research-finance

Use when managing the money for an internal R&D program or portfolio — building a multi-period program budget with the F&A (indirect) split, tracking burn rate and runway against value-inflection milestones, or routing R&D cost items to a capitalize-vs-expense determination. Every budget output surfaces its assumptions block; capitalize-vs-expense is decision-support only and routes to a named finance owner — it never books an entry or decides accounting treatment. Distinct from finance/financial-analysis (corporate DCF, close, valuation) and research/grants (funding discovery — this manages money already won).

Content

86%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-organized, highly actionable skill body with concrete commands, a clear workflow, and properly split one-level-deep references that all resolve. It is held back from a perfect conciseness score by repeated distinctiveness framing and lacks an explicit validation checkpoint in the workflow.

Suggestions

Consolidate the distinctiveness messaging — pick one home for it (the Distinct-from table or Anti-patterns) and drop the duplicated framing elsewhere to tighten the body.

Add an explicit validation checkpoint to the Workflow, e.g. after building the budget, confirm the assumptions block and F&A rate provenance before tracking burn/routing treatment.

In the forcing-question library, the closing line restates the tool invocation order already covered in Workflow — consider trimming to avoid re-statement.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense but largely lean — it does not re-explain basics Claude already knows, and each section earns its place. The main trim candidate is redundancy: the 'Distinct from' framing is restated in the description, the Distinct-from table, and the Anti-patterns section.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready commands with concrete flags and profiles (e.g. 'program_budget_planner.py --input program.json --profile {pharma-rd|...} --fa-rate <negotiated rate>', '--sample', '--output {human,json}') and a Quick examples block covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 5-step numbered workflow (lay out program → build budget → track burn/runway → route treatment → assemble review) each with its concrete command. It lacks an explicit validate-and-verify checkpoint, though the tools are non-destructive decision-support so the destructive-cap does not apply.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-structured overview with one-level-deep, clearly signaled references (canon, burn/portfolio, indirect-rate-modeling) and bundled scripts/assets, each annotated with a one-line purpose; all referenced paths resolve to real bundle files.

Description

92%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 that names three concrete capabilities, opens with an explicit 'Use when' trigger, and proactively distinguishes itself from neighboring finance and grants skills. Trigger-term coverage is the only minor gap, leaning on domain jargon over some colloquial phrasings.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'building a multi-period program budget with the F&A (indirect) split', 'tracking burn rate and runway against value-inflection milestones', 'routing R&D cost items to a capitalize-vs-expense determination' — with comprehensive coverage of the skill's three capabilities.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (three named capabilities) and when ('Use when managing the money for an internal R&D program or portfolio — building..., tracking..., or routing...') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Strong natural keywords for the specialist audience ('R&D program', 'budget', 'burn rate', 'runway', 'capitalize-vs-expense', 'F&A/indirect'), but a few common user phrasings like 'research budget' or 'spend' are absent, keeping it just below comprehensive.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Carves a clear R&D-program-finance niche and explicitly distinguishes from 'finance/financial-analysis (corporate DCF, close, valuation)' and 'research/grants (funding discovery — this manages money already won)', minimizing conflict risk.
