TradingAgents Packet Flow
Clarifying a research-to-decision workflow by turning analysis into a durable packet boundary.
2026 · Product direction, workflow design, implementation
Outcomes
- Defined a cleaner packet contract between research generation and downstream decision work.
- Reduced ambiguity around ownership of artifacts and handoff surfaces.
- Kept the implementation repo-specific instead of leaking reusable harness logic.
Stack
- Python
- CLI workflows
- Agent orchestration
This work was about creating a boundary strong enough to survive automation pressure.
The problem was not only technical. It was editorial. If a workflow produces insight but packages it weakly, the next stage still has to reinterpret the work. That introduces drift.
The fix was to treat the packet as a first-class product surface: explicit fields, predictable outputs, and enough structure to make the next action obvious.
