scanner-pmccScan stocks for Poor Man's Covered Call (PMCC) suitability. An agent skill from staskh/trading_skills.
Scanner Pmcc is an agent skill from staskh/trading_skills. Scan stocks for Poor Man's Covered Call (PMCC) suitability. Analyzes LEAPS and short call options for delta, liquidity, spread, IV, yield, trend direction, and earnings proximity. Use when user asks about PMCC candidates, diagonal spreads, or LEAPS strategies.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/scan.py` and `templates/markdown-template.md`).
It sits in Business, Finance & HR. The repository describes itself as: Claude powered advisor system for option traders. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b71a74f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Scanner Pmcc loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 823 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

This applies to both compute_atm_iv (used for scanner baseline IV) and per-option delta calculations.
Dividends: the Black-Scholes inversion uses the underlying's continuous dividend
yield (Merton model). Ignoring it biases recovered IV downward for calls on dividend
payers — badly for high yielders (e.g. a 7%-yield name would read ~12% IV instead of
~24%). The yield is normalized from yfinance's inconsistent fields (dividendRate/price,
then trailingAnnualDividendYield, then dividendYield) and reported as dividend_yield
(a fraction) in each result. The same yield feeds the strike-selection deltas and the
max-profit repricing.
max_possible_score is always 14 — use pmcc_score / max_possible_score to gauge how close a candidate is to perfectspread_pct is forced to 100%, which zeroes out both spread scores (−2 vs a live scan). A candidate can look up to 2 points worse simply because it was scanned off-hours.

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add staskh/trading_skills --skill scanner-pmcc -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/scanner-pmcc, .gemini/skills/scanner-pmcc, .github/skills/scanner-pmcc and .opencode/skills/scanner-pmcc in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Scanner Pmcc needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Scanner Pmcc is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
