Detect backtest iteration stagnation and generate structurally different strategy pivot proposals when parameter tuning reaches a local optimum.
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
# Strategy Pivot Designer ## Overview Detect when a strategy's backtest iteration loop has stalled and propose structurally different strategy architectures. This skill acts as the feedback loop for the Edge pipeline (hint-extractor -> concept-synthesizer -> strategy-designer -> candidate-agent), breaking out of local optima by redesigning the strategy's skeleton rather than tweaking parameters. ## When to Use - Backtest scores have plateaued despite multiple refinement iterations. - A strategy shows signs of overfitting (high in-sample, low robustness). - Transaction costs defeat the strategy's thin edge. - Tail risk or drawdown exceeds acceptable thresholds. - You want to explore fundamentally different strategy architectures for the same market hypothesis. ## Prerequisites - Python 3.9+ - `PyYAML` - Iteration history JSON (accumulated backtest-expert evaluations) - Source strategy draft YAML (from edge-strategy-designer) ## Output - `pivot_drafts/research_only/*.yaml` — strategy_draft compatible YAML proposals - `pivot_drafts/exportable/*.yaml` — export-ready drafts + ticket YAML for candidate-agent - `pivot_report_*.md` — human-readable pivot analysis …

How to install
mdr add tradermonty/claude-trading-skills/strategy-pivot-designer@sha256:782aaf829ac09397The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.d92c667, 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.
