87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured, actionable analysis skill with concise tool routing and a clearly sequenced workflow. The main gap is the absence of explicit validation checkpoints and error-recovery feedback loops in the workflow.
Suggestions
Add explicit validation/sanity-check steps — e.g., confirm the CTD returned by bond_future_price is successfully priced by bond_price, and verify implied repo values fall within plausible market bounds before assigning a Rich/Fair/Cheap assessment.
Include error-recovery guidance for tool failures (e.g., what to do if bond_price returns no data for the CTD, or if the interest_rate_curve list step fails) so the workflow has a feedback loop rather than an implicit happy path.
Give the optional credit_curve step (step 6) a clear decision checkpoint noting when sovereign credit context materially changes the basis assessment, so the optional branch has an explicit gate.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean with no basic-concept padding — it jumps straight to tool capabilities, a numbered workflow, and compact output tables, with the 'Core Principles' paragraph providing routing logic rather than filler. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Names exact MCP tools, specifies inputs ('Call bond_future_price with the contract RIC'), the fields to extract at each step, and concrete output tables — fully actionable instruction-style guidance with no pseudocode gaps. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 6-step sequence is clearly ordered with explicit data chaining (CTD from step 1 feeds step 2), but there are no explicit validation checkpoints or error-recovery feedback loops; checkpoints like the implied-repo comparison are only implicit. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single self-contained file (~60 lines) with well-organized sections and no external bundle files or nested references; per the simple-skill note, clean organization without external references warrants a 3. | 3 / 3 |
