Track investment theses across their lifecycle — from screening idea to closed position with postmortem. Register theses from screener outputs, manage state transitions, attach position sizing, review due dates, and generate postmortem reports with P&L and MAE/MFE analysis. Trigger when user says "register thesis", "track this idea", "thesis status", "review due", "close position", "postmortem", or "trading journal".

Quality

Content

82%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 strong, highly actionable body with concrete commands throughout and validation embedded in the tooling. It loses a little on conciseness (length and rationale prose) and progressive disclosure (two non-bundle resource links, inlined detail).

Suggestions

Tighten the prerequisites/CLI-launcher troubleshooting prose and the futures re-attach rationale to the essential one-liners; the operational commands already carry the signal.

Either move schemas/thesis.schema.json into the skill bundle or relabel it as a repo-relative path, and verify the ../../examples/workflows/... sample-run link resolves from the skill's location.

Consider splitting the long Futures positions subsection (contracts/multiplier/direction, P&L formula, attach guards) into a references/futures_positions.md so the main workflow stays a concise overview.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Largely lean and assumes Claude's competence, but the ~345-line body carries some prose that could be trimmed — the uv-routing troubleshooting block and the multi-paragraph rationale for why futures re-attach is stricter — pushing it just below the lean-anchor 5.	4 / 5
Actionability	Dense with copy-paste-ready bash commands, concrete subcommands and flags, a full manual-ingest JSON example, and Python function signatures covering the common register/query/update/review/postmortem cases.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Five clearly sequenced phases each with concrete commands, and validation is baked into the tooling (schema validation on save, fail-closed ingest, atomic writes, status invariants); it stops short of explicit validate-then-proceed checkpoints in the lifecycle flow, leaving a minor gap below anchor 5.	4 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Well-organized into Overview/When-to-Use/Prerequisites/Workflow/Output Format/Resources with one-level-deep references (thesis_lifecycle.md, field_mapping.md both present), but two Resources links point outside the bundle (schemas/thesis.schema.json and the ../../examples path) and a fair amount of operational detail is inlined rather than split out.	4 / 5

Description

100%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.

An exemplar description: it states a concrete capability set, gives an explicit trigger clause with natural user phrasing, and carves out a distinct niche with minimal conflict risk. No vague fluff or over-claims.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions — "register theses from screener outputs", "manage state transitions", "attach position sizing", "review due dates", "generate postmortem reports with P&L and MAE/MFE analysis" — giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's capabilities.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what (track theses across their lifecycle, register, transition, size, review, postmortem) and when ("Trigger when user says ..."), with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Provides comprehensive natural trigger phrases a user would actually say ("register thesis", "track this idea", "thesis status", "review due", "close position", "postmortem", "trading journal"), including synonyms like "trading journal"/"thesis status".	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche (investment-thesis lifecycle / trading journal) with distinctive triggers like "register thesis" and "track this idea" that are unlikely to fire for the surrounding screener/position-sizer skills.	5 / 5
	Total	20 / 20 Passed
