technical-analyst

This skill should be used when analyzing weekly price charts for stocks, stock indices, cryptocurrencies, or forex pairs. Use this skill when the user provides chart images and requests technical analysis, trend identification, support/resistance levels, scenario planning, or probability assessments based purely on chart data without consideration of news or fundamental factors.

Quality

Content

61%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 delivers a well-sequenced, highly actionable workflow with properly bundled, one-level-deep references. Its weaknesses are redundancy (duplicated principles and restated examples) and the absence of explicit verification checkpoints in the multi-chart batch workflow.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation step after report generation (e.g., 'Before saving, confirm scenario probabilities sum to 100% and all 10 template sections are populated') to satisfy the batch-operation checkpoint requirement in Step 6.

Trim the 'Example Usage Scenarios' section to one condensed example and remove the duplicated 'Core Principles' section, pointing to the framework reference instead, to cut token cost without losing guidance.

Consolidate the Steps 3.1-3.5 checklists into the framework reference (keeping only the step names in SKILL.md) so the body serves as a lean overview and the methodology lives in one place.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is structured and purposeful but noticeably redundant: 'Core Principles' duplicates the framework reference's principles, and the three 'Example Usage Scenarios' restate the workflow steps almost verbatim. It fits the 'mostly efficient but could be tightened' anchor rather than a 2 because no section explains background concepts Claude does not know.

3 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, executable guidance is present throughout: explicit 'Read: references/technical_analysis_framework.md' and 'Read and use as template: assets/analysis_template.md' commands, a scenario structure with required fields and probability bands (e.g., 'Base Case Scenario (40-60%)'), and a copy-paste file-naming convention with an example. It falls short of 5 because the per-step analysis criteria are deferred to the reference and some steps (e.g., handling ambiguity beyond 'express uncertainty clearly') leave minor gaps.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The six-step sequence is clearly ordered with an explicit no-batching rule ('Complete and save each report before moving to the next chart'), but the multi-chart workflow is a batch operation with no verification checkpoint — no step confirms probabilities sum to 100% or that all template sections are present before saving. Per the batch-operation guideline this caps workflow clarity at 3 even though the sequence itself is well defined.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Both bundle files (references/technical_analysis_framework.md, assets/analysis_template.md) exist, are referenced one level deep with explicit Read commands, and are catalogued in a Resources section — good structure overall. It is not a 5 because the body's Steps 3.1-3.5 checklists and Core Principles duplicate content in the framework reference rather than being cleanly split, a minor organization gap.

Description

92%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 description that clearly states capabilities, asset classes, and explicit trigger conditions in third-person voice. The only gap is a handful of missing natural synonyms (e.g., 'price action', 'chart patterns') that keeps trigger coverage just short of comprehensive.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description lists multiple concrete actions — 'technical analysis, trend identification, support/resistance levels, scenario planning, or probability assessments' — across named instruments ('stocks, stock indices, cryptocurrencies, or forex pairs'), matching the comprehensive-coverage anchor. It is not a 4 because no meaningful capability in the skill's scope is left unlisted.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both what ('analyzing weekly price charts... trend identification, support/resistance levels, scenario planning, or probability assessments') and when ('Use this skill when the user provides chart images and requests technical analysis...'), with concrete trigger phrasing, matching the top anchor. The boundary 'without consideration of news or fundamental factors' further scopes the when-clause.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases users would say are well covered ('weekly price charts', 'chart images', 'technical analysis', 'support/resistance levels', 'cryptocurrencies', 'forex pairs'), but a few common variations such as 'price action', 'chart patterns', or 'candlestick' are missing, which fits the good-coverage-with-gaps anchor rather than the comprehensive synonym coverage of a 5.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It occupies a clear niche — chart-image-only weekly technical analysis with probabilistic scenarios — with distinct triggers, so conflict risk with other skills is minimal. It is not a 4 because the chart-image trigger and pure-technical framing make it unlikely to fire for fundamental-analysis or general finance skills.
