Reusable context

Strategies, Investment Brains, and Investor Context make a workspace more consistent over time. They guide different parts of the work and cannot replace one another.

Three different kinds of context #

Layer	What it guides	What it never owns
Strategy	Explicit decision rules such as eligibility, entry/exit, sizing, and risk rules.	Broker authority, order approval, or execution.
Investment Brain	High-freedom inquiry: questions, causal frames, hypotheses, interpretations, falsifiers, and abstention heuristics.	Role selection, tools, workflow, memory, policy, approval, or execution.
Investor Context	Optional workspace-local suitability constraints: objective, horizon, liquidity, loss capacity, concentration, tax, and account constraints.	A product profile, secret store, or authority grant.

Current authenticated evidence controls factual claims. Core safety and provenance remain blocking, and suitability gaps remain visible even when a Strategy suggests a different action.

Context is sealed per run #

When a run explicitly selects a Strategy or Investment Brain, the validated version is bound to that run. The optional Investor Context follows the workspace’s saved application default. This keeps the eventual synthesis traceable to the context that actually shaped the work.

Use the exact $strategy-* or $investment-brain-* token, or its matching projected workspace skill link. Repeated references to the same id count once; distinct multiple ids are rejected. An active context cannot be silently replaced halfway through a run, and plain-language mention is not a selection mechanism.

Create context deliberately #

Use the dedicated skills for the job. Strategy and Brain authoring each starts in a new native trading-research task with its own matching first-meaningful-line invocation; neither uses $tcx-build. Investor Context is interviewed and previewed in Codex, then its persistent update is handed to an explicit user-terminal command.

Resolve conflicts by authority #

Core safety and provenance remain non-replaceable.
Investor Context blocks an unsuitable Strategy until the gap is resolved.
Strategy governs an explicit decision rule.
Current authenticated evidence controls facts when it conflicts with a Strategy or Brain.
Decision Memory supplies chronology- and regime-aware support or counterexamples without automatically overriding any of the above.
