# Edge Signal Aggregator

## Overview

Combine outputs from multiple upstream edge-finding skills into a single weighted conviction dashboard. This skill applies configurable signal weights, deduplicates overlapping themes, flags contradictions between skills, and ranks composite edge ideas by aggregate confidence score. The result is a prioritized edge shortlist with provenance links to each contributing skill.

## When to Use

- After running multiple edge-finding skills and wanting a unified view
- When consolidating signals from edge-candidate-agent, theme-detector, sector-analyst, and institutional-flow-tracker
- Before making portfolio allocation decisions based on multiple signal sources
- To identify contradictions between different analysis approaches
- When prioritizing which edge ideas deserve deeper research

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.9+
- No API keys required (processes local JSON/YAML files from other skills)
- Dependencies: `pyyaml` (standard in most environments)

## Workflow

### Step 1: Gather Upstream Skill Outputs

Collect output files from the upstream skills you want to aggregate:
- `reports/edge_candidate_*.json` from edge-candidate-agent
- `reports/edge_concepts_*.yaml` from edge-concept-synthesizer
- `reports/theme_detector_*.json` from theme-detector
- `reports/sector_analyst_*.json` from sector-analyst
- `reports/institutional_flow_*.json` from institutional-flow-tracker
- `reports/edge_hints_*.yaml` from edge-hint-extractor

### Step 2: Run Signal Aggregation

Execute the aggregator script with paths to upstream outputs:

```bash
python3 skills/edge-signal-aggregator/scripts/aggregate_signals.py \
  --edge-candidates reports/edge_candidate_agent_*.json \
  --edge-concepts reports/edge_concepts_*.yaml \
  --themes reports/theme_detector_*.json \
  --sectors reports/sector_analyst_*.json \
  --institutional reports/institutional_flow_*.json \
  --hints reports/edge_hints_*.yaml \
  --output-dir reports/
```

Optional: Use a custom weights configuration:

```bash
python3 skills/edge-signal-aggregator/scripts/aggregate_signals.py \
  --edge-candidates reports/edge_candidate_agent_*.json \
  --weights-config skills/edge-signal-aggregator/assets/custom_weights.yaml \
  --output-dir reports/
```

### Step 3: Review Aggregated Dashboard

Open the generated report to review:
1. **Ranked Edge Ideas** - Sorted by composite conviction score
2. **Signal Provenance** - Which skills contributed to each idea
3. **Contradictions** - Conflicting signals flagged for manual review
4. **Deduplication Log** - Merged overlapping themes

### Step 4: Act on High-Conviction Signals

Filter the shortlist by minimum conviction threshold:

```bash
python3 skills/edge-signal-aggregator/scripts/aggregate_signals.py \
  --edge-candidates reports/edge_candidate_agent_*.json \
  --min-conviction 0.7 \
  --output-dir reports/
```

## Resources

- `scripts/aggregate_signals.py` -- Main aggregation script with CLI interface
- `references/signal-weighting-framework.md` -- Rationale for default weights and scoring methodology
- `assets/default_weights.yaml` -- Default skill weights configuration

## Key Principles

1. **Provenance Tracking** -- Every aggregated signal links back to its source skill and original reference
2. **Contradiction Transparency** -- Conflicting signals are flagged, not hidden, to enable informed decisions
3. **Configurable Weights** -- Default weights reflect typical reliability but can be customized per user
4. **Deduplication Without Loss** -- Merged signals retain references to all original sources
5. **Actionable Output** -- Ranked list with clear tickers, direction, and time horizon for each idea
