Edge Hint Extractor

Overview

Convert raw observation signals (market_summary, anomalies, news reactions) into structured edge hints. This skill is the first stage in the split workflow: observe -> abstract -> design -> pipeline.

When to Use

  • You want to turn daily market observations into reusable hint objects.
  • You want LLM-generated ideas constrained by current anomalies/news context.
  • You need a clean hints.yaml input for concept synthesis or auto detection.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+
  • PyYAML
  • Optional inputs from detector run:
    • market_summary.json
    • anomalies.json
    • news_reactions.csv or news_reactions.json

Output

  • hints.yaml containing:
    • hints list
    • generation metadata
    • rule/LLM hint counts

Workflow

  1. Gather observation files (market_summary, anomalies, optional news reactions).
  2. Run scripts/build_hints.py to generate deterministic hints.
  3. Optionally augment hints with LLM ideas via one of two methods:
    • a. --llm-ideas-cmd — pipe data to an external LLM CLI (subprocess).
    • b. --llm-ideas-file PATH — load pre-written hints from a YAML file (for Claude Code workflows where Claude generates hints itself).
  4. Pass hints.yaml into concept synthesis or auto detection.

Note: --llm-ideas-cmd and --llm-ideas-file are mutually exclusive.

Quick Commands

Rule-based only (default output to reports/edge_hint_extractor/hints.yaml):

python3 skills/edge-hint-extractor/scripts/build_hints.py \
  --market-summary /tmp/edge-auto/market_summary.json \
  --anomalies /tmp/edge-auto/anomalies.json \
  --news-reactions /tmp/news_reactions.csv \
  --as-of 2026-02-20 \
  --output-dir reports/

Rule + LLM augmentation (external CLI):

python3 skills/edge-hint-extractor/scripts/build_hints.py \
  --market-summary /tmp/edge-auto/market_summary.json \
  --anomalies /tmp/edge-auto/anomalies.json \
  --llm-ideas-cmd "python3 /path/to/llm_ideas_cli.py" \
  --output-dir reports/

Rule + LLM augmentation (pre-written file, for Claude Code):

python3 skills/edge-hint-extractor/scripts/build_hints.py \
  --market-summary /tmp/edge-auto/market_summary.json \
  --anomalies /tmp/edge-auto/anomalies.json \
  --llm-ideas-file /tmp/llm_hints.yaml \
  --output-dir reports/
