82%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 well-organized, concise, and largely actionable skill body for an instruction-only, MCP-driven workflow. Weakest on validation checkpoints and the unstated realized-vol computation formula.
Suggestions
Add a one-line formula or method for close-to-close realized vol (e.g. annualized stdev of log returns) so step 5 is fully executable.
Insert an explicit validation checkpoint after the vol-surface and option_value calls (e.g. confirm returned expiries/strikes; retry option_value with a template-discovered strike on failure).
Consider moving the three output-format tables into a references/ template file to keep SKILL.md as a leaner overview and enable progressive disclosure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean body that assumes Claude's competence: terse tool list with exact inputs/outputs, a tight numbered workflow, and compact output tables, with no padding about what options or volatility are. | 5 / 5 |
Actionability | Highly concrete guidance with exact tool names, inputs (e.g. '.SPX@RIC', 'EURUSD'), outputs, and explicit window-to-tenor mappings, but lacks copy-paste code and leaves the close-to-close realized-vol formula unspecified. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | A clear 6-step sequenced workflow with named tool calls per step and structured output, but no explicit validation/retry checkpoints for the multi-tool chain. | 4 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | Single self-contained file with well-headed sections and no nested references; slightly over the simple-skill line count with bulky inline output tables that could justify a separate reference, though no bundle files exist. | 4 / 5 |
