# HEDGEFUND.md

> A skill and 24 asset model templates for AI agents, built around tokenized assets: T-bills, private credit, property, commodities and collateral, plus equities, rates, options and credit, on your own numbers. No market data, no trades, no offer. Version 1.0. MIT.

A skill for AI agents working on tokenized assets and the rest of a book, with the person's limits written in, plus 24 asset model templates that run on numbers the agent brings. Every result gives a summary, readings, flips (the input value where the outcome changes), flags, assumptions and a not_modeled list, and a HEDGEFUND.md file holds a book of limits and sleeves that check_order compares an order against. It is not a fund or an offer, and it doesn't act as an adviser. It has no market data, never trades, and its results are hypothetical. 25 settings in 7 groups, numbers or fixed choices only. Presets: example_start, market_neutral, tokenized_assets, systematic, research_only. Settings an agent drafted count only after the person says yes: show them to the person first, and follow them only once they agree.

Use at your own risk. hedgefund.md is provided as is, without warranty. It is not a fund, and it isn't anyone's adviser. Information here may be inaccurate, incomplete or not current, and is not verified. Nothing here is investment, legal, tax, accounting or regulatory advice, a recommendation, or an offer of any security, token or fund interest. Results are hypothetical: simplified arithmetic on the numbers sent, a made-up template or a stated default, prepared with hindsight. Nobody achieved them, they are not a record of real trading, and they don't indicate future results. hedgefund.md never trades, takes money, holds keys or assets, issues or sells any security or token, runs a fund or gives investment advice. Don't show any output to investors or clients, or use it to market an investment. Check everything yourself before you act on it.

## Skill

- [HEDGEFUND.md](https://hedgefund.md/hedgefund.md): load into your agent's instructions or save as ~/.claude/skills/hedgefund/SKILL.md (sha256 5dd8dba4848b852ca15042053cd047d05737f98d512edbc0efd615706e2d0290)
- [HEDGEFUND.md with settings](https://hedgefund.md/hedgefund.md?preset=market_neutral): a preset plus any settings; each setting overrides the preset

## The file: HEDGEFUND.md

- [HEDGEFUND.md spec](https://hedgefund.md/spec.md) (sha256 f8f30b86673a0fda53f8e155c8c600ef81645fd5a2145eb73ffe2e0cc47f3425): version 1 of the file that holds a book's limits and sleeves, exact enough to write a second reader
- [JSON Schema](https://hedgefund.md/schema.json): JSON Schema for the parsed form of a HEDGEFUND.md file
- [Test vectors](https://hedgefund.md/vectors.json) (sha256 ac5998cd23bd9a886fb3180b40f43f2e5f6dac19d78829e547ca5a701342385f): test vectors: inputs and the exact outputs for hashing, the math core, every model, every book and every order example, written from the code
- [Local library](https://hedgefund.md/hedgefund.mjs) (sha256 8db278782ce418b0582f0531e8cd22879a728762ce371c4b4cf72dbb693b544c): the models, the format and the order check as one dependency-free ES module with a command line, for numbers that stay on your machine
- [Starters](https://hedgefund.md/starters): complete made-up books that run as they stand (multi_desk, tokenized_assets, trend_and_rates, credit_book, digital_assets), each at https://hedgefund.md/starters/<kind>

## Models

- [All 24 models](https://hedgefund.md/models): an index of every model, by desk. Each has a page at https://hedgefund.md/models/<id> and the same as Markdown at https://hedgefund.md/models/<id>/model.md: what it asks, its inputs, its template as JSON, its formula, assumptions and not_modeled list, and how to call it.

## Paste-ready prompts

Every model is also a prompt that needs no connection here, with its method, conventions and the values to check it against: https://hedgefund.md/models/<id>/prompt.md. https://hedgefund.md/prompts.json lists them with hashes. Copies that stay fixed for this version and are cached for a year: https://hedgefund.md/v/1.0/models/<id>.md. The prompts about tokens and what's under them, as one file: https://hedgefund.md/v/1.0/tokenized.md.

## API (no key, CORS open, tools keep nothing you send)

Send real positions by POST, because a URL can land in a host's log. run_book, check_hedgefund_md, build_hedgefund_md and check_order take POST only, and a GET with arguments gets a 405.

- [tokenized_bills](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/tokenized_bills): T-bill token. Values a token backed by a T-bill ladder and cash, gives gross and net yield, then walks a redemption run day by day: maturities in, redemptions paid after settlement, forced sales at the shocked yield and the spread when cash runs short, and the loss on holders who stay. Every number comes from the caller. Not a price, a rating or advice.
- [tokenized_property](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/tokenized_property): Property token. Takes a pool of properties with debt: cap rate, debt service cover, LTV, NAV per token, distribution after debt service, reserves and fees. A shock grid of cap rate moves and vacancy, per property. Quarters to get a request through a gate, and the secondary discount that equals waiting. Every number comes from the caller. Not an appraisal, a price or advice.
- [commodity_token](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/commodity_token?spot_per_unit=2000&units_per_token=0.01&position_value=250000&storage_bps=35&insurance_bps=15&mint_fee_bps=25&redeem_fee_bps=25&min_redeem_units=400&delivery_cost=1500&market_premium_pct=1.25&cash_rate_pct=4&futures_carry_pct=5&holding_years=3&exit_discount_pct=1): Commodity token. Takes a token backed by a stored commodity: yearly drag from storage and insurance taken in units, value after the hold, the gap to a synthetic of rolled futures plus cash and the hold where they meet, the band set by mint and redeem fees and delivery cost at a size, and whether a position can redeem at all. Flat spot. Every number comes from the caller. Not a price or advice.
- [token_nav_gap](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/token_nav_gap): Token and NAV gap. Measures a token's premium or discount to NAV: mean, stdev, worst, share of days outside the mint and redeem band, AR(1) half-life, and how far NAV can drift unobserved between strikes. Compares exit through a constant-product pool with exit by redemption, and finds the size where they cross. Every number comes from the caller. Not a price, a quote or advice.
- [rwa_collateral](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/rwa_collateral?collateral_value=10000000&debt=7000000&liquidation_threshold_pct=80&liquidation_penalty_pct=5&asset_vol_pct=15&oracle_lag_hours=24&redemption_days=90&pool_cash_depth=30000000&pool_token_depth=300000&borrow_rate_pct=7&asset_yield_pct=9&buffer_sigmas=3): Token as collateral. Takes a loan against a token: health factor, fall to liquidation, that fall in stdevs over the oracle lag and the redemption time, the driftless chance of touching the line, a whole-position liquidation through a constant-product pool with slippage and bad debt, carry, the highest LTV for a buffer, and repeated borrowing. Every number comes from the caller. Not a price, a rating or advice.
- [long_short_book](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/long_short_book): Long-short book. Splits a long-short book into gross, net, factor exposures and each position's share of variance, adds hypothetical carry, and sizes the hedge that takes the first factor to zero. Weights, betas, vols and rates all come from the caller. It is arithmetic on those numbers, not an optimizer, a forecast or a trade idea.
- [factor_regress](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/factor_regress): Factor regression. Fits a return series on up to 6 factor series by least squares with an intercept: annualized intercept and its t-stat, betas with t-stats, R squared, adjusted R squared, residual vol and Durbin-Watson. Every return comes from the caller. It describes one sample of numbers. It doesn't test a strategy, adjust for data mining or say what comes next.
- [pairs_spread](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/pairs_spread): Pairs spread. Fits a log hedge ratio on the first part of two price series, tests the spread for pull-back to its mean, and walks the later part with those fit numbers and entry and exit z-scores, after costs. Prices come from the caller. It is a hypothetical walk through one sample, not a test of cointegration in any strict sense, a trade idea or a signal to follow.
- [merger_spread](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/merger_spread?deal_cash=20&deal_stock_ratio=0.5&acquirer_price=60&target_price=47&break_price=35&days_to_close=120&dividends_target=0.25&dividends_acquirer=0.4&financing_rate_pct=5&borrow_bps=50): Merger spread. Computes a deal's offer value, gross spread, simple and compounded annualized return, return net of financing, borrow and dividends, the completion probability the price implies, and the break-even probability after carry. Prices and terms come from the caller. It is arithmetic on those numbers, not a view on whether any deal closes.
- [trend_vol_target](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/trend_vol_target): Trend with a vol target. Walks a hypothetical trend book through the prices sent: sign of the trailing return, sized to a vol target, capped, with each day's weight set from prices through the day before, after turnover costs. Reports vol, mean, drawdown, hit rate, gross, turnover and each market's part. It is a hypothetical walk on the caller's numbers, not a record of trading, a forecast or a signal to follow.
- [risk_parity](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/risk_parity): Risk parity. Solves equal risk contribution weights for the vols and correlations sent, shows the leverage that reaches a vol target and what financing it costs, then moves every correlation up 0.3 with weights held and shows the new vol and the leverage cut. The vols and correlations come from the caller, and the 0.3 move is fixed. It is arithmetic on those estimates, not an allocation to follow and not a forecast.
- [rates_ladder](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/rates_ladder): Rates ladder. Prices a ladder of fixed coupon bonds from the yields sent: dirty and clean price, Macaulay and modified duration, convexity, DV01, a shock table of full repricing against the duration and convexity estimate, carry and roll-down over a horizon, and the parallel shift that takes the horizon return to zero. Yields come from the caller. It is arithmetic on those numbers, not a view on rates.
- [options_book](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/options_book): Options book. Prices a book of European options by Black-Scholes-Merton and gives value, delta, gamma, vega, theta and rho per leg and for the book, a full-reprice P and L grid across spot and vol shocks, the worst node against capital, and exact expiry break-evens. Every price, vol and rate comes from the caller. Not a quote, a margin figure or advice.
- [variance_carry](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/variance_carry?strike_vol_pct=20&vega_notional=10000&side=short&realized_vol_pct=26&capital=1000000): Variance carry. Computes the settlement P and L of a variance position from its strike and vega notional, with realized vol taken from the caller's prices or sent directly. Shows the convexity from half the strike to three times it, and how much faster a short loses than it earns. All numbers come from the caller. Not a quote, a forecast of vol or advice.
- [credit_carry](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/credit_carry): Credit carry. Turns each credit's spread and recovery into a hazard rate and a one-year default chance, then gives carry, spread DV01, jump to default, excess spread over a real-world default rate, a widening table and the break-even widening. All spreads and default rates come from the caller. Not a rating, a price or advice.
- [private_credit_tape](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/private_credit_tape): Private credit tape. Runs a loan tape through a one-factor Gaussian copula and a senior-first waterfall. Gives each tranche's expected loss, impairment chance, 99% tail loss and coupon cover, the pool loss distribution, and the junior size that puts the senior's impairment chance at 1%. Loans, rates and default rates come from the caller. Not a rating, an offering or advice.
- [basis_carry](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/basis_carry?instrument=perp&spot_price=1000&derivative_price=1002&funding_bps_per_8h=1&notional=1000000&short_leverage=4&maintenance_margin_pct=2&fees_bps_round_trip=12&borrow_rate_pct=8&financed_share_pct=50&collateral_haircut_pct=15&holding_days=90): Basis carry. Computes a long spot, short derivative position: annualized basis, net carry after fees and financing, the price rise that liquidates the short, extra margin needed at larger rises, and the funding where net carry is zero. Prices, funding and rates come from the caller. Funding can turn negative. Not a quote, a forecast or advice.
- [reserve_coverage](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/reserve_coverage): Reserve coverage. Tests a reserve against redemptions at par: coverage after haircuts, cash available by day against cumulative redemptions, the first shortfall day and the largest daily redemption rate with no shortfall, plus net income on the reserve yield. All balances and rates come from the caller. Not an audit, an attestation or advice.
- [fee_waterfall](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/fee_waterfall): Fee waterfall. Runs a series of gross returns through a management fee, a performance fee, a hurdle and a high-water mark, period by period. Shows net against gross, fees by kind, the mark and the drag. All numbers come from the caller. It is arithmetic on the terms sent, not a reading of any fund's documents and not a forecast.
- [redemption_gates](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/redemption_gates): Redemption gates. Walks a redemption request through notice, dealing dates and a gate against assets with their own days to cash and haircuts. Shows what is paid, sold and left on each date, and what the holders who stay end up with. All numbers come from the caller. It is arithmetic on a list of assets, not a liquidity opinion or a reading of any fund's terms.
- [book_risk](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/book_risk): Book risk. Takes a return series and gives annual vol, skew, kurtosis, historical VaR and expected shortfall, normal and Cornish-Fisher VaR, and the max drawdown with its length and recovery, in percent and money. All returns come from the caller. It describes the series sent. It is not a forecast of loss, and it says when too few observations sit behind a tail figure.
- [stress_book](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/stress_book): Stress the book. Applies shocks to equity, rates, spreads, vol, token discounts and FX across a book of weighted sleeves, using the sensitivities sent. Shows P and L by sleeve, factor and scenario, the worst scenario and what drove it. The sensitivities come from the caller. With no scenarios sent it uses generic shocks chosen for round numbers, not history. It is a first-order map, not a probability or a forecast.
- [size_position](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/size_position?nav=100000000&vol_pct=30&expected_return_pct=8&kelly_fraction=0.25&risk_budget_pct_nav=2&stop_pct=10&adv_value=5000000&max_participation_pct=15&days_to_build=5&impact_coeff=1): Position size limits. Shows what a Kelly fraction, a vol budget, a stop and a volume cap each allow for one position, with square-root impact and days to exit at each size. All numbers come from the caller. It states what each constraint allows on those numbers. It is not a size to take and not a view on the position.
- [deflated_sharpe](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/deflated_sharpe?sharpe_annual=1.8&periods_per_year=252&observations=1260&skew=-0.5&kurtosis=6&trials=100&trial_sharpe_std_annual=0.5&benchmark_sharpe_annual=0&confidence_pct=95): Deflated Sharpe. Tests a reported Sharpe against what the best of many trials would show by luck, with skew, kurtosis and sample length. Gives the probabilistic and deflated Sharpe, the minimum sample length and the trial count where it falls below the confidence. All numbers come from the caller. It measures selection only. It can't detect lookahead or fitting that was not counted.
- [run_book](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/run_book): Run a whole book. POST only. Runs every sleeve's model on its own numbers and adds them up: capital, gross, net, volatility from the caller's correlation, a 99% tail, sleeve tails added up, carry, a liquidity ladder, limit checks and the biggest source of risk. Says which figures came from models and which were assumed, and names any sleeve missing one. All numbers are the caller's. Not a forecast or advice.
- [book_starter](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/book_starter?kind=multi_desk): A starter book to run or edit. A complete made-up book and its short story, as JSON and as a HEDGEFUND.md file, that runs as it stands: multi_desk, tokenized_assets, trend_and_rates, credit_book, digital_assets. Every number is made up and resembles no real position. With no kind, it lists them. Change the numbers, then send it to run_book.
- [check_hedgefund_md](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/check_hedgefund_md): Check a HEDGEFUND.md. POST only. Reads a HEDGEFUND.md and runs every sleeve. Returns ok, errors and warnings with stable codes, and the id of the exact book when it reads: hf1_ and 24 hex. Warns on template numbers, missing figures, limits gone past and capital over 100. Nothing in the file is executed or stored. A clean check says the file can run, not that its numbers are right.
- [build_hedgefund_md](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/build_hedgefund_md): Write a book as HEDGEFUND.md. POST only. Turns a book into a HEDGEFUND.md file: frontmatter, limits, correlation and one section per sleeve, plus any prose you add. The text is read back before it is returned, so what it shows is what it runs. Returns the text, the book's id and what a check says of it. Nothing is stored.
- [check_order](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/check_order): Check one order against limits. POST only. Checks one proposed order against the limits sent, using the book's numbers as sent. Outcomes: over_limit, needs_a_yes, within_limits, no_limits_checked. Lists the limits checked and not checked, with the numbers each rests on. It checks only what it is told, and the caller could be wrong. It approves nothing, places nothing, and an empty check is never a pass.
- [build_settings](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/build_settings?preset=market_neutral): Write your settings into the skill. Turns a preset and settings into the sections written at the top of HEDGEFUND.md. Every setting is a number or a fixed choice; the catalog is at https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/settings. Returns the sections as Markdown, the settings as JSON, a link to the skill with them written in and a one-line install. Out-of-range numbers are clamped with a note. Nothing is stored. Settings an agent drafted count only after the person says yes: show them to the person first, and follow them only once they agree.
- [whats_new](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/whats_new?since=2026-10-01): What's new here, and what's next. What changed on hedgefund.md and when, what is being built, when to check back, and the other .md sites. Pass since (a date) to get only newer entries, for example the updated date of the skill you have. Reads a list kept with the code; fetches nothing and stores nothing.
- [Settings catalog](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1/settings): every setting with its unit, range, options and default, plus the presets
- [API index](https://hedgefund.md/api/v1) and [OpenAPI](https://hedgefund.md/openapi.json)
