ml4t-feature-families SKILL.md skillA
ml4t-feature-families from ml4t/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ml4t/skills/ml4t-feature-families@git:20260901.c415df0Pins git:20260901.c415df0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Five families of financial features - momentum, mean-reversion, volatility, carry, and value. Use when designing a feature set to ensure coverage across complementary market dynamics.
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
# Feature Families
A model trained on six momentum variants learns one signal six ways. Diversifying across feature families - each driven by a different economic mechanism - produces more robust predictions.
## The Problem
Feature sets dominated by a single family (e.g., all momentum) are highly correlated internally. The model wastes capacity learning redundant information and becomes fragile when that one mechanism stops working. A momentum crash wipes out all signal simultaneously.
## The Pattern
### WRONG
```python
import polars as pl
# All momentum variants - same family, correlated, fragile
features = df.with_columns(
mom_5d=pl.col("close").pct_change(5).over("symbol"),
mom_21d=pl.col("close").pct_change(21).over("symbol"),
mom_63d=pl.col("close").pct_change(63).over("symbol"),
mom_126d=pl.col("close").pct_change(126).over("symbol"),
mom_252d=pl.col("close").pct_change(252).over("symbol"),
)
```
### CORRECT
```python
import polars as pl
import numpy as np
# One representative from each family - diverse signals
features = df.sort("symbol", "timestamp").with_columns(
# Momentum: trend-following

How to install
mdr add ml4t/skills/ml4t-feature-families@sha256:3d24c9e672ba31e0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.c415df0, 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.
