# Abel Invest Alpha Search
Use this skill for:
- alpha search and candidate screening
- continuing an existing Abel strategy discovery workspace
- creating sessions and branches
- preparing, debugging, recording, and reviewing strategy rounds
- interpreting `evidence_ledger.json`, `frontier.md`, `agent_context.md`, and
`exploration_path.md`
## Activation Checklist
Always start by resolving workspace state before strategy work.
1. Read `references/workspace-bootstrap.md`.
2. Resolve the workspace context:
- if `alpha.workspace.yaml` is in the current directory, use the current
directory
- else if `abel-invest-workspace/alpha.workspace.yaml` exists
under the current directory, use that child workspace
- else bootstrap a workspace before deep strategy work
3. Prefer `abel-invest workspace context --path . --json` once a CLI is
available. If `abel-invest` is not on PATH and an existing workspace has a
venv, use `<workspace-root>/.venv/bin/abel-invest workspace context --path . --json`
for this first context check. Use the returned `workspace_root`,
`research_root`, and `command_prefix` instead of guessing from directory
names or assuming a global PATH.
4. Baseline-first: before from-scratch search, check whether a validated
strategy for this target already exists in any baseline / strategy catalog
the user maintains. If one exists, treat it as a benchmark and launchpad;
iterate from it when useful rather than wasting rounds redisc
