SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Analysts working on investment research often re-derive the same metrics from raw evidence for every report. This Skill transforms a curated evidence ledger into standardized signal cards before analyst fan-out, so downstream experts consume consistent, traceable signals instead of re-interpreting raw sources. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Signal Card Generation: Reads evidence-plan.md and evidence-ledger.md from the active workspace and writes signal-cards.md with subject, geography, period, input evidence IDs, calculation, confidence, and caveats. - Claim Boundary Enforcement: Keeps claim boundaries visible next to each signal and writes low-confidence or blocked signals instead of inventing metrics when evidence is insufficient. - Use Case: Before running multiple analyst roles on a company like CSTM, run this Skill to convert the collected evidence ledger into reusable signal primitives (e.g., revenue trend, margin direction) that each analyst cites rather than recomputing. ## Quick Start Generate signal cards from the evidence ledger in the active workspace before starting the analyst fan-out.

Frequently Asked Questions about signal-analyst

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate signal cards from an evidence ledger?▼

Place evidence-plan.md and evidence-ledger.md in the workspace's 00_evidence directory, then invoke the signal-analyst skill. It writes signal-cards.md containing subject, period, evidence IDs, calculation, confidence, and caveats for each signal.

What are signal primitives in investment research?▼

Signal primitives are reusable, evidence-derived metrics such as trends or ratios, defined independently of specific product use-cases. Each card records its input evidence IDs, calculation method, output signal, confidence level, and downstream analyst usage.

What happens when evidence is insufficient for a signal?▼

The skill writes a low-confidence or blocked signal instead of inventing a metric. It never fabricates numbers, converts relative indexes into market size, or turns trade evidence into company revenue without disclosure support.

Can signal-analyst produce investment recommendations?▼

No. The skill is explicitly prohibited from creating investment recommendations or replacing analyst findings. It only produces intermediate signal cards that downstream analyst roles consume during report generation.

When should signal-analyst run in the research workflow?▼

It runs after evidence planning and ledger collection but before analyst fan-out. It is triggered when an evidence-ledger.md exists or when the evidence planner specifies signal_primitives_needed.
