parabolic-short-trade-planner

Screen US equities for parabolic exhaustion patterns and generate conditional pre-market short plans, then evaluate intraday trigger fires from live 5-min bars. Phase 1 daily 5-factor scorer (MA extension / acceleration / volume climax / range expansion / liquidity), Phase 2 per-candidate plans for ORL break / first-red 5-min / VWAP fail with explicit borrow / SSR / manual-confirmation gating, Phase 3 one-shot intraday FSM that detects trigger fires and resolves concrete share counts. Covers Phase 1 + Phase 2 + Phase 3.

Quality

Content

86%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 body is highly actionable and well-structured, with executable per-phase commands, verified one-level-deep references, and explicit replay/idempotency semantics; only minor tightening of dense field enumerations and explicit per-step validation gates would improve it further.

Suggestions

Add an explicit 'Validate' checkpoint after each phase (e.g. assert the expected output JSON exists and matches schema_version 1.0) to make per-step validation as crisp as the Phase 3 idempotency note.

Move the lengthy earnings-field and regulatory-date enumerations into a reference file, leaving the body with the two flag defaults and a pointer.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Largely efficient with executable commands and no basic-concept padding, though the earnings-field enumeration and the regulatory date prose could be tightened; not a level-5 lean body but comfortably above the midpoint.	4 / 5
Actionability	Copy-paste-ready commands for all three phases with concrete flags, output paths, account/risk parameters, and fixture fallbacks for API-free testing — fully executable.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A clearly sequenced three-phase pipeline with idempotency, fail-closed PIT behavior, and pinned test contracts; per-step validation checkpoints are present but somewhat implicit rather than explicit validate-then-proceed gates.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	A concise overview with a well-signaled Resources section pointing one level deep to five real reference files and supporting scripts/fixtures (all verified to exist), with detailed methodology correctly offloaded from the body.	5 / 5

Description

75%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.

The description is highly specific and distinctive with concrete multi-phase capabilities, but it lacks an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, leaving the invocation condition implicit and capping completeness.

Suggestions

Append a 'Use when ...' sentence naming the natural trigger phrases (e.g. building a parabolic short watchlist, generating pre-market short plans, or monitoring intraday short triggers).

Add a few novice-facing synonyms (e.g. 'short squeeze screener', 'exhaustion short setup') to broaden trigger-term coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions (screen, generate plans, evaluate intraday triggers) and enumerates 5 scoring factors, 3 trigger types, and explicit borrow/SSR/manual-confirmation gating — comprehensive coverage.	5 / 5
Completeness	A detailed 'what' across three phases is present, but there is no 'Use when...' clause or equivalent explicit trigger guidance — the 'when' is only weakly implied, which caps completeness at 3 per the rubric.	3 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Strong domain-natural terms ('parabolic short', 'short plans', '5-min bars', 'ORL break', 'VWAP fail') but a few common synonyms a novice trader might use (e.g. 'short squeeze', 'exhaustion screener') are absent.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (Qullamaggie-style parabolic short planning with a 3-phase FSM pipeline) with distinct triggers and minimal overlap risk against other screening skills.	5 / 5
