Backtest Engineer | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Build a backtest that will not lie to you — the engineering, not the statistics. Use when implementing, reviewing, or debugging a backtest/simulation of a trading or sequential-decision strategy: choosing event-driven vs vectorized, auditing signal-vs-execution timestamps for look-ahead, modeling transaction costs (spread, slippage, impact), serving point-in-time data, logging every rerun as a degree of freedom, and sanity-checking capacity. Complements quant-analyst (which owns the validation statistics).
