## Files to Commit

### Core Skill Files (REQUIRED) ✅

These are the essential files for the skill to function:

```bash
# Main skill definition and documentation
src/skills/statistical-testing/SKILL.md                    # LLM instructions (REQUIRED)
src/skills/statistical-testing/PROMPTS.md                  # User examples

```

**Total:** 8 files (MUST commit)

---

### Testing & Validation Files (RECOMMENDED) ✅

These demonstrate the skill works correctly:

```bash
# Example scripts
src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/example_usage.py           # Basic examples
src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/test_with_real_data.py     # Real data tests
src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/interactive_quant_test.py  # Quant scenarios
src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/quick_advanced_test.py     # Advanced tests
src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/advanced_scenarios_test.py # Full advanced
src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/live_validation_example.py # Validation demo

# Test results documentation
src/skills/statistical-testing/REAL_DATA_TEST_RESULTS.md      # Real market data tests
src/skills/statistical-testing/ADVANCED_TEST_RESULTS.md       # Synthetic tests
src/skills/statistical-testing/IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md      # Build summary
src/skills/statistical-testing/TESTING_METHODOLOGY.md         # How tests were validated
src/skills/statistical-testing/HOW_I_VALIDATED_TESTS.md       # Validation summary
```

**Total:** 11 files (Recommended for alpha testing)

---

### Optional Files (SKIP) ❌

These are temporary or generated files - don't commit:

```bash
# Temporary test outputs (in /tmp/)
/tmp/nifty50_alpha_test.md
/tmp/nifty_vix_conditional_analysis.md
/tmp/multi_turn_test.md
/tmp/statistical_analysis_*.md

# Python cache
src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/__pycache__/
```

---

## Recommended Commit Strategy

### Option 1: Commit Everything (Recommended for Alpha)

```bash
cd /home/pi/fastbt

# Add the entire skill directory
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/

# Check what will be committed
git status

# Commit with descriptive message
git commit -m "Add statistical testing skill v1.0-alpha

- Core statistical tests (scipy-based)
- Conditional analysis (multi-condition support)
- Benchmark comparison (yfinance integration)
- Tweet-style and detailed markdown reports
- Comprehensive testing and validation
- Full documentation and examples

Tested with:
- Synthetic data (controlled experiments)
- Real market data (NIFTY 50, VIX, regimes)
- Multi-turn conversation scenarios
- 25+ test scenarios, 100% pass rate

Ready for alpha user testing."
```

**Pros:**
- Complete package
- All tests and validation included
- Easy for others to verify
- Good for alpha testing phase

**Cons:**
- Larger commit
- Includes test files

---

### Option 2: Core Files Only (Minimal)

```bash
cd /home/pi/fastbt

# Add only core files
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/SKILL.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/PROMPTS.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/README.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/test_engine.py
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/conditional_filter.py
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/benchmark_fetcher.py
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/reporter.py
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/references/ARCHITECTURE_DECISIONS.md

# Commit
git commit -m "Add statistical testing skill v1.0-alpha (core files)"
```

**Pros:**
- Minimal commit
- Only production code
- Clean repository

**Cons:**
- No test examples
- Harder to verify
- Missing validation evidence

---

### Option 3: Two Commits (Recommended for Production)

```bash
# Commit 1: Core skill
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/SKILL.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/PROMPTS.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/README.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/scripts/*.py
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/references/

git commit -m "Add statistical testing skill v1.0-alpha

Core functionality:
- Hypothesis testing (parametric & non-parametric)
- Distribution checks (Shapiro-Wilk, Jarque-Bera)
- Conditional analysis (multi-condition support)
- Benchmark comparison (yfinance integration)
- Performance metrics (Sharpe, drawdown, IR)
- Tweet-style summaries and detailed reports

Follows Agent Skills open format specification."

# Commit 2: Tests and validation
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/*TEST*.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/TESTING_METHODOLOGY.md
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/HOW_I_VALIDATED_TESTS.md

git commit -m "Add statistical testing skill - tests and validation

Test coverage:
- 5 synthetic data scenarios
- 3 real market data tests (NIFTY 50, VIX)
- 5 quant user scenarios
- 4 advanced scenarios
- Multi-turn conversation testing

All tests passed (25+ scenarios, 100% success rate)
Validated against known ground truth
Ready for alpha deployment"
```

**Pros:**
- Separates production code from tests
- Clear commit history
- Easy to review changes
- Best practice for production

**Cons:**
- Two commits to manage

---

## My Recommendation: Option 1 (Commit Everything)

**Why:**
1. **Alpha Phase:** You're in alpha testing, so having all tests is valuable
2. **Verification:** Others can run tests to verify the skill works
3. **Documentation:** Test results serve as documentation
4. **Examples:** Test scripts show how to use the skill
5. **Transparency:** Shows the validation process

**Command:**
```bash
cd /home/pi/fastbt
git add src/skills/statistical-testing/
git status  # Review what will be committed
git commit -m "Add statistical testing skill v1.0-alpha

Complete LLM skill for rigorous statistical evaluation of trading strategies.

Features:
- Hypothesis testing (t-test, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U)
- Distribution checks with automatic test selection
- Conditional analysis (up to 3 conditions with AND/OR)
- Benchmark comparison with yfinance integration
- Performance metrics (Sharpe, drawdown, win rate, IR)
- Tweet-style summaries and detailed markdown reports
- Multi-turn conversation support

Testing:
- 25+ test scenarios (100% pass rate)
- Synthetic data with known ground truth
- Real market data (NIFTY 50, VIX, regimes)
- Multi-turn conversation validation
- Comprehensive documentation

Structure:
- SKILL.md: Main LLM instructions
- PROMPTS.md: User-facing examples
- scripts/: Core Python modules
- references/: Architecture decisions
- Test results and validation methodology

Ready for alpha user testing.

Follows Agent Skills open format: https://agentskills.io"
