Quality

Content

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, domain-rich body with concrete thresholds, sector-aware guidance, data-source specifics, and a usable output template. Its consistent weakness is the last mile of executability and verification: snippets are formulas rather than runnable code, and the workflow lacks explicit validate-and-retry checkpoints.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is dense and efficient — metric tables, a yield-trap checklist, and an output template dominate, with little padding. Minor trimming opportunities exist: the CAGR/coverage formulas ('dividend_cagr = (dps_end / dps_start) ** (1 / years) - 1') restate math Claude already knows, and the Common Mistakes section partially overlaps the Yield-Trap Checklist.	4 / 5
Actionability	Concrete numeric thresholds (30-70% payout, 90%+ warning, below 70% FCF payout, 1.5x CFO coverage), specific data-source fields (Tushare 'dividend', 'daily_basic.dv_ttm'; yfinance 'Ticker.dividends'), and a ready output template make the guidance mostly executable. It falls short of 5 because the code snippets are bare formulas with undefined variables rather than copy-paste runnable examples, and no end-to-end worked example is included.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	The Analysis Workflow is a clearly sequenced 5-step process (Normalize -> Coverage -> Growth Quality -> Balance Sheet -> Total Return) with interpretation tiers ('Good / Watch / Avoid') and a yield-trap checklist acting as checkpoints. It misses the 5 anchor because there are no explicit validation-with-retry feedback loops (e.g., verify data availability before computing, re-check coverage after adjusting for special dividends).	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	No bundle files exist and the skill is a well-sectioned single file with clear headers (Purpose, Core Questions, Key Metrics, Workflow, Strategy Types, Data Sources, Output Template), so it is appropriately self-contained. It is not a 5 because the skill exceeds 50 lines and a couple of sections (sector-specific payout norms for REITs/MLPs/banks, strategy-type details) could be split into one-level-deep references to slim the main file.	4 / 5

Description

66%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description in third person that names the domain and several concrete sub-capabilities. Its main weakness is the absence of an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, which both caps completeness and slightly limits how reliably it matches natural user requests.

Suggestions

Append an explicit trigger clause, e.g., 'Use when the user asks about dividend stocks, dividend safety or payout sustainability, high-yield screening, ex-dividend dates, or building an income portfolio.'

Add natural synonym phrasing users commonly say, such as 'passive income', 'dividend safety', or 'payout ratio', to broaden trigger matching.

Consider naming the output users get (e.g., 'produces a sustainability verdict with yield-trap flags') to sharpen the 'what' further.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	The description lists several specific analysis actions — 'yield quality, payout sustainability, ex-dividend mechanics, and yield-trap checks' — alongside the named domain of dividend stock analysis. It stops short of the 5 anchor because these are analysis focus areas rather than a fully comprehensive inventory of concrete capabilities.	4 / 5
Completeness	The 'what' is clear (dividend stock analysis covering yield quality, payout sustainability, ex-dividend mechanics, and yield-trap checks), but there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance; the 'when' is only weakly implied by 'for income, dividend-growth, and shareholder-return strategies'. Per the rubric, a missing explicit 'when' caps completeness at 3.	3 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Natural terms users would say are present: 'dividend', 'dividend stock', 'income', 'dividend-growth', 'yield', 'payout', 'ex-dividend'. A few common variations are missing (e.g., 'passive income', 'dividend safety', 'payout ratio'), which keeps it below the comprehensive 5 anchor.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	'Dividend stock analysis' with yield/payout/ex-dividend terminology is a clear niche with distinct triggers and low conflict risk. It is not a 5 because it has minor overlap with general equity- or stock-screening skills that also mention yield and income.	4 / 5
