🐳 dsh-quant — The Everything-Plugin Quant OS

📣 Announcement archive: 2026-09-01 X open-source launch copy

🌐 Site: https://dsh-quant-site.pages.dev · ✅ Listed in awesome-dsh-plugin (one-click install via dsh-market)

AI-native & DSH-native quant toolkit for every quant aspect — 59 tools · 6 domains (data / alpha / ML / risk / execution / ecosystem) · one end-to-end PDAT→PET research pipeline. Methods open, secrets internal.

🧩 Core Philosophy: Everything is a Plugin (quant edition)

dsh's philosophy is everything is a plugin; dsh-quant brings it to quant — open-sourcing the internal five-team paradigm (PDAT → PAAT → PCPT → PRT → PET) as five pluggable modules:

data plugin   dsh-data      market data / sources / quality  ← plug in Binance or your own data
alpha plugin  dsh-alpha     indicators / factors / eval      ← write your own alpha (internal alpha stays private)
model plugin  dsh-ml        backtests / ML/DL/RL framework   ← train your own models (internal research stays private)
risk plugin   dsh-risk      VaR / drawdown / options / bonds ← set your own risk limits
exec plugin   dsh-execution sim execution / fund / report    ← build your own trading system (paper or live)

• What's open is the paradigm: how modules compose, how contracts are defined (null alignment / no look-ahead / hand-computed tests), how results are validated — not the internal secrets
• You fill it in: product power = UI + strategies + data interfaces + DL/RL models + trading-system building, all self-assembled, all pluginized
• Infinite self-evolution: fill the framework with your modules → run paper/live → feed the ecosystem back — that's dsh-quant

Plugin call for proposals: Issue #27 (five modules × many plugins) — PDAT plugins, PET plugins, anything you can imagine 🐋

🤖 AI-Native Is Deliberate (design statement)

dsh-quant's primary consumer is the agent (the model), not the human — a deliberate choice from day one:

• Tool schemas are injected into the system prompt — every contract (args / outputs / alignment rules) is written from the model's perspective
• Equal-length null alignment — outputs match input length; leading window positions are null, so the model aligns by index and never pads
• Canonical JSON + render separation — machines read structure, humans read prose
• All isConcurrencySafe — pure functions, no shared state; agents can call all 59 tools in parallel without interference
• Skill layer — skill/quant-research lets the model load the workflow itself

Full statement: Issue #14 "AI-native is deliberate".

🐍 Why Almost No Python?

A common question: a quant project without .py files? Answer: 0 Python files, 21 TypeScript source files, zero runtime dependencies — deliberate:

• dsh-quant is a dsh plugin running inside the harness's Node runtime: same process as the agent, composable by the Loader, reversible registration (HMR-safe) — TypeScript is the only natural choice
• Where Python is needed (akshare / tushare / baostock), use the channel knowledge base (quant_data_guide, 15 channels): dsh ships shell / subprocess capabilities, so the agent decides whether to spawn Python — dsh-quant carries no runtime
• All numerical methods (indicators / backtests / options / bonds) are pure functions with hand-computed baselines: zero deps, offline-verifiable, npm test green anywhere

One goal: build the most usable AI-native quant repo 🐋

*59 `quant_` tools · 6 domains · 215 unit tests · zero runtime deps**. Full positioning: pinned Issue #9.

🤖 For visiting agents

Agents landing on this repo: start at AGENTS.md (root-level, auto-read by Copilot / Claude Code / dsh), then the closed-loop example plugin/CASE_STUDY.md or Discussion #38, and the one-glance contract mcp/AGENT_GUIDE.md.

Quick Install (dsh users)

npm i dsh-quant

Add one line to your cordis.yml:

- name: 'dsh-quant'

59 tools auto-register — indicators / backtests / factors / risk / fund simulation / ecosystem metrics out of the box. One quant_research_pipeline runs the whole PDAT→PET chain. ML/DL knowledge: docs/ML_GUIDE.md; executable demo: npx tsx demos/ml-workflow.ts.

🚀 Product Experience: Three Minutes to a Full Quant Pipeline

Right after install, experience the complete PDAT→PET flow (BTC public data + simple strategy + backtest + paper trading):

data(quant_market_fetch) → quality(quant_data_quality) → factors(quant_factor_evaluate)
→ backtest(quant_backtest) → metrics(quant_metrics) → risk(quant_risk)
→ drawdown(quant_drawdown) → paper sim(quant_execute_sim) → fund sim(quant_fund)
→ report(quant_report)

One-liner: quant_research_pipeline(symbol=BTCUSDT, limit=120) returns everything in one call.

Then plug your own plugins into each module (data sources / alpha / models / risk / execution — everything is a plugin, proposals at Issue #27).

🖥️ UI Workbench (dsh-quant-ui)

dsh-quant-ui: candlesticks + MA overlays + trade markers, equity curves, fund NAV / management-fee / performance-fee cards, metric selector — plus a swimming chibi whale 🐋 (click the title 3 times).

Live demo: https://dsh-quant-ui.pages.dev

⌨️ CLI (dsh-quant terminal)

Zero-dependency readable terminal (pure Node + ANSI, same philosophy as the P-Research CLI). Browse the research columns and live market data without a browser:

node cli/main.mjs repo                      # 59 tools · 6 domains
node cli/main.mjs history                   # 53 firm archives index
node cli/main.mjs history citadel           # one firm's archive (rendered)
node cli/main.mjs history --reports         # ANALYSIS / TIMELINE / LINEAGE / BANK_LINEAGE
node cli/main.mjs history --search 高频      # cross-archive search
node cli/main.mjs kline BTCUSDT --limit 20  # colored OHLC table + stats
node cli/main.mjs browse                   # interactive TUI: arrow-key firm browser

After npm install -g ., the commands shorten to dsh-quant repo, dsh-quant history citadel, etc.

Tools

Typical chain (model's view)

quant_market_fetch(symbol: BTCUSDT, interval: 1d, limit: 100)
  → take close → quant_sma / quant_ema / quant_rsi / quant_macd / … → quant_backtest

Verified live: real Binance daily bars → indicators → backtest (fast 5 / slow 20) end to end.

Backtest contract

• Dual-MA crossover: buy all-in when fast SMA crosses above slow SMA, liquidate when it crosses below; signals confirm on bar i and fill at bar i+1 close (no look-ahead).
• Fees are charged on both sides of notional (feeRate per side).
• Open tail position: the last trade's exitIndex/exitPrice/returnPct are null.
• position and equityCurve match input length; equity is normalized (starts at 1); Sharpe is annualized assuming daily frequency (√365).

Alignment conventions

• All outputs are equal-length with inputs; leading unwindowed positions are null — the model aligns by index, no padding needed.
• Empty series or window > series length is a legal result (all null), not an error.
• Non-finite numbers (NaN/Infinity) are rejected at the registry's lossless-JSON argument snapshot layer (the model's JSON boundary) and never reach execute.
• Constraints (window ≥ 1 integer, macd fast < slow, atr arrays equal length, multiplier > 0) are hand-checked in execute; thrown errors become isError results via the registry.

Contract (defineTool)

• Arguments use the unified schema DSL, validated by defineTool before execute (types / required / integers).
• execute returns only the canonical JSON value; output.render produces the model-facing prose.
• Every tool is isConcurrencySafe: true — pure functions, no shared state, no side effects, parallel-schedulable.
• Registration is a reversible effect: ctx.tools.register returns a disposer; fiber disposal unregisters.

Model Experience

What the model sees

Each tool's name/description/JSON schema is injected into the system-prompt assembly (ctx.systemPrompt.tools()). Descriptions state the alignment rules (which head positions are null), so the model never guesses.

Token impact

Each tool costs one fixed schema block; call results are charged by rendered content. The null-alignment design avoids repeated padding requests from the model.

KV cache impact

The schema prefix is stable (reused as long as the tool set and order are unchanged); results append after the reusable prefix.

Known limitations & roadmap

• Market coverage is crypto-first: Binance / OKX / Bybit public APIs (automatic fallback), no credentials; A-shares go through the channel knowledge base (akshare et al. as future providers).
• Backtests are a built-in strategy family: dual-MA / Bollinger breakout / RSI reversion / portfolio rebalancing / grid search; custom strategy callbacks are the future route.
• presentCall/presentResult not customized: indicator results have no file / terminal / diff semantics; UI falls back to generic cards.
• Market tools need network: live cases live in verify.ts; offline indicator / backtest cases are unaffected.

Domain layout (PDAT→PET pipeline mapping)

src/dsh-data/       data (PDAT): 3 exchanges, 15 channels, quality/annotation, resample
src/dsh-alpha/      alpha (PAAT): 12 indicators + factor eval/combine (alphalens methodology)
src/dsh-ml/         portfolio (PCPT): strategy backtests + portfolio + metric catalog
src/dsh-risk/       risk (PRT): VaR/CVaR/Beta/Alpha/IR + Kupiec test + options + bonds
src/dsh-execution/  delivery (PET): chart data plane, fund sim, research report (no live trading)
src/dsh-community/  ecosystem (unique to the open side): GitHub/npm data + influence pulse

The boundary: data and conclusions stay internal; tools and methods ship to dsh-quant — no alpha, no production strategies, no live-trading engineering, but frameworks, indicators, factor evaluation, UI and demos. See pinned Issue #9.

Quick start (after fork/pull)

npm ci && npm run build && npm test    # offline full tests (215 unit + 4 Loader)
npm run test:verify                    # live market integration (needs network)
npm run gen:tools                      # regenerate mcp/tools.json

Build & use

# build lib/ (tsc, NodeNext ESM; ships .js + .d.ts)
cd quant-indicators && tsc -p tsconfig.json

# use in dsh: add one line to cordis.yml
# - name: 'dsh-quant'
# (the Loader resolves the package exports → lib/index.js from node_modules)

Verification

# pure-function numeric correctness + market parsing + backtests (215 cases, node:test, zero deps)
cd deepseek-harness && pnpm exec tsx --test ../quant-indicators/tests/*.spec.ts

# REAL-composition: cordis.yml booted through the real Loader (registration visible / pipeline / isError / HMR-safety)
cd deepseek-harness && pnpm exec tsx --test ../quant-indicators/tests/loader-composition.spec.ts

# harness integration (schemas → execution pipeline → isError → live fetch→indicators→backtest end-to-end)
cd deepseek-harness && pnpm exec tsx ../quant-indicators/verify.ts

# consumer simulation: built lib loaded through real node_modules resolution (simulates post-install)
cd deepseek-harness && pnpm exec tsx ../quant-indicators/consumer-test/boot.ts
