72%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
The body is lean and well-organized with a clear 6-step tool-chaining workflow and a self-contained structure that needs no external references. It loses points on actionability (the central carry-annualization formula is never stated and output tables use placeholders) and workflow clarity (no explicit validation checkpoints).
Suggestions
State the explicit formula for annualizing carry from forward points (e.g., carry = (spot - outright forward) / spot, annualized), since 'compute annualized carry' is referenced repeatedly but never defined.
Fill the Output Format tables with a worked example currency pair instead of '...' placeholders so the expected output is concrete and copy-paste ready.
Add an explicit validation checkpoint in the workflow, e.g., confirm the forward points and vol surface share the target tenor before computing carry-to-vol, or cross-check that the implied rate differential approximates the forward-implied carry.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The body is lean: terse tool descriptions and a tight 6-step workflow with no generic padding or library recommendations. The 'Core Principles' framing (carry-to-vol ratio, short-vol nature) is specialized domain knowledge, not concepts Claude already knows. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Tool routing is concrete (specific tool calls and extractions like 'extract ATM vol, 25-delta risk reversal, butterfly'), but 'compute annualized carry from forward points' is referenced repeatedly without the actual formula, and the output tables use '...' placeholders instead of a worked example. | 2 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The 6-step tool-chaining sequence is clearly ordered (spot → forward → curve → vol → historical → synthesize), but there are no explicit validation checkpoints or feedback loops, leaving checkpoints implicit rather than stated. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | A single self-contained SKILL.md (~46 lines) with well-organized sections (Core Principles, Available MCP Tools, Tool Chaining Workflow, Output Format) and no bundle files; the under-50-line rule grants a 3 for clear organization. | 3 / 3 |
