backtesting

100 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

By Superior-Trade/superior-skills (GitHub) · other · 232 stars · scanned at commit 9d41db5

Use when running, interpreting, or designing backtests on Superior Trade — anything about backtest windows, trade-count thresholds, exit-reason mix, parameter sweeps, walk-forward validation, zero-trade diagnosis, compute-cost estimation, or "is this backtest result trustworthy?". Pair with the relevant strategy skill, such as mean-reversion or breakout.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'backtesting' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'backtesting' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named backtesting already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Superior-Trade/superior-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9d41db54b231f77e35610a73230eaeffcb456215' -- 'skills/backtesting' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/backtesting' ~/.agents/skills/'backtesting' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'backtesting' ~/.claude/skills/'backtesting' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
