Goal-Driven Finance Research
Use this skill when a user asks for a multi-step finance research task, comparison, audit, thesis review, or "keep working until the answer is supported." The goal runtime is for research only. Never use it to place, submit, or execute trades.
When to Attach a Goal
Start a goal when the task has any of these traits:
- It needs multiple criteria before a conclusion is credible.
- It compares strategies, assets, regimes, or evidence sources.
- It may continue across turns or require a final audit.
- The user asks for "long driven task", "goal", "审计", "对比", "研究结论", or similar.
Do not start a goal for a tiny one-shot answer unless the user explicitly asks.
Tool Flow
- Call
start_research_goal with a concise research-only objective.
- Include 3-5 acceptance criteria when the user provided enough context.
- Before continuing an existing task, call
get_research_goal.
- After a market-data lookup, backtest, document read, web source, or manual reasoning step, call
add_goal_evidence.
- Link evidence to a criterion using
criterion_id or criterion_index.
- When all required criteria have been audited, call
update_research_goal_status.
Criteria Template
Use this shape when the user did not provide criteria:
- Define the research-only thesis and symbol universe.
- Collect fresh market, benchmark, or artifact evidence.
- Compare alternatives or a control baseline.
- Record caveats, contradictions, and the non-advice boundary.
