Weekly Performance Digest Agent Skill

Weekly Performance Digest

Overview

Weekly Performance Digest aggregates the trades you closed during a week into a single

performance report. It reads CLOSED theses tracked by trader-memory-core

(state/theses/th_*.yaml), computes headline metrics (win rate, expectancy, profit

factor, R-multiple, MAE/MFE), breaks results down across several pattern dimensions

(source skill, exit reason, thesis type, sector, mechanism tag, screening grade), and

surfaces the week's biggest winners, losers, and lessons. Output is a JSON record plus

a human-readable Markdown report. Pure calculation — no API key required.

When to Use

• At the end of a trading week to review aggregate realized performance
• To measure win rate and expectancy across all closed positions
• To see which source skills, exit reasons, sectors, or mechanisms drove wins vs losses
• To feed a month-end review (combine four weekly digests) or a postmortem
• For a quick "what worked / what didn't" snapshot grounded in real closed trades

When Not to Use

• For a single-trade deep review — use trade-performance-coach
• For signal-level true/false-positive classification — use signal-postmortem
• For buy/sell recommendations or position sizing — this skill is descriptive only

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+ with PyYAML (already a repo dependency)
• A trader-memory-core state directory of thesis YAML files (state/theses/)
• No API key required

Workflow

Step 1: Run the digest for a week

python3 skills/weekly-performance-digest/scripts/generate_weekly_digest.py \
  --state-dir state/theses \
  --from-date 2026-06-13 --to-date 2026-06-20 \
  --output-dir reports/ -v

Defaults: --state-dir state/theses, --from-date = 7 days before --to-date,

--to-date = today, --output-dir reports/. With no date flags it digests the

trailing 7 days.

Step 2: Read the report

The run writes reports/weekly_digest_<to-date>.json and

reports/weekly_digest_<to-date>.md. Review the Markdown for the executive summary,

metrics table, pattern breakdowns, and top winners/losers; consume the JSON downstream.

Step 3 (optional): Feed downstream

Combine several weekly JSON digests for a monthly review, or pass the JSON to a

postmortem/coach step. The skill is descriptive — act on its findings via your normal

review process.

How It Works

• Trade selection. A trade counts in a week if its exit.actual_date falls in

[from-date, to-date] and status == CLOSED.

• Win/loss. outcome.pnl_dollars > 0 is a winner, < 0 a loser, == 0 breakeven;

win_rate = winners / total_trades.

• R-multiple. pnl_dollars / ((entry.actual_price − exit.stop_loss) × position.shares).

(Stop-loss is read from exit.stop_loss, per the real thesis schema.)

• Double-counting safeguard. A CLOSED thesis's outcome.pnl_dollars is the

*cumulative* realized P&L across all trims plus the final leg. Headline metrics use

that cumulative value over CLOSED theses only. The separate partial_trims block

scans status_history[] of PARTIALLY_CLOSED theses only (still open) and is

reported for information — it is never added into the headline totals/win-rate.

A position trimmed in week 1 then closed in week 2 therefore shows as a partial trim

in week 1 and inside week 2's CLOSED headline; that is intended, not a duplicate.

Markdown (weekly_digest_<to-date>.md)

Sections: # Weekly Performance Digest, ## Executive Summary,

## Performance Metrics, ## Pattern Analysis, ## Lessons Learned

(### Top Winners / ### Top Losers / ### Process Improvements).

An empty week still produces a valid report with zeroed metrics (exit code 0).

Resources

• scripts/generate_weekly_digest.py — digest generator (JSON + Markdown)
• references/weekly-digest-metrics.md — metric formulas and interpretation

Key Principles

• Closed trades only for headline numbers — cumulative outcome.*, keyed on exit date.
• No double-counting — partial trims are informational and excluded from totals.
• Pattern attribution — every win/loss is attributed across multiple dimensions.
• Descriptive, not prescriptive — the digest reports; you decide.
