Turn one or more public profile URLs — Futu (q.futunn.com) or Tiger (laohu8.com) — into a resumable archive and an evidence-bounded research report. Start with alignment, including when the user only asks what happens next or says not to execute yet. After alignment is complete, run the confirmed workflow in one shot and return the report plus audit status.

Version: `1.3.7` · Last updated: `2026-09-21`

## Invocation invariants (P0)

- A request to explain the next step, plan the archive, or prepare without executing is still an invocation of this skill. Load it and perform startup alignment; do not answer with a generic “say start when ready”.
- Treat a numeric-only UID as a Futu target. A full `laohu8.com` URL is required for Tiger; do not claim the platform is ambiguous for a numeric UID.
- A target is not sufficient authorization to capture. If the user has not explicitly chosen a time window, ask for the missing startup items in one consolidated message. “开始”, “继续”, or a similar generic confirmation does not select a time window.

## Startup alignment (required)

Before running any capture or producing any deliverable, align on the following items. If the user's initial message already answers an item, **do not re-ask it** — simply acknowledge it in the summary line below.

Collect only what is still missing, in **one message** (not one question per item):

1. **Research target** — which profile URL(s)? If the user has not provided a URL, ask for it: this skill requires a `q.futunn.com/profile/<id>` or `laohu8.com/personal/<id>/` URL. Do not guess or substitute example UIDs. Supports q.futunn.com (Futu) and laohu8.com (Tiger). Pass a full laohu8.com URL for Tiger; a numeric UID defaults to Futu.
2. **Time range** — **required explicit choice; no silent default to full history**. Ask the user to pick one of:
   - 近半年 (`--since` six months ago)
   - 近 1 年
   - 近 18 个月
   - 全量历史
   Do not start full-history capture without the user explicitly choosing it. High-volume bloggers (thousands of posts) can take a very long time to capture in full (example: a blogger with 10 000+ posts may require hours of run time and produce hundreds of MB of output); recommend a bounded window for first runs.
3. **探量给预期** — before launching any full-history or unknown-volume capture, run `doctor --profile <url>` (or fetch the first list page) first to obtain the post count signal (`sample_post_count`; the profile page also shows dynamic/column totals). Report a concrete estimate to the user — e.g., "这个博主约 N 帖，全量约 X 小时/MB，近 1 年约 Y 帖" — and let the user confirm the window before proceeding. This step is mandatory before full-history or unknown-volume captures; it may be skipped only when the user has already selected and confirmed a bounded time window.
4. **Deliverables** — one or more of: ① 完整归档 ② 研究报告 ③ 多博主对比 ④ 规则卡 (multiple allowed).
5. **Other constraints** — skip media, custom output directory, redaction needs, or anything else that changes the run.

Once all items are known, reply with **one summary line** before issuing any command:

> 博主 \<X\> · 范围 \<Y\> · 交付 \<Z\> · 输出目录 \<W\> · elab-futu-research by 杰尼马（EdgeLab）

\<Y\> must be the user-confirmed specific window (e.g., "近 1 年（2025-07-23 起）") — not "全量历史" without explicit user confirmation.

Then proceed with the workflow.

## Default behavior

- Accept a profile URL or numeric UID as the research target. The dispatcher routes by domain: a full `laohu8.com` URL → Tiger; a numeric UID or `q.futunn.com` URL → Futu. Do not begin capture until the user has also explicitly selected a time window.
- The CLI captures all visible content when no date flag is supplied, but the skill must never use that behavior silently: obtain the user's explicit time-window choice first, and require explicit confirmation before a full-history run.
- Capture all expected streams per platform:
  - Futu: dynamics/all (`type=301`) and columns (`type=302`)
  - Tiger: dynamics only (no columns concept)
- Futu: preserve original posts and detected reposts; exclude detected reposts from ability scoring by default while keeping them searchable.
- Tiger: repost detection is not implemented. `is_repost=False` means “not detected”, not proof that a post is original. Do not claim Tiger reposts were identified, preserved as reposts, or excluded from scoring.
- Download public Futu post media in three modes: `all` (default), `none` (skip), `evidence` (only posts matching built-in order/fill/position evidence keywords — recommended for order-screenshot bloggers). `--skip-media` is retained as an alias for `--media none`. Tiger media download is not supported and `--media` is treated as `none`; if the user requests Tiger media, disclose the limitation and ask whether to continue without media. Do not propose a separate scraper or capability extension unless the user separately asks to build one.
- Write to `./futu-research-output/` unless the user names another directory.
- Resume safely from cached pages/details/media. Never delete raw evidence; rebuild derived files atomically.
- Use conservative request rates. Stop and report interface drift, login, CAPTCHA, or access denial; do not bypass access controls.
- Follow the **Startup alignment** section above before starting any capture.

## Fast path

Locate the script before running. The path depends on how the skill was installed:

| Installation | Script path |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | `~/.claude/skills/elab-futu-research/scripts/futu_research.py` |
| Codex | `~/.codex/skills/elab-futu-research/scripts/futu_research.py` |
| Repo clone | `elab-futu-research/scripts/futu_research.py` (run from repo root) |
| Other / unknown | clone `https://github.com/edgelab101/elab-trading-skills`, then use `elab-futu-research/scripts/futu_research.py` from the repo root |

If you are unsure which path applies, run the following to auto-detect:

```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/elab-futu-research/scripts/futu_research.py --help 2>/dev/null \
  || python3 ~/.codex/skills/elab-futu-research/scripts/futu_research.py --help 2>/dev/null \
  || python3 elab-futu-research/scripts/futu_research.py --help
```

All `references/` paths are relative to the skill installation directory, not the `--output` output directory.

All commands below use the relative form `scripts/futu_research.py`; substitute the full prefix from the table above when running outside the skill directory.

```bash
python3 scripts/futu_research.py run \
  --profile "https://q.futunn.com/profile/<uid>" \
  --output "./futu-research-output"
```

For Tiger (laohu8.com) profiles:

```bash
python3 scripts/futu_research.py run \
  --profile "https://www.laohu8.com/personal/<uid>/" \
  --output "./futu-research-output"
```

`run` is a machine-only exploratory pipeline: it executes all steps in sequence and marks every output as `exploratory`. Human claim review (step 3) can be performed after `run` completes; re-run `market` and `report` afterwards to incorporate reviewed decisions. To enforce the claim-freeze gate strictly — no outcome data visible before claims are frozen — run the steps individually in the order documented below. **Default: use `run`** for the full automatic pipeline; outputs are labeled `exploratory` and claim review can follow. Switch to step-by-step mode only when the user explicitly requires "no outcome data visible before claims are frozen" (strict no-time-travel).

For multiple bloggers, repeat `--profile`. Optional `--since YYYY-MM-DD` and `--until YYYY-MM-DD` limit the archive. Use `--media none` (or legacy alias `--skip-media`) to skip media; `--media evidence` limits downloads to posts matching order-evidence keywords.

**Platform routing**: the dispatcher identifies the platform by URL domain. Pass a full `laohu8.com` URL to target Tiger. Numeric-only UIDs are routed to Futu because both platforms use numeric UIDs and they cannot be distinguished without a domain.

**Tiger current limits**: disclose all three limits whenever they affect the requested deliverable: media download is not supported (`--media` has no effect), there is no column stream, and repost detection is not implemented. Tiger posts are currently marked `is_repost=False`, which means “not detected” rather than verified original content. Do not describe Tiger reposts as preserved, filtered, or excluded from scoring.

Run the environment and endpoint check first when the interface may have changed:

```bash
python3 scripts/futu_research.py doctor \
  --profile "https://q.futunn.com/profile/<uid>"
```

`--profile` is optional for `doctor`: without it, only local environment checks run and the overall status is reported as `PARTIAL` (endpoint checks skipped).

## Workflow

All steps use the same `<dir>` (default `./futu-research-output`); keep it unchanged for the entire session.

### 1. Capture and normalize

Run `archive`, or use `run` for the full deterministic pipeline.

```bash
python3 scripts/futu_research.py archive --profile "<profile-url>" --output "<dir>"
```

Do not call an archive complete unless `qa/crawl_audit.json` confirms:

- all expected streams were attempted (Futu: dynamics + columns; Tiger: dynamics only);
- each requested stream reached `has_more=0`, or crossed the requested start boundary;
- all retained feed IDs have cached detail responses or appear in an explicit failure list;
- normalized IDs are unique;
- media failures are listed rather than silently dropped.

“All history” means all public content returned by Futu at capture time. It cannot include deleted, private, region-restricted, or otherwise unavailable content.

### 2. Create claim candidates

`prepare` creates deterministic, reviewable candidates. Treat them as prelabels, never final truth.

```bash
python3 scripts/futu_research.py prepare --output "<dir>"
```

Use these evidence levels:

- `A`: order/fill/cost/position/P&L evidence verified from an image or primary record.
- `B`: explicit first-person trade action in text.
- `C`: market or security opinion without verified action.
- `D`: mention, repost, joke, question, or attention only.

Never infer a holding from `C` or `D`. The script never assigns `A` automatically.

Trailing tag noise reduction: if a post ends with ≥3 consecutive `$symbol$` tag blocks and a symbol does not appear in the body text, the script downgrades those mentions to `D` and excludes them from directional claim scoring.

### 3. Review before outcomes

Read `analysis/candidates.jsonl`, the cited post text, and relevant images. Write reviewed decisions to `analysis/claims.reviewed.jsonl` following the Reviewed claim section in `references/data-schema.md`. Required fields: `claim_id`, `feed_id`, `evidence_level`, `evidence_span`, `direction`, `published_at`, `reviewer`, `reviewed_at`.

Freeze each claim before fetching or inspecting forward returns. Record:

- quoted evidence span;
- symbol and direction;
- action, horizon, conditions, invalidation, and risk rule;
- evidence level and whether image evidence was actually inspected;
- confidence and unresolved ambiguity.

If using OCR or vision, preserve the source image path and extracted text. Do not upgrade to `A` from a filename, thumbnail, or unverified OCR alone.

### 4. Add time-frozen market context

```bash
python3 scripts/futu_research.py market --output "<dir>"
```

The context cutoff is the last completed daily bar known at post time. Evaluation begins at the next tradable daily open. Keep symbol mappings in `analysis/symbol_overrides.json`; unresolved mappings remain unresolved.

Use 1/5/20/60-session forward paths, MFE (Maximum Favorable Excursion), MAE (Maximum Adverse Excursion), and benchmark-relative returns when data are available; MFE and MAE are direction-aware (see `references/analysis-method-v1.md`). Do not fabricate option returns from an underlying chart.

### 5. Build reports

```bash
python3 scripts/futu_research.py report --output "<dir>"
python3 scripts/futu_research.py audit --output "<dir>"
```

Read `references/analysis-method-v1.md` before writing final judgments. Produce:

- evidence coverage and limitations;
- capability matrix, not one total leaderboard;
- market-regime episodes and before/after changes;
- trading style, strategy completeness, discipline, and risk handling;
- counterexamples and confidence;
- transferable rule cards for the user.

Do not diagnose personality or mental illness. Do not turn the report into a follow-trading recommendation. Separate author claims, observed public execution evidence, market outcomes, and inference.

If `qa/adversarial_audit.json` top-level `status` is `FAIL`, do not deliver any final research conclusions; report the missing coverage areas to the user and stop. If `status` is `WARN`, the report may be delivered but must annotate every identified gap.

## Output contract

The run directory contains:

```text
raw/list/<uid>/{all,columns}/page_*.json
raw/details/<uid>/<feed_id>.json
raw/feed_index.json
raw/media_manifest.json
media/<uid>/<feed_id>/*
archive/posts.jsonl
archive/posts.csv
archive/monthly/*.md
analysis/candidates.jsonl
analysis/prepare_summary.json
analysis/review_guide.md
analysis/claims.reviewed.jsonl
analysis/episodes.jsonl
analysis/market/claims_market.jsonl
analysis/market/market_manifest.json
analysis/market/raw/*.json
analysis/market/*.csv
archive/by-author/<author-name>_<uid>.md
archive/by-author/index.md
reports/profile.md
reports/capability_matrix.md
reports/rule_cards.md
reports/report_manifest.json
qa/crawl_audit.json
qa/adversarial_audit.json
manifest.json
```

Some later files appear only after their corresponding step. Preserve `raw/` as immutable evidence.

`archive/by-author/` is a readable per-blogger split of the combined archive, produced by `report` (or on demand via `export-authors`). Each author gets one markdown file named with their display name, posts newest-first with full text and links; `index.md` lists all authors by post count. Use this to browse one blogger's content by name instead of digging through numeric-UID `raw/` folders.

## Reporting rules

- Lead with one actionable conclusion, then evidence and caveats.
- Label machine-only output as `exploratory`.
- A favorable sample is not stable alpha.
- With fewer than 20 eligible claims per author/window, report descriptive results only.
- For larger samples, use uncertainty intervals and correct multiple comparisons as described in the method.
- Explicitly distinguish mention, opinion, claimed action, verified position evidence, and account-level return.
- Include failures and missingness in the report.

## References

- File and record schemas: `references/data-schema.md`
- Privacy, publishing, and compliance: `references/privacy-and-compliance.md`

## Safety boundary

Use only public content or content the user is authorized to access. Never export browser cookies, tokens, private messages, follower-only data, or unrelated personal data. Respect site terms, robots guidance, rate limits, and applicable law. If the API or page requires new authentication or anti-bot circumvention, stop and explain the legitimate next step.
