61%Weight 40%Scale 1-5Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is well-structured and concise with concrete parameters and ready-to-use config examples, but the trading logic is given as formulas rather than executable code and the workflow lacks explicit validation checkpoints for the batch trade-generation step.
Suggestions
Provide an executable Python code block implementing the signal logic (rolling mean/std, Z-score, entry/exit signals) so the core is copy-paste ready.
Add an explicit validation checkpoint in the workflow, e.g. 'Verify the two instruments' date indexes are inner-joined and the lookback window is filled before generating signals; fill NaN signals with 0.'
Move the dual config examples into a brief 'Examples' subsection or reference file to keep the main body tighter and push progressive disclosure toward 5.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean — formulas, a parameter table, two config examples, and pitfalls with no padded library/concept explanations — with only minor restating in the Purpose section, fitting 'efficient; minor instances that could be trimmed' rather than the perfectly lean 5. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | It gives precise formulas, thresholds, a parameter table, and copy-paste-ready config.json blocks, but the core signal logic is expressed as formulas/pseudocode ('ratio = close_A / close_B', 'z = (ratio - mean) / std') rather than executable Python code, matching 'pseudocode instead of executable code'. | 3 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | Signal Logic is a clear numbered sequence (ratio -> rolling mean/std -> z-score -> signals), but there are no explicit validation checkpoints; since signal generation drives trade placement (a batch operation), the missing feedback-loop cap holds this at 3. | 3 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill is self-contained with well-labeled sections (Purpose, Signal Logic, Parameters, Pitfalls, etc.) and no nested references, but the body slightly exceeds the ~50-line simple-skill threshold, so it lands at 'good structure' rather than the maximal 5. | 4 / 5 |
