**AI-Driven Investment Quant Development and Research Framework** -- Specialized AI agents and structured workflows for systematic strategy research, backtesting, risk management, and production deployment.
**Breakthrough Method of Agile AI Driven Development** — An AI-driven agile development framework with 21 specialized agents, 50+ guided workflows, and scale-adaptive intelligence that adjusts from bug fixes to enterprise systems.
## Why Quant Method?
**100% free and open source.** No paywalls. No gated content. No gated Discord. We believe in empowering everyone, not just those who can pay.
Quantitative investment research requires rigorous process discipline -- from hypothesis formation through statistical validation to production monitoring. Traditional tools leave gaps between research notebooks and production systems. Quant Method bridges this with AI agents that act as expert collaborators across the entire quant lifecycle.
## Why BMad?
Traditional AI tools do the thinking for you, producing average results. BMad agents and facilitated workflow act as expert collaborators who guide you through a structured process to bring out your best thinking in partnership with the AI.
- **AI Intelligent Help**: Brand new for beta - AI assisted help will guide you from the beginning to the end - just ask for `/bmad-help` after you have installed BMad to your project
- **Scale-Domain-Adaptive**: Automatically adjusts planning depth and needs based on project complexity, domain and type - a SaaS Mobile Dating App has different planning needs from a diagnostic medical system, BMad adapts and helps you along the way
- **Structured Workflows**: Grounded in agile best practices across analysis, planning, architecture, and implementation
- **Specialized Agents**: 12+ domain experts (PM, Architect, Developer, UX, Scrum Master, and more)
- **Party Mode**: Bring multiple agent personas into one session to plan, troubleshoot, or discuss your project collaboratively, multiple perspectives with maximum fun
- **Complete Lifecycle**: From brainstorming to deployment, BMad is there with you every step of the way
- **Structured Research Process**: Guided workflows grounded in quantitative finance best practices across research, strategy design, validation, and production
- **Specialized Agents**: Domain experts including Quant Researcher, Portfolio Manager, Risk Analyst, Data Engineer, and more
- **Quant-Adaptive**: Adjusts depth based on strategy complexity -- a simple momentum factor needs different rigor than a multi-asset statistical arbitrage system
- **Full Lifecycle**: From alpha research through backtesting, risk analysis, and live monitoring
## Quick Start
**Prerequisites**: [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+
```bash
npx bmad-method install
npx quant-method install
```
Follow the installer prompts, then open your AI IDE (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) in the project folder.
> **Not sure what to do?** Run `/bmad-help` — it tells you exactly what's next and what's optional. You can also ask it questions like:
### Rapid Strategy Path (Quick Flow)
- `/bmad-help How should I build a web app for my TShirt Business that can scale to millions?`
- `/bmad-help I just finished the architecture, I am not sure what to do next`
Quick hypothesis testing, single-factor strategies, clear signals:
And the amazing thing is BMad Help evolves depending on what modules you install also!
- `/bmad-help Im interested in really exploring creative ways to demo BMad at work, what do you recommend to help plan a great slide deck and compelling narrative?`, and if you have the Creative Intelligence Suite installed, it will offer you different or complimentary advice than if you just have BMad Method Module installed!
1. `/strategy-spec` -- analyzes your data and produces a strategy specification with implementation tasks
2. `/dev-strategy` -- implements each task (signals, backtest, risk checks)
3. `/strategy-review` -- validates statistical rigor and code quality
The workflows below show the fastest path to working code. You can also load agents directly for a more structured process, extensive planning, or to learn about agile development practices — the agents guide you with menus, explanations, and elicitation at each step.
### Full Research Path (Quant Method)
### Simple Path (Quick Flow)
Multi-factor strategies, portfolio-level research, production deployment:
Bug fixes, small features, clear scope — 3 commands - 1 Optional Agent:
1. `/research-brief` -- define investment thesis, universe, and data requirements
2. `/create-strategy-design` -- full specification with signal definitions, risk constraints, and performance targets
3. `/create-architecture` -- technical infrastructure: data pipelines, execution systems, monitoring
4. `/create-research-plan` -- break work into prioritized research and implementation tasks
5. `/research-planning` -- initialize research tracking
6. **Repeat per task:** `/create-task` -> `/dev-task` -> `/task-review`
1. `/quick-spec` — analyzes your codebase and produces a tech-spec with stories
2. `/dev-story` — implements each story
3. `/code-review` — validates quality
## Specialized Agents
### Full Planning Path (BMad Method)
| Agent | Role | Focus |
|-------|------|-------|
| **Quant Researcher** | Alpha Research + Factor Analysis | Signal discovery, literature review, statistical analysis |
| **Portfolio Manager** | Portfolio Construction + Allocation | Position sizing, rebalancing, benchmark-aware optimization |
| **Quant Architect** | Systems Design + Infrastructure | Data pipelines, execution systems, backtesting frameworks |

| **Research Documentarian** | Research Reports + Model Documentation | Strategy documentation, research logs, compliance docs |
| **Strategy Developer** | Rapid Prototyping | Quick hypothesis testing, single-factor research |
Products, platforms, complex features — structured planning then build:
## Workflow Phases
1. `/product-brief` — define problem, users, and MVP scope
2. `/create-prd` — full requirements with personas, metrics, and risks
3. `/create-architecture` — technical decisions and system design
4. `/create-epics-and-stories` — break work into prioritized stories
5. `/sprint-planning` — initialize sprint tracking
6. **Repeat per story:** `/create-story``/dev-story``/code-review`
### Phase 1: Research
Every step tells you what's next. Optional phases (brainstorming, research, UX design) are available when you need them — ask `/bmad-help` anytime. For a detailed walkthrough, see the [Getting Started Tutorial](http://docs.bmad-method.org/tutorials/getting-started/).

persona:
role: QA Engineer
role: Risk Analyst + Model Validation Specialist
identity: |
Pragmatic test automation engineer focused on rapid test coverage.
Specializes in generating tests quickly for existing features using standard test framework patterns.
Simpler, more direct approach than the advanced Test Architect module.
Rigorous risk management and model validation expert focused on identifying strategy vulnerabilities.
Specializes in drawdown analysis, stress testing, regime detection, and statistical validation of backtest results.
Ensures strategies are robust before capital allocation.
communication_style: |
Practical and straightforward. Gets tests written fast without overthinking.
'Ship it and iterate' mentality. Focuses on coverage first, optimization later.
Skeptical and thorough. Assumes every backtest is overfit until proven otherwise.
'Show me the out-of-sample results' mentality. Focuses on tail risks and worst-case scenarios first.
principles:
- Generate API and E2E tests for implemented code
- Tests should pass on first run
- Every strategy must pass statistical significance tests before proceeding
- Out-of-sample validation is mandatory, not optional
- Risk metrics must include drawdown, VaR, CVaR, and regime-conditional analysis
- Transaction costs, slippage, and capacity constraints must be realistic
critical_actions:
- Never skip running the generated tests to verify they pass
- Always use standard test framework APIs (no external utilities)
- Keep tests simple and maintainable
- Focus on realistic user scenarios
- Never skip out-of-sample validation
- Always check for look-ahead bias in signal construction
- Test under multiple market regimes (bull, bear, sideways, crisis)
- Verify statistical significance with proper multiple testing correction
- Document all assumptions and their sensitivity

- Perform stress testing across market regimes
- Validate backtest statistical significance
- Detect overfitting and look-ahead bias
- Assess transaction cost and capacity impact
**When to use me:**
- Quick test coverage for small-medium projects
- Beginner-friendly test automation
- Standard patterns without advanced utilities
- After initial backtesting to validate results
- Before allocating capital to a strategy
- When strategy performance changes in production
- For periodic risk review of live strategies
**Need more advanced testing?**
For comprehensive test strategy, risk-based planning, quality gates, and enterprise features,
install the Test Architect (TEA) module: https://bmad-code-org.github.io/bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise/
Ready to generate some tests? Just say `QA` or `bmad-bmm-automate`!
Ready to analyze? Just say `RA` for risk analysis or `MV` for model validation.
