sector-analyst

This skill should be used when analyzing sector and industry performance charts to assess market positioning and rotation patterns. Use this skill when the user provides performance chart images (1-week or 1-month timeframes) for sectors or industries and requests market cycle assessment, sector rotation analysis, or strategic positioning recommendations based on performance data. All analysis and output are conducted in English.

Content

85%

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 a clear sequenced workflow and excellent progressive disclosure via real, well-signaled bundle files. Its main weakness is conciseness, as it retains general analytic principles and a verbose output template that Claude largely already knows.

Suggestions

Trim or remove the 'Key Analysis Principles' section, which restates general analytic discipline Claude already applies (e.g. 'Objectivity First', 'No Absolutes'); keep only sector-rotation-specific guidance.

Replace the fully expanded output Markdown template with a compact skeleton or move it into a references file, keeping only the required-section list inline in SKILL.md.

Drop the 'Probability Guidelines' ranges unless they differ from the framework in sector_rotation.md, to avoid duplicating the referenced knowledge base inline.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is efficient in core sections but pads with material Claude already knows, e.g. the 'Key Analysis Principles' list ('Objectivity First', 'No Absolutes', 'Historical Context') and a fully expanded output template, placing it at mostly efficient with some unnecessary explanation.	2 / 3
Actionability	Provides fully executable commands ('python3 scripts/analyze_sector_rotation.py --json', '--save --output-dir reports/'), a concrete 5-step workflow, and a copy-paste-ready output template referencing real files.	3 / 3
Workflow Clarity	Five clearly sequenced steps with an explicit freshness-check checkpoint ('If a data freshness warning appears, note it'); the analysis is read-only (no destructive/batch ops), so the feedback-loop cap does not apply.	3 / 3
Progressive Disclosure	SKILL.md is an overview that offloads the knowledge base to references/sector_rotation.md, the script to scripts/, and sample charts to assets/; all referenced paths are real files, one level deep, clearly signaled in a Resources section.	3 / 3

Description

100%

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, trigger-rich, and answers both what and when with a clear third-person voice and explicit use-when guidance. It is a strong, low-conflict description whose only minor weakness is the slightly mechanical 'This skill should be used' phrasing and a tangential English-only closing clause.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions such as 'fetches sector uptrend data from CSV', 'cyclical vs defensive assessment', 'overbought/oversold identification', and 'market cycle phase estimation', matching the anchor for multiple specific concrete actions.	3 / 3
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what (fetches/ranks/scores/identifies/estimates) and when via 'Use this skill when the user requests...', which is the anchor for clearly answering both what AND when with explicit triggers.	3 / 3
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural user-facing terms like 'sector rotation analysis', 'cyclical vs defensive', 'overbought/oversold', and 'market cycle phase estimation' that a requester would actually say.	3 / 3
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The sector rotation / market cycle niche has distinct triggers and is unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; it is clearly distinguishable from other skills.	3 / 3
	Total	12 / 12 Passed
