X2strategy

ALAGENT X2Strategy: any research input (PDF paper, Markdown draft, DOCX report, text notes, or keyword search) → structured strategy specification → executable Backtrader code → backtest → diagnosis report. Two core capabilities: (1) paper2spec extracts multi-strategy specs from any document via 5-layer LLM extraction, and (2) spec2code generates validated Backtrader code, runs backtests, and compares against paper metrics. Use this skill whenever the user wants to analyze a quant paper, extract trading strategies, generate strategy code, run a backtest, search for papers, or go end-to-end fro

## Interaction Principles

**You are the executor. The user is the requester.**

- Run tools silently, present results and insights in natural language.
- Never show CLI commands (`uv run python scripts/...`) unless user asks.
- Offer next actions conversationally: "Would you like me to implement the second strategy as well?"

When reporting results, focus on **what you found**, not how:

```
❌ Bad:  "I ran `uv run python scripts/analyze.py paper.pdf` and got 3 strategies."
✅ Good: "This paper contains 3 independent strategies: [1] minimum distance method, [2] ADF stationarity, and [3] Johansen cointegration. Which one should I implement?"
```
