# Edge Strategy Reviewer

Deterministic quality gate for strategy drafts produced by `edge-strategy-designer`.

## When to Use

- After `edge-strategy-designer` generates `strategy_drafts/*.yaml`
- Before exporting drafts to `edge-candidate-agent` via the pipeline
- When manually validating a draft strategy for edge plausibility

## Prerequisites

- Strategy draft YAML files (output of `edge-strategy-designer`)
- Python 3.10+ with PyYAML

## Workflow

1. Load draft YAML files from `--drafts-dir` or a single `--draft` file
2. Evaluate each draft against 8 criteria (C1-C8) with weighted scoring
3. Compute confidence score (weighted average of all criteria)
4. Determine verdict: PASS / REVISE / REJECT
5. Assess export eligibility (PASS + export_ready_v1 + exportable family)
6. Write review output (YAML or JSON) and optional markdown summary

## Review Criteria

| # | Criterion | Weight | Key Checks |
|---|-----------|--------|------------|
| C1 | Edge Plausibility | 20 | Thesis quality, domain terms, mechanism keywords (continuous 50-95) |
| C2 | Overfitting Risk | 20 | 5-tier filter count scoring (90/80/60/40/10), precise threshold penalty |
| C3 | Sample Adequacy | 15 | Continuous scoring from estimated annual opportunities (10-95) |
| C4 | Regime Dependency | 10 | Cross-regime validation |
| C5 | Exit Calibration | 10 | Stop-loss, reward-to-risk |
| C6 | Risk Concentration | 10 | Position sizing limits |
| C7 | Execution Realism | 10 | Volume filter, export consistency |
| C8 | Invalidation Quality | 5 | Signal count and specificity |

## Verdict Logic

- C1 or C2 severity=fail → immediate REJECT
- confidence >= 70, no fail findings → PASS
- confidence < 35 → REJECT
- Otherwise → REVISE (with revision instructions)

## Running the Script

```bash
# Review all drafts in a directory
python3 skills/edge-strategy-reviewer/scripts/review_strategy_drafts.py \
  --drafts-dir reports/edge_strategy_drafts/ \
  --output-dir reports/

# Single draft review
python3 skills/edge-strategy-reviewer/scripts/review_strategy_drafts.py \
  --draft reports/edge_strategy_drafts/draft_xxx.yaml \
  --output-dir reports/

# JSON output with markdown summary
python3 skills/edge-strategy-reviewer/scripts/review_strategy_drafts.py \
  --drafts-dir reports/edge_strategy_drafts/ \
  --output-dir reports/ \
  --format json \
  --markdown-summary

# Strict export mode: export-eligible drafts with any warn → REVISE
python3 skills/edge-strategy-reviewer/scripts/review_strategy_drafts.py \
  --drafts-dir reports/edge_strategy_drafts/ \
  --output-dir reports/ \
  --strict-export
```

## Output Format
