Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.

Use whenever a task will add to, change, or reason about what is true in Arcanea. Routes to the right research and pattern libraries for each phase, defines the cross-checks that must run, and states what "done" requires. Read this before writing lore, not after.

equinor Skill Neqsim Literature SearchLiterature and web research workflow for NeqSim engineering tasks. USE WHEN: a task needs related papers, standards, textbook data, benchmark/reference data, or background information gathered from the open web and paper sources, then stored and summarized so it is reusable and distributable. Stores papers under references/literature/, saved web pages/extracts under references/web/, writes a structured literature_findings.md (claims + citations + relevance), and feeds the distributable references/SOURCES.md.

Triggers on prompts like "Analyze patient [ID]", "summarize patient history", "what happened to patient X", or any request to explore patient-level EHR data from MIMIC-IV tables.

howard-lynn-ye Skill Volatility ModelsFit and forecast volatility - GARCH, range-based realized variance, HAR-RV - without the two errors that silently move the answer: the units `arch` expects, and a range estimator used on bars that gap. TRIGGER - GARCH, GARCH(1,1), EGARCH, GJR-GARCH, arch_model, conditional_volatility, DataScaleWarning, "y is poorly scaled", rescale=True, res.scale, alpha + beta near 1, IGARCH, persistence; realized volatility, realized variance, Parkinson, Garman-Klass, Rogers-Satchell, Yang-Zhang, close-to-close, high-low volatility estimator; HAR-RV, Corsi; "my GARCH forecast says 1200% annualised vol", "which volatility estimator should I use", vol targeting input. SKIP for the arch package's API and its SPA/StepM/MCS bootstrap (lib-arch), for choosing a forecasting library (factor-and-timeseries-research), for discrete high-vol/low-vol state labels (regime-detection), for implied volatility (derivatives-pricing), and for turning a vol forecast into position size (portfolio-and-risk).
-
howard-lynn-ye Bundle Trend Following ModelsBuild a trend-following or time-series-momentum strategy the way the paper defines it, and measure the two look-aheads that flatter its backtest. TRIGGER - time series momentum, TSMOM, Moskowitz Ooi Pedersen, 12-month momentum, trend following, managed futures, CTA replication; Donchian channel, turtle rules, breakout system, 20-day high, moving average crossover, golden cross, 50/200 MA; volatility targeting, vol scaling, ex-ante volatility, 40% vol target, risk parity across futures, inverse-vol sizing, ATR sizing; "my trend backtest has a Sharpe of 3", "should I skip the most recent month", "do I trade the close or the next open". SKIP for computing the indicator itself and whether it repaints (signal-construction), for cross-sectional ranking of many names (factor-and-timeseries-research), for combining several alphas into one (alpha-combination-and-neutralization), for how much to bet given an edge (position-sizing-kelly), and for the engine that runs the loop (backtesting-engines).
-
howard-lynn-ye Skill Alpha Combination And NeutralizationScore several alphas, combine them, and strip the exposures you did not mean to take. TRIGGER - information coefficient, IC, rank IC, ICIR, IC decay, "is my IC good", IC t-stat, Newey-West on IC, overlapping forward returns; combining alphas, blending signals, alpha weighting, z-score or rank combination, multi-factor signal; sector neutral, beta neutral, market neutral signal, industry neutralization, residualize the alpha, cross-sectional regression residuals, orthogonalize signals; winsorize, clip outliers, cross-sectional standardization; turnover-aware combination, signal smoothing, "my alpha dies after costs". SKIP for one time-series trend signal (trend-following-models), for the factor library and the alphalens forward-return convention (factor-and-timeseries-research, lib-alphalens), for weights under constraints (portfolio-and-risk), and for whether the survivor is real (backtest-validation).
