convergence SKILL.md skillA

convergence from martianmobile/backtest2live is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add martianmobile/backtest2live/convergence@git:20261025.1577c21

Pins git:20261025.1577c21 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Evaluate whether a variant backtest sweep has converged — read the results, measure top-K dispersion, IS/OOS rank stability, and parameter-plateau structure, then decide ship vs iterate vs kill. For quant researchers running parameter sweeps. Trigger with "check convergence", "are these variants converged?", "should I keep iterating?", "evaluate this sweep", "iteration check", "convergence report".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Convergence — variant-sweep evaluation

The first capability of the **backtest2live** plugin. Drop in a table of variant backtest results — get a convergence verdict and a recommendation: ship the winner, iterate further, or kill the line of research.

This is the public, sanitized version of an internal pattern used to run multi-variant parameter sweeps in live crypto trading research at Martian Mobile. The convergence math is computed deterministically by the `backtest2live` Python package (`bt2live` CLI); the qualitative call on *which variants to try next* is left to the agent.

> Sibling evaluators (robustness, walk-forward, regime breakdown) can live alongside this one as additional skills under the same plugin.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add martianmobile/backtest2live/convergence@sha256:6404cae3860aa9de

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.1577c21, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
