Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A compact, highly actionable skill body with an executable command, explicit output-contract validation, and clean section structure appropriate for its size. The only trim opportunity is a dense policy sentence that slightly compresses several data-quality requirements into one clause.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence with no concept-explanation padding, but the dense data-quality policy sentence ("The client accepts results only when the response currency matches the request and data_quality confirms an official, current, non-proxy, non-fallback, timestamp-complete, point-in-time-safe source...") is a minor instance of over-density that could be tightened, placing it above the 3 anchor but short of the 5 anchor's every-token-earns-its-place standard.	4 / 5
Actionability	It provides a fully executable copy-paste command ("python3 skills/fxmacrodata-calendar/scripts/fetch_calendar.py --currency usd --min-tier 1") plus concrete output shape, env var, canonical endpoint, and accepted flag values, matching the 5 anchor for copy-paste-ready guidance covering the common case.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clear 3-step sequence includes an explicit validation checkpoint ("Treat a nonzero exit as an unverified event-risk state... Only a successful response containing events: [] establishes that no matching events were returned") plus data_quality/currency-match verification and error-state handling, matching the 5 anchor; the destructive/batch cap does not apply because validation is present.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	At ~45 lines, single-purpose, with well-organized Workflow and Authentication sections and a script path that resolves to a real bundle file (scripts/fetch_calendar.py), this meets the under-50-line simple-skill allowance for a 5 with clear organization and no nested references.	5 / 5

Description

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

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

A precise, well-scoped description that pairs a concrete fetch action with an explicit, trigger-rich use-when clause, giving it strong completeness and distinctiveness. The main gap is that it expresses one action rather than a broader action set, which limits specificity and trigger-term breadth slightly.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	It names a concrete domain (FXMacroData macro release-calendar) with one core action ("Fetch official FXMacroData macro release-calendar events") but offers only that single fetch action rather than several specific actions, fitting the 3 anchor (1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive) and falling short of the 4 anchor's "several specific actions".	3 / 5
Completeness	It explicitly answers both what ("Fetch official FXMacroData macro release-calendar events") and when ("Use before CPI, NFP, GDP, PCE, retail sales, PMI, and central-bank decision windows") with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor; it is not the 4 anchor because the when-clause is fully explicit with named triggers rather than merely adequate.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Strong natural-term coverage via the enumerated release names ("CPI, NFP, GDP, PCE, retail sales, PMI, and central-bank decision windows") plus "trade planning" and "event-risk filters", but it lacks synonym/extension variants and omits a few common terms (e.g., "FOMC", "economic calendar"), so it sits above the 3 anchor but below the 5 anchor's comprehensive synonym coverage.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The FXMacroData release-calendar niche with named macro-event triggers is clearly distinct and unlikely to fire for an unrelated skill, matching the 5 anchor for a clear niche with minimal conflict risk.	5 / 5
