Quality

Content

71%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.

The content is highly actionable with executable code and a clear 9-step workflow, but it is far too verbose for SKILL.md — duplicating the bundled script's implementations inline — and advertises reference/script files that do not yet exist, undermining progressive disclosure.

Suggestions

Move the inline Black-Scholes formula, Greeks Python implementations, and the ASCII P/L-diagram function out of SKILL.md into the existing references/black_scholes_methodology.md and scripts/black_scholes.py, keeping only invocation examples and a short overview in SKILL.md.

Add explicit validation checkpoints to the Analysis Workflow (e.g., 'Confirm fetched price is current', 'Verify Greeks sum correctly across legs') so each step gates the next.

Remove or actually create the '(future)' references (strategies_guide.md, greeks_explained.md, volatility_guide.md) and scripts (strategy_analyzer.py, earnings_strategy.py) so the Resources section points only to real bundle files.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The ~990-line body extensively explains Black-Scholes formulas, Greeks definitions, and strategy mechanics Claude already knows, and inlines full Python implementations plus an ASCII-diagram function that duplicates the bundled script — efficient core guidance buried in padded reference material.	3 / 5
Actionability	Provides copy-paste-ready code blocks for Black-Scholes pricing, all Greeks, P/L simulation, and the FMP CLI invocations ('python3 scripts/black_scholes.py --ticker AAPL --api-key $FMP_API_KEY') covering the common cases fully.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Analysis Workflow is cleanly sequenced across 9 numbered steps with explicit input gathering and a report template; however the workflow lacks explicit validation/verification checkpoints (e.g., 'validate prices against quotes before proceeding'), so it sits just below the top anchor rather than at 5.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Structure exists and references are clearly listed in Resources, but the body inlines hundreds of lines of formula/Python/API detail that belongs in the reference files, and three of four listed references and two of three scripts are marked '(future)' and do not exist in the bundle.	3 / 5

Description

96%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 strong, well-targeted description that clearly states capabilities and explicit trigger conditions in third person. Minor overlap risk with general risk-management or volatility skills keeps distinctiveness just below the top anchor.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — 'theoretical pricing using Black-Scholes model, Greeks calculation, strategy P/L simulation, and risk management guidance' plus 'volatility analysis, position sizing' — giving comprehensive coverage of what the skill does.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what (Black-Scholes pricing, Greeks, P/L simulation, risk management) and when ('Use when user requests options strategy analysis, covered calls...') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Comprehensive natural trigger terms including user-facing phrases ('covered calls, protective puts, spreads, iron condors, earnings plays') and synonyms ('options strategy analysis, options risk management'); matches the top anchor.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear options-trading niche with distinct triggers ('covered calls, iron condors, earnings plays'), but 'volatility analysis' and 'risk management' overlap modestly with adjacent finance skills, leaving minor conflict risk.	4 / 5
