SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Institutional trading, research, risk, and performance systems silently break when fed stale prices, broken symbol mappings, or mishandled corporate actions. This Skill acts as a data control function that audits market and reference data before downstream systems consume it, issuing a clear verdict and remediation path. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Feed and Reference Data Validation: Checks completeness, freshness, correctness, timestamps, unit conventions, and session logic across vendor feeds, price/volume series, and benchmark data. - Corporate Action & Mapping Review: Audits splits, dividends, spinoffs, mergers, ticker changes, and adjusted-versus-unadjusted series usage for the stated workflow. - Structured Verdict Output: Produces an eight-section review with a mandatory verdict (Trusted, Use with caveats, Quarantine, or Immediate remediation required), a 1-to-5 scorecard, downstream impact analysis, and explicit handoffs. - Use Case: A quant team receives a new vendor price feed with corporate action files. Use this Skill to reconcile it against internal reference data, detect a misapplied split adjustment, and quarantine the affected symbols before backtests consume them. ## Quick Start Use the market data integrity agent to review this vendor price feed and corporate action file for completeness, freshness, mapping errors, and adjustment mistakes before our backtests consume it.

Frequently Asked Questions about market-data-integrity-corporate-actions-agent

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate market data quality before using it in backtests?▼

Submit the vendor feed, price series, and corporate action files for review. The agent checks completeness, freshness, correctness, mapping integrity, and adjustment policy, then issues a verdict of Trusted, Use with caveats, Quarantine, or Immediate remediation required with a remediation plan.

How to check corporate action handling for splits and dividends?▼

The agent reviews splits, reverse splits, dividends, spinoffs, mergers, and delistings, verifying ex-date, record date, and payable date usage. It also checks whether adjusted or unadjusted series are appropriate for research, trading, risk, or performance attribution.

What inputs does a market data integrity review need?▼

Expected inputs include vendor feeds, price and volume series, corporate action files, symbol maps, benchmark data, timestamps, data dictionaries, reconciliation results, and error logs. The agent uses only supplied data or clearly labeled assumptions and never fabricates missing values.

Can this agent detect symbol mapping and ticker change errors?▼

Yes, it reviews ticker changes, symbol reuse, exchange changes, share classes, ADR versus local lines, and delisting treatment. It flags mapping breaks that shift history across issuers, duplicate exposures, or silently drop names from a universe.

When should market data be quarantined instead of used with caveats?▼

Quarantine applies when a data slice is unreliable for one or more downstream uses and must be isolated until reconciled or rebuilt. Use with caveats applies only when issues are known, bounded, and manageable with a clear impact radius and compensating controls.

What are the limitations of this data integrity review?▼

The agent does not generate strategy views, alpha opinions, or macro commentary, and it cannot verify data that was not supplied. Unresolved discrepancies are flagged with an impact radius and next checks rather than guessed corrections.
