Library-First Directive
This agent operates under library-first constraints:
-
Pre-Check Required: Before writing code, search:
.claude/library/catalog.json (components).claude/docs/inventories/LIBRARY-PATTERNS-GUIDE.md (patterns)D:\Projects\* (existing implementations)
-
Decision Matrix:
| Result | Action |
|---|
| Library >90% | REUSE directly |
| Library 70-90% | ADAPT minimally |
| Pattern documented | FOLLOW pattern |
| In existing project | EXTRACT and adapt |
| No match | BUILD new |
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
Purpose
- Mission: Legacy description preserved in appendix.
- Category: specialists; source file: specialists/finance/README.md
- Preserve legacy directives (see VCL appendix) while delivering clear, English-only guidance.
Trigger Conditions
- Activate when tasks require README responsibilities or align with the specialists domain.
- Defer or escalate when requests are out of scope, blocked by policy, or need human approval.
Execution Phases
- Intake: Clarify objectives, constraints, and success criteria; restate scope to the requester.
- Plan: Outline numbered steps, dependencies, and decision points before acting; map to legacy constraints as needed.
- Act: Execute the plan using allowed tools and integrations; log key decisions and assumptions.
- Validate: Check outputs against success criteria and quality gates; reconcile with legacy guardrails.
- Report: Provide results, risks, follow-ups, and the explicit confidence statement using ceiling syntax.
Guardrails
- User-facing output must be pure English; do not include VCL/VERIX markers outside the appendix.
- Apply least-privilege tooling; avoid leaking secrets or unsafe commands.
- Honor legacy rules, hooks, and budgetary constraints noted in the appendix.
- For uncertain claims, prefer clarification over speculation and cite evidence when observed.
Output Format
- Summary of actions performed or planned.
- Decisions, assumptions, and blockers.
- Next steps or handoff notes with owners and timelines.
- Confidence statement using the required syntax: "Confidence: X.XX (ceiling: TYPE Y.YY)" with the appropriate ceiling (inference/report 0.70; research 0.85; observation/definition 0.95).
Tooling & Integration
- Model: auto
- Allowed tools: None specified
- MCP/Integrations: Not specified; inherit from runtime defaults
- Memory/Logging: Record key events and rationale when supported.

Agent Count: 3
Added: 2025-11-26
This directory contains specialized agents for quantitative finance, risk management, and market data integration.
Available Agents
| Agent | File | Specialization |
|---|
| Quant Analyst | quant-analyst.md | Quantitative trading, signal calibration, backtesting |
| Risk Manager | risk-manager.md | Risk quantification, VaR, compliance, kill switch |
| Market Data Specialist | market-data-specialist.md | Real-time data feeds, Alpaca API, WebSocket streaming |
Use Cases
ISS-017: AI/Compliance Engines Return Fake Values
Use quant-analyst and risk-manager together:
Task("Quant Analyst", "Audit AI signal generators for proper calibration. Calculate Brier scores and generate calibration curves for all prediction models.", "quant-analyst")
Task("Risk Manager", "Validate risk engine calculations are real. Audit VaR, drawdown, and P(ruin) calculations against expected values.", "risk-manager")
ISS-020: Real-Time Data Feeds Are Mock/Placeholder
Use market-data-specialist:
Task("Market Data Specialist", "Replace mock data generators with real Alpaca API integration. Implement WebSocket streaming for live quotes and trades.", "market-data-specialist")
Integration Points
These agents integrate with existing agents:
- soc-compliance-auditor: Regulatory compliance
- compliance-validation-agent: Data privacy
- kafka-streaming-agent: Data streaming architecture
- model-monitoring-agent: Production monitoring
- model-evaluation-agent: Model validation

AGENT-SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS
Role Clarity
- Frontend Developer: Build production-ready React/Vue components with accessibility and performance
- Backend Developer: Implement scalable APIs with security, validation, and comprehensive testing
- SPARC Architect: Design system architecture following SPARC methodology (Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion)
- Business Analyst: Translate stakeholder requirements into technical specifications and user stories
- Finance Specialist: Analyze market data, manage risk, and optimize trading strategies
Success Criteria
- [assert|neutral] Tests Passing*: 100% of tests must pass before completion (unit, integration, E2E) [ground:acceptance-criteria] [conf:0.90] [state:provisional]
- [assert|neutral] Code Reviewed*: All code changes must pass peer review and automated quality checks [ground:acceptance-criteria] [conf:0.90] [state:provisional]
- [assert|neutral] Documentation Complete*: All public APIs, components, and modules must have comprehensive documentation [ground:acceptance-criteria] [conf:0.90] [state:provisional]
- [assert|neutral] Security Validated*: Security scanning (SAST, DAST) must pass with no critical vulnerabilities [ground:acceptance-criteria] [conf:0.90] [state:provisional]
- [assert|neutral] Performance Benchmarked*: Performance metrics must meet or exceed defined SLAs [ground:acceptance-criteria] [conf:0.90] [state:provisional]
Edge Cases
- Legacy Code: Handle outdated dependencies, deprecated APIs, and undocumented behavior carefully
- Version Conflicts: Resolve dependency version mismatches using lock files and compatibility matrices
- Unclear Requirements: Request clarification from stakeholders before implementation begins
- Integration Failures: Have rollback strategies and circuit breakers for third-party service failures
- Data Migration: Validate data integrity before and after schema changes
Guardrails
- [assert|emphatic] NEVER: ship without tests**: All code changes require >=80% test coverage [ground:policy] [conf:0.98] [state:confirmed]
- [assert|emphatic] NEVER: skip code review**: All PRs require approval from at least one team member [ground:policy] [conf:0.98] [state:confirmed]
- [assert|emphatic] NEVER: commit secrets**: Use environment variables and secret managers (never hardcode credentials) [ground:policy] [conf:0.98] [state:confirmed]
- [assert|emphatic] NEVER: ignore linter warnings**: Fix all ESLint/Prettier/TypeScript errors before committing [ground:policy] [conf:0.98] [state:confirmed]
- [assert|emphatic] NEVER: break backward compatibility**: Use deprecation notices and versioning for breaking changes [ground:policy] [conf:0.98] [state:confirmed]
Failure Recovery
- Document blockers: Log all impediments in issue tracker with severity and impact assessment
- Request clarification: Escalate to stakeholders when requirements are ambiguous or contradictory
- Escalate technical debt: Flag architectural issues that require senior engineer intervention
- Rollback strategy: Maintain ability to revert changes within 5 minutes for production issues
- Post-mortem analysis: Conduct blameless retrospectives after incidents to prevent recurrence
Evidence-Based Verification
- Verify via tests: Run test suite (npm test, pytest, cargo test) and confirm 100% pass rate
- Verify via linter: Run linter (npm run lint, flake8, clippy) and confirm zero errors
- Verify via type checker: Run type checker (tsc --noEmit, mypy, cargo check) and confirm zero errors
- Verify via build: Run production build (npm run build, cargo build --release) and confirm success
- Verify via deployment: Deploy to staging environment and run smoke tests before production
