optimizing-defi-yields

Find and compare DeFi yield opportunities across protocols with APY calculations, risk assessment, and optimization recommendations. Use when searching for yield farming opportunities, comparing DeFi protocols, or analyzing APY/APR rates. Trigger with phrases like "find DeFi yields", "compare APY", "best yield farming", "optimize DeFi returns", "stablecoin yields", or "liquidity pool rates".

Content

72%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is highly actionable with executable commands and a clean progressive-disclosure structure pointing to real reference files. It loses points on conciseness (some concept re-explanation and inline padding) and workflow clarity (no explicit validation checkpoints despite a numbered sequence).

Suggestions

Drop the 'Understanding of DeFi concepts' prerequisites bullet and inline comments like '# 10000000 = 10M limit' and '# 2026 year' — they explain knowledge Claude already has or pad tokens without aiding action.

Add an explicit validation/feedback step to the workflow, e.g. 'If a query returns no pools, broaden --min-tvl or remove --risk/--audited-only filters and re-run', to give a concrete validate→adjust→retry loop.

Trim the large illustrative ASCII output tables to a minimal sample or move the full example layout into references/examples.md to reduce body token weight.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly efficient with concrete commands, but includes some unnecessary padding — the Prerequisites bullet "Understanding of DeFi concepts (APY, APR, TVL, impermanent loss)" explains concepts Claude already knows, and illustrative ASCII output plus inline comments like "# 10000000 = 10M limit" and "# 2026 year" add tokens without earning their place.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready commands with specific flags across search, filter, risk, analysis, and export tasks — matching the level 3 anchor for concrete executable guidance.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Steps are clearly numbered and sequenced (1–5), but there are no explicit validation/feedback checkpoints; the Error Handling section lists common issues and points to references without a validate→fix→retry loop, so it sits at level 2 rather than 3.	2 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	SKILL.md is a concise overview with well-signaled, one-level-deep references (errors.md, examples.md, implementation.md) via ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/, all verified to exist as real bundle files, matching the level 3 anchor.	3 / 3

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is specific, complete, and well-triggered with concrete natural-language phrases and an explicit 'Use when' clause. It clearly establishes a distinct DeFi-yield niche with minimal conflict risk.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — "Find and compare DeFi yield opportunities", "APY calculations, risk assessment, and optimization recommendations" — matching the multi-action anchor rather than the single-action level 2.	3 / 3
Completeness	Answers both what (yield comparison, APY, risk, optimization) and when via an explicit "Use when..." clause with concrete triggers, matching the level 3 anchor; not capped at 2 because the trigger guidance is present.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Explicit trigger phrases ("find DeFi yields", "compare APY", "best yield farming", "optimize DeFi returns", "stablecoin yields", "liquidity pool rates") cover natural terms a user would actually say, satisfying the level 3 anchor.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear DeFi-yield niche with distinct, domain-specific triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills, matching the level 3 anchor.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
