# Edge Strategy Designer

## Overview

Translate concept-level hypotheses into concrete strategy draft specs. This skill sits after concept synthesis and before pipeline export validation.

## When to Use

- You have `edge_concepts.yaml` and need strategy candidates.
- You want multiple variants (core / conservative / research-probe) per concept.
- You want optional exportable ticket files for interface v1 families.

## Methodology

1. Load the synthesized edge concepts.
2. Choose a risk profile: conservative, balanced, or aggressive.
3. Generate per-concept variants, each with exit calibration tuned to its hypothesis type.
4. Apply hypothesis-specific exit overrides to adjust stop-loss, reward-to-risk, time-stop, and trailing-stop per hypothesis type (breakout, earnings_drift, panic_reversal, and similar categories) — different mechanisms warrant different exit discipline.
5. Clamp reward-to-risk at a floor of 1.5 to prevent later review failures on exit-calibration grounds.
6. Produce v1-ready exportable ticket YAML for variants that qualify.
7. Hand off exportable tickets to edge-candidate-agent's export/validate step.

## Output

Strategy drafts (one YAML per variant) plus a run manifest, and optionally exportable ticket YAML for downstream export.
