  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by VernonOY on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Alpha Evaluate AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/VernonOY/alpha-skills/tree/main/skills/alpha-evaluate
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/VernonOY/alpha-skills.git /tmp/alpha-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/alpha-skills/skills/alpha-evaluate .claude/skills/alpha-evaluate
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Alpha Evaluate in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Alpha Evaluate on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Alpha Evaluate is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

项目定位 / Project Context

项目目录在用户的当前工作目录,其中: Project directory is the user's current working directory, containing:

  • data_cache/ — 本地缓存的行情数据 Local cached market data(Parquet格式 format)
  • output/ — 报告输出目录 Report output directory
  • .claude/alpha-agent.config.md — 用户自定义评估参数 User-defined evaluation parameters

数据来源 / Data Source:技能支持任何数据源。优先检查用户配置中的 DATA_SOURCE 字段: The skill supports any data source. Check user config DATA_SOURCE field first:

  • tushare (默认 default) — 使用Tushare Pro API拉取A股数据 / Fetch A-share data via Tushare Pro API
  • csv — 从用户指定目录读取CSV/Parquet文件 / Read CSV/Parquet from user-specified directory
  • custom — 用户提供自定义数据加载函数 / User-provided custom data loader

如果用户已在项目中定义了自己的数据加载模块(如 my_data.py),优先使用用户的模块。 If the user has defined a custom data module (e.g., my_data.py), use it first. 检查方式:查看配置文件中是否有 DATA_MODULE 字段指定了自定义模块路径。 Check: look for DATA_MODULE field in config file for custom module path.

Multi-Market Support / 多市场支持:

Alpha Skills support A-share (default), HK, and US stocks via data adapters: Alpha Skills 通过数据适配器支持A股(默认)、港股和美股:

markdown
# .claude/alpha-agent.config.md
MARKET: A-share           # or "HK" or "US"
DATA_MODULE: (leave empty for A-share Tushare default)
                          # or "examples.us_data_yfinance"
                          # or "examples.hk_data_yfinance"

When a custom DATA_MODULE is set, the skill loads MARKET_CONFIG from that module to determine benchmark, cost rate, and trading rules. 设置自定义DATA_MODULE时,skill从该模块加载MARKET_CONFIG来确定基准、成本和交易规则。

Language Rule / 语言规则:

  • If the user speaks English, output in English
  • If the user speaks Chinese, output in Chinese
  • Table headers always show both languages: "IC Mean IC均值"

输入识别 / Input Recognition

用户可能以以下方式提供因子 / Users may provide factors in these ways:

  1. 内置因子名称 Built-in name: "评估reversal_5因子" / "evaluate reversal_5 factor"
  2. Python表达式 Python expression: "评估 -close.pct_change(5) 这个因子" / "evaluate -close.pct_change(5)"
  3. 自然语言描述 Natural language: "评估一个5日反转因子" / "evaluate a 5-day reversal factor" → 你理解后映射到内置因子或生成代码
  4. FEL表达式 FEL expression: "评估 ts_corr(close, volume, 20) * -1"(如项目已实现FEL解析器 if FEL parser is implemented)

执行流程 / Execution Pipeline

Step 0 (Optional): Static Code Check / 静态代码检查

If the factor is provided as a source file or a Python expression longer than one line, offer to run qtype as a pre-flight check to catch look-ahead bias and time-leak bugs. qtype is an independent tool — check if it is installed:

如果用户提供的是源文件或多行 Python 表达式,建议先跑一遍 qtype 预检查,捕捉前视偏差和时间泄漏bug。qtype 是独立工具,先检查是否已安装:

bash
which qtype || pip show qtype

If installed and the factor is a file: 如果已安装且因子是文件:

bash
qtype check <path_to_factor.py>

Rules / 规则:

  • QT001 look-ahead-bias: .shift(N) with negative literal
  • QT002 future-function: calls to lead, look_forward, peek_future, etc.
  • QT003 survival-bias: universe builder missing ST / suspended / delisted filters
  • QT004 alignment-error: .merge() without explicit join keys
  • QT005 return-offset: pct_change() assigned to forward_* / next_* / target

Behavior / 行为:

  • If qtype finds errors (QT001/QT002): stop evaluation and show the bug. Evaluating a factor with look-ahead bias produces fake alpha.

  • If qtype finds warnings (QT003/QT004/QT005): show them to the user and ask whether to proceed.

  • If qtype is not installed: skip this step silently. Do not block evaluation. Optionally mention qtype once: "Tip: install qtype to catch time-leak bugs automatically — pip install qtype."

  • If the factor is a built-in factor name (e.g., pv_diverge): skip this step entirely, built-ins are already verified.

  • 如果 qtype 发现错误(QT001/QT002):停止评估并展示bug。带前视偏差的因子会产出虚假 alpha。

  • 如果发现警告(QT003/QT004/QT005):展示给用户并询问是否继续。

  • 如果 qtype 未安装:静默跳过,不要阻塞流程。可以提一句建议:"提示:安装 qtype 可自动捕捉时间泄漏bug — pip install qtype。"

  • 如果因子是内置因子名(如 pv_diverge):跳过此步,内置因子已验证。

Step 1: 读取用户配置 / Read User Config

python
# 读取 .claude/alpha-agent.config.md 中的评估参数
# Read evaluation parameters from .claude/alpha-agent.config.md
# 如果文件不存在,使用默认值 / If file not found, use defaults

默认值 Defaults:

  • 持有期 Holding periods: [5, 10, 20]
  • IC快筛阈值 IC quick-filter threshold: 0.02
  • Strong ICIR: 0.5
  • Moderate ICIR: 0.3

Step 1.5: 确定市场 / Determine Market

从配置读取 MARKET 字段(默认 "A-share"): Read MARKET field from config (default "A-share"):

  • A-share (A股): 默认Tushare数据源,data_cache/ 目录
  • US (美股): DATA_MODULE=examples.us_data_yfinance
  • HK (港股): DATA_MODULE=examples.hk_data_yfinance
  • Custom: 用户自定义模块 / user custom module

如果配置了 DATA_MODULE,加载该模块并读取其 MARKET_CONFIG: If DATA_MODULE is configured, load module and read MARKET_CONFIG:

python
import importlib
if config.get("DATA_MODULE"):
    data_mod = importlib.import_module(config["DATA_MODULE"])
    market_config = data_mod.MARKET_CONFIG
    cost_rate = market_config["cost_rate"]
    benchmark_symbol = market_config["benchmark"]
    price_limit = market_config.get("price_limit")  # None表示无涨跌停

Step 2: 加载数据 / Load Data

首先检查用户是否有自定义数据加载方式(配置中 DATA_MODULE 或 DATA_SOURCE 字段)。 First check if user has a custom data loader (DATA_MODULE or DATA_SOURCE in config).

方式A: 用户自定义数据模块 / Method A: User Custom Data Module(优先 Priority)

如果配置了 DATA_MODULE: my_data,则 / If DATA_MODULE: my_data is configured:

python
import importlib
data_mod = importlib.import_module("my_data")
# 用户模块需提供以下函数(返回DataFrame):
# User module must provide these functions (returning DataFrame):
# data_mod.load_prices(start, end) → DataFrame with columns: ts_code, trade_date, open, high, low, close, vol, amount
# data_mod.load_adj_factor(start, end) → DataFrame with columns: ts_code, trade_date, adj_factor
# data_mod.load_daily_basic(start, end) → DataFrame with columns: ts_code, trade_date, pe_ttm, pb, turnover_rate_f, ...
# data_mod.load_financial(start, end) → DataFrame with columns: ts_code, ann_date, end_date, roe, roa, ...

方式B: CSV/Parquet本地文件 / Method B: Local CSV/Parquet Files

如果配置了 DATA_SOURCE: csv 和 DATA_DIR: /path/to/data,则从指定目录读取文件: If DATA_SOURCE: csv and DATA_DIR: /path/to/data are configured, read from specified directory:

python
DATA_DIR = config.get("DATA_DIR", "data")
daily_prices = pd.read_parquet(os.path.join(DATA_DIR, "daily_prices.parquet"))
# 或 / or pd.read_csv(os.path.join(DATA_DIR, "daily_prices.csv"))

方式C: Tushare缓存 / Method C: Tushare Cache(默认 Default)

python
import sys, os, glob, warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore")
PROJECT_DIR = "<用户当前工作目录的绝对路径 / absolute path to user's cwd>"
sys.path.insert(0, PROJECT_DIR)

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
CACHE_DIR = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, "data_cache")

def load_and_merge(prefix):
    files = sorted(glob.glob(os.path.join(CACHE_DIR, f"{prefix}_*.parquet")))
    frames = [pd.read_parquet(f) for f in files if os.path.getsize(f) > 100]
    return pd.concat(frames, ignore_index=True).drop_duplicates() if frames else pd.DataFrame()

daily_prices = load_and_merge("get_daily_prices")
adj_factor = load_and_merge("get_adj_factor")
daily_basic = load_and_merge("get_daily_basic")
fina = load_and_merge("get_financial_data")
stock_pool = load_and_merge("get_stock_pool")
index_data = load_and_merge("get_index_daily")

数据格式约定 / Data Format Convention(无论哪种方式,最终数据需符合 regardless of method):

  • daily_prices: 必须含 must contain ts_code, trade_date, open, high, low, close, vol, amount
  • adj_factor: 必须含 must contain ts_code, trade_date, adj_factor
  • trade_date 格式 format: YYYYMMDD 字符串或可解析日期 string or parseable date

Step 3: 数据预处理 / Data Preprocessing(前复权+过滤 Forward-adjust + Filter)

python
# 过滤股票池 / Filter stock pool
valid_codes = set(stock_pool["ts_code"].tolist()) if not stock_pool.empty else set(daily_prices["ts_code"].unique())
dp = daily_prices[daily_prices["ts_code"].isin(valid_codes)].copy()
dp["trade_date"] = pd.to_datetime(dp["trade_date"], format="%Y%m%d")

# Pivot成宽表 / Pivot to wide format
close_raw = dp.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="close").sort_index()
volume = dp.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="vol").fillna(0)
high_raw = dp.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="high")
low_raw = dp.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="low")

# 前复权 / Forward adjustment
if not adj_factor.empty:
    af = adj_factor[adj_factor["ts_code"].isin(valid_codes)].copy()
    af["trade_date"] = pd.to_datetime(af["trade_date"], format="%Y%m%d")
    adj_pivot = af.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="adj_factor").sort_index()
    common_dates = close_raw.index.intersection(adj_pivot.index)
    common_stocks = close_raw.columns.intersection(adj_pivot.columns)
    close_raw = close_raw.loc[common_dates, common_stocks]
    adj_pivot = adj_pivot.loc[common_dates, common_stocks]
    high_raw = high_raw.reindex(index=common_dates, columns=common_stocks)
    low_raw = low_raw.reindex(index=common_dates, columns=common_stocks)
    volume = volume.reindex(index=common_dates, columns=common_stocks)
    adj_ratio = adj_pivot / adj_pivot.iloc[-1]
    close = (close_raw * adj_ratio).ffill(limit=5)
    high = high_raw * adj_ratio
    low = low_raw * adj_ratio
else:
    close = close_raw.ffill(limit=5)
    high = high_raw
    low = low_raw

# 过滤稀疏股票 / Filter sparse stocks
min_count = int(len(close) * 0.4)
valid_stocks = close.columns[close.notna().sum() >= min_count]
close = close[valid_stocks]

Step 4: 计算因子 / Compute Factor

根据用户输入的因子类型调用对应函数 / Call corresponding function based on user input:

python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# ── 因子计算函数(自包含,无外部依赖)/ Factor functions (self-contained, no external deps) ──

def momentum(close, period=20):
    return close.pct_change(period)

def reversal(close, period=5):
    return -close.pct_change(period)

def volatility(close, period=20):
    return -(close.pct_change().rolling(period).std() * np.sqrt(252))

def price_volume_divergence(close, volume, period=20):
    price_ret = close.pct_change()
    vol_ret = volume.pct_change()
    result = pd.DataFrame(index=close.index, columns=close.columns, dtype=float)
    for col in close.columns:
        if col in volume.columns:
            result[col] = price_ret[col].rolling(period).corr(vol_ret[col])
    return -result

def rsi(close, period=14):
    delta = close.diff()
    gain = delta.clip(lower=0).rolling(period).mean()
    loss = (-delta.clip(upper=0)).rolling(period).mean()
    rs = gain / loss
    return -(100 - 100 / (1 + rs) - 50)

def macd_divergence(close, fast=12, slow=26, signal=9):
    ema_fast = close.ewm(span=fast, adjust=False).mean()
    ema_slow = close.ewm(span=slow, adjust=False).mean()
    dif = ema_fast - ema_slow
    dea = dif.ewm(span=signal, adjust=False).mean()
    return (dif - dea) / close

def bollinger_position(close, period=20, std_mult=2):
    ma = close.rolling(period).mean()
    std = close.rolling(period).std()
    upper = ma + std_mult * std
    lower = ma - std_mult * std
    band_width = (upper - lower).replace(0, np.nan)
    return -((close - lower) / band_width * 2 - 1)

def atr_ratio(high, low, close, period=14):
    prev_close = close.shift(1)
    tr = pd.DataFrame(
        np.maximum(np.maximum((high-low).values, (high-prev_close).abs().values), (low-prev_close).abs().values),
        index=close.index, columns=close.columns
    )
    atr = tr.rolling(period).mean()
    return -(atr / close.replace(0, np.nan))

def turnover_rate(daily_basic_df, period=20):
    df = daily_basic_df[["ts_code","trade_date","turnover_rate_f"]].copy()
    df["trade_date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["trade_date"], format="%Y%m%d")
    pivot = df.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="turnover_rate_f")
    return -pivot.rolling(period).mean()

def abnormal_turnover(daily_basic_df, period_short=5, period_long=60):
    df = daily_basic_df[["ts_code","trade_date","turnover_rate_f"]].copy()
    df["trade_date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["trade_date"], format="%Y%m%d")
    pivot = df.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="turnover_rate_f")
    return -(pivot.rolling(period_short).mean() / pivot.rolling(period_long).mean() - 1)

def pe_ttm(daily_basic_df):
    df = daily_basic_df[["ts_code","trade_date","pe_ttm"]].copy()
    df["trade_date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["trade_date"], format="%Y%m%d")
    pivot = df.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="pe_ttm")
    return -pivot.where(pivot > 0)

def pb(daily_basic_df):
    df = daily_basic_df[["ts_code","trade_date","pb"]].copy()
    df["trade_date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["trade_date"], format="%Y%m%d")
    pivot = df.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="pb")
    return -pivot.where(pivot > 0)

def dividend_yield(daily_basic_df):
    df = daily_basic_df[["ts_code","trade_date","dv_ttm"]].copy()
    df["trade_date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["trade_date"], format="%Y%m%d")
    return df.pivot_table(index="trade_date", columns="ts_code", values="dv_ttm")

# ── 预处理函数 / Preprocessing functions ──

def winsorize_mad(df, n=5):
    median = df.median(axis=1)
    mad = df.sub(median, axis=0).abs().median(axis=1)
    upper = median + n * 1.4826 * mad
    lower = median - n * 1.4826 * mad
    return df.clip(lower, upper, axis=0)

def zscore_cross_section(df):
    return df.sub(df.mean(axis=1), axis=0).div(df.std(axis=1), axis=0)

def standardize(df, mad_n=5):
    return zscore_cross_section(winsorize_mad(df, n=mad_n))

# ── 计算因子 / Compute factor ──
factor_values = <因子函数>(close, ...)  # 根据因子类型调用 call by factor type
factor_values = standardize(factor_values)  # 截面标准化 cross-sectional standardize

按上述模式现场编写更多因子 / Write more factors following the pattern above: 对于内置因子映射表中未在上面提供完整实现的因子(如 roe, roa, gross_margin, net_profit_growth 等基本面因子), AI应参考已有因子的实现模式,使用 pandas pivot + rolling 等操作现场编写代码。 For built-in factors not fully implemented above (e.g., roe, roa, gross_margin, net_profit_growth), the AI should write code on-the-fly following the same pattern using pandas pivot + rolling operations.

内置因子映射表 / Built-in Factor Mapping(用户说因子名时参考 reference when user mentions factor name):

  • momentum_20 → momentum(close, 20)
  • reversal_5 → reversal(close, 5)
  • volatility_20 → volatility(close, 20)
  • pv_diverge → price_volume_divergence(close, volume, 20)

    mono_corr, mono_p = stats.spearmanr(range(5), group_means)
    results[hp] = {
        "ic_mean": ic_mean, "icir": icir, "ic_pos_ratio": ic_pos_ratio,

Step 6: 生成报告 / Generate Report

python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib

matplotlib.rcParams["font.sans-serif"] = ["SimHei", "Arial Unicode MS", "DejaVu Sans"]
matplotlib.rcParams["axes.unicode_minus"] = False

best_hp = max(results, key=lambda hp: abs(results[hp]["icir"]))
best = results[best_hp]

# 用matplotlib生成4子图报告 / Generate 4-subplot report with matplotlib:
# 子图1 Subplot1: IC时序图 IC time series (bar chart, color by positive/negative)
# 子图2 Subplot2: 累计IC Cumulative IC (line chart)
# 子图3 Subplot3: 分组累计收益 Quintile cumulative returns (5 lines, G1~G5)
# 子图4 Subplot4: 多空净值 Long-short NAV (line chart with drawdown shading)
fig, axes = plt.subplots(2, 2, figsize=(14, 10))
fig.suptitle(f"Factor Report: {factor_name} (HP={best_hp}d)")

# Plot IC series, cumulative IC, group returns, long-short NAV
# ... (AI writes the specific plotting code based on results dict)

plt.tight_layout()
save_path = os.path.join(OUTPUT_DIR, f"eval_{factor_name}.png")
fig.savefig(save_path, dpi=150, bbox_inches="tight")
plt.close()

Step 7: 输出结果 / Output Results

向用户展示如下格式的结果(使用表格)/ Present results in this format (using tables):

📊 Factor Evaluation Report / 因子评估报告: <factor_name>

  • Strong: |ICIR| >= 0.5 且 and 分组单调 quintile monotonic 且 and |L/S Sharpe 多空Sharpe| > 1
  • Moderate: |ICIR| >= 0.3 或 or |L/S Sharpe 多空Sharpe| > 0.5
  • Weak: 以上均不满足 none of the above

Step 8: 后续建议 / Follow-up Suggestions

评估完成后询问用户 / After evaluation, ask the user:

  • "Register to factor library? / 是否加入因子库?"(→ 触发 trigger alpha-library add)
  • "Run robustness test? / 是否需要鲁棒性检验?"(→ 运行 run Level 3)
  • "Run backtest? / 是否回测?"(→ 触发 trigger alpha-backtest)

注意事项 / Notes

  1. 所有Python代码用 /opt/anaconda3/bin/python 执行 / All Python code runs with /opt/anaconda3/bin/python
  2. 数据量大时预处理可能需要30秒+ / Preprocessing may take 30s+ with large data,告知用户 inform user "Loading data... / 正在加载数据..."
  3. 如果用户没有配置文件,使用默认参数并告知 / If no config file, use defaults and inform user
  4. 错误处理 Error handling:数据加载失败时给出明确提示 give clear message on data load failure(如 e.g. "Missing daily_basic data, cannot compute turnover factor / 缺少daily_basic数据,无法计算换手率因子")
  5. 因子值中的NaN是正常的 NaN in factor values is normal(停牌/新股 suspended/new stocks),不要过滤掉整行 do not filter entire rows

Frequently asked questions

What does the Alpha Evaluate AI skill do?

Factor evaluation. Multi-level evaluation pipeline (IC/ICIR/quintile/robustness). 因子评估。多级评估管线(IC/ICIR/分层/多空/鲁棒性)。 Triggers: "evaluate factor", "test factor", "评估因子", "测试因子"

Why use Alpha Evaluate on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Alpha Evaluate is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Alpha Evaluate in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/VernonOY/alpha-skills/tree/main/skills/alpha-evaluate. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Alpha Evaluate?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Alpha Evaluate?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Alpha Evaluate with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Alpha Evaluate AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by VernonOY under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
