Quantcoder Plugin
Use QuantCoder from Claude Code to turn quantitative research papers into QuantConnect LEAN algorithm drafts, lint them, and optionally validate/backtest through QuantConnect.
Compatibility: Not stated.
Grade B
Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.
Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.
Rescanned at commit 24c250d257ef, unchanged since the check below.
INSTALL_UNPINNED NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED SECRETS_ENV_READ
Why this grade
- INSTALL_UNPINNED Low
Dependencies use a range or git URL with no lockfile.
requirements.txt, line 5
click>=8.1.0 - NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low
Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.
quantcoder/logging_config.py, line 98
requests.post( - SECRETS_PATH_DOTENV Low
Mentions a .env file.
quantcoder/chat.py, line 378
Set credentials in ~/.quantcoder/.env: - PERMISSION_SHELL_DECLARED Note
Runs shell commands, and the manifest or description says so.
quantcoder/chat.py, line 415
subprocess.run(cmd, check=False) - SECRETS_ENV_READ Note
Reads an environment variable whose name contains KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, PASSWORD or CREDENTIAL.
quantcoder/cli.py, line 333
notion_key = os.getenv('NOTION_API_KEY')
Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.
Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
