uptrend-analyzer

Analyzes market breadth using Monty's Uptrend Ratio Dashboard data to diagnose the current market environment. Generates a 0-100 composite score from 5 components (breadth, sector participation, rotation, momentum, historical context). Use when asking about market breadth, uptrend ratios, or whether the market environment supports equity exposure. No API key required.

Quality

Content

68%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.

Well-structured and actionable content with good progressive disclosure and a genuine reference file. The main weakness is the workflow's lack of validation checkpoints for the remote-data fetch and report generation steps.

Suggestions

Add an explicit validation step after Phase 1 (e.g., confirm the CSV downloaded and the JSON/Markdown report files exist before moving to Phase 2), plus error-recovery guidance if the download fails.

Consolidate the Scoring Zones and 7-Level Zone Detail tables, or move the finer sub-zone breakdown into references/uptrend_methodology.md to reduce duplication.

Move detailed smoothing mechanics (EMA(3), 10v10 acceleration window) into references/uptrend_methodology.md and keep SKILL.md to the high-level scoring summary.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Lean body using tables and bullets that assumes Claude's competence and avoids explaining basics, though the 7-Level Zone Detail table partially duplicates the Scoring Zones table and could be trimmed.	4 / 5
Actionability	Provides a copy-paste executable command (`python3 skills/uptrend-analyzer/scripts/uptrend_analyzer.py`), specific output filenames, and explicit component weights and zone thresholds, with only minor gaps like an example invocation or sample output preview.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Two phases are sequenced (execute script, present results), but the fetch-then-score workflow lacks validation checkpoints such as verifying the CSV download succeeded or confirming the report file exists before presenting results.	3 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	Clear overview with a real one-level-deep reference (references/uptrend_methodology.md, confirmed present) that is explicitly signaled with load-time guidance; minor gaps where some methodology detail (EMA smoothing, acceleration windows) is inlined rather than deferred to the reference.	4 / 5

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, specific description that clearly states capabilities and use triggers with a distinct niche. Adding synonyms like 'how broad is the rally' or 'market participation' would round out trigger-term coverage.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Names the domain and multiple concrete actions ('Analyzes market breadth', 'diagnose the current market environment', 'Generates a 0-100 composite score from 5 components'), comprehensively enumerating breadth, sector participation, rotation, momentum, and historical context.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what (analyzes breadth, generates composite score from 5 components) and when ('Use when asking about market breadth, uptrend ratios, or whether the market environment supports equity exposure') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Includes natural user phrases ('market breadth', 'uptrend ratios', 'whether the market environment supports equity exposure'), but misses common synonyms like 'how broad is the rally' or 'market participation'.	4 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Occupies a clear niche tied to Monty's Uptrend Ratio Dashboard and breadth participation, with distinct triggers and an explicit 'No API key required' differentiator that minimizes conflict with adjacent market skills.	5 / 5
	Total	19 / 20 Passed
