenerate static reports, tearsheets, and exports from FactorMiner artifacts — markdown/HTML research notes, plots, and library exports (JSON/CSV/formulas). Use to package a finished research run for review. Triggers on "generate report", "factor report", "research note", "tearsheet", "visualize fact
research-ingestionAbsorb external research reports/papers into structured, retrievable hypothesis cues via FactorMiner's Report-to-Memory Absorption (RMA) service — an OHLCV-eligibility gate, a mechanism-family classifier, and research-path cues that feed factor generation prompts. Use to turn a report fragment into

Subagents (1)
factor-researcherRuns systematic quantitative alpha-factor research end to end — validates a market dataset, mines a factor library with the FactorMiner engine, evaluates it (IC/ICIR/correlation), backtests a composite signal under transaction costs, benchmarks it against baselines, and packages a research note.
