75%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.
A focused, well-organized instruction skill with a concrete tool-chaining workflow and explicit output templates that assumes Claude's domain competence without padding. It lacks executable code samples and explicit validation checkpoints, and offers no external reference files, which keeps several dimensions at a strong-but-not-perfect 4.
Suggestions
Add one or two short example invocations of an MCP tool (e.g., a representative qa_macroeconomic or interest_rate_curve call with inputs and expected output shape) to lift actionability from instructive to copy-paste-ready.
Insert a light validation/sanity checkpoint in the workflow (e.g., confirm series frequency matches before computing slopes, or flag when breakeven exceeds nominal yield) to add feedback-loop structure without overhead.
Move the wildcard search-pattern reference and the four output table templates into a references/ file and link to it, so SKILL.md stays a lean overview and progressive disclosure reaches one-level-deep navigation.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and well-organized with no conceptual padding (no explanation of what a yield curve is); a few introductory sentences in the opening and Core Principles section could be tightened, but every section earns its place. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete tool-by-tool chaining with named MCP tools, specific tenors (2s10s, 3M-10Y), wildcard search patterns, and an explicit output template with table schemas; falls short of fully copy-paste-ready executable code because the MCP calls are described rather than shown as invocations. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear six-step numbered sequence (pull macro -> curve -> inflation -> swaps -> historical -> synthesize) with each step's inputs, computations, and outputs specified; missing explicit validation checkpoints, but this is a read-only analysis workflow with no destructive or batch operations, so no cap applies. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-structured with logical section headers and a self-contained overview of tools and outputs; no bundle files exist to offload detail, and a few sections (search patterns, output tables) are inlined rather than split out, leaving minor organization gaps. | 4 / 5 |
