What it does

Data Quality Checker is an agent skill from tradermonty/claude-trading-skills. Validate data quality in market analysis documents and blog articles before publication. Use when checking for price scale inconsistencies (ETF vs futures), instrument notation errors, date/day-of-week mismatches, allocation total errors, and unit mismatches. Supports English and Japanese content. Advisory mode -- flags issues as warnings for human review, not as blockers.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/common_data_errors.md`, `references/instrument_notation_standard.md` and `scripts/check_data_quality.py`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data cleaning, Market research and Stock and market analysis. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for equity investors and traders — market analysis, technical charting, economic calendars, screeners, and trading strategy development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Checking for price scale inconsistencies (ETF vs futures)
  • Instrument notation errors
  • Date/day-of-week mismatches
  • Allocation total errors

Example prompts

  • “/data-quality-checker”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Receive Input Document
  2. Execute Validation Script
  3. Load Reference Standards
  4. Review Findings
  5. Generate Quality Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eab8d5c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Data Quality Checker loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

description
Validate data quality in market analysis documents and blog articles before publication. Use when checking for price scale inconsistencies (ETF vs futures), instrument notation errors, date/day-of-week mismatches, allocation total errors, and unit mismatches. Supports English and Japanese content. Advisory mode -- flags issues as warnings for human review, not as blockers.

Overview

Detect common data quality issues in market analysis documents before publication. The checker validates five categories: price scale consistency, instrument notation, date/weekday accuracy, allocation totals, and unit usage. All findings are advisory -- they flag potential issues for human review rather than blocking publication.

When to Use

  • Before publishing a weekly strategy blog or market analysis report
  • After generating automated market summaries
  • When reviewing translated documents (English/Japanese) for data accuracy
  • When combining data from multiple sources (FRED, FMP, FINVIZ) into one report
  • As a pre-flight check for any document containing financial data

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9+
  • No external API keys required
  • No third-party Python packages required (uses only standard library)

Workflow

Step 1: Receive Input Document

Accept the target markdown file path and optional parameters:

  • --file: Path to the markdown document to validate (required)
  • --checks: Comma-separated list of checks to run (optional; default: all)
  • --as-of: Reference date for year inference in YYYY-MM-DD format (optional)
  • --output-dir: Directory for report output (optional; default: reports/)
Step 2: Execute Validation Script

Run the data quality checker script:

bash
python3 skills/data-quality-checker/scripts/check_data_quality.py \
  --file path/to/document.md \
  --output-dir reports/

To run specific checks only:

bash
python3 skills/data-quality-checker/scripts/check_data_quality.py \
  --file path/to/document.md \
  --checks price_scale,dates,allocations

To provide a reference date for year inference (useful for documents without explicit year in dates):

bash
python3 skills/data-quality-checker/scripts/check_data_quality.py \
  --file path/to/document.md \
  --as-of 2026-02-28
Step 3: Load Reference Standards

Read the relevant reference documents to contextualize findings:

  • references/instrument_notation_standard.md -- Standard ticker notation, digit-count hints, and naming conventions for each instrument class
  • references/common_data_errors.md -- Catalog of frequently observed errors including FRED data delays, ETF/futures scale confusion, holiday oversights, allocation total pitfalls, and unit confusion patterns

Use these references to explain findings and suggest corrections.

Step 4: Review Findings

Examine each finding in the output:

  • ERROR -- High confidence issues (e.g., date-weekday mismatches verified by calendar computation). Strongly recommend correction.
  • WARNING -- Likely issues that need human judgment (e.g., price scale anomalies, notation inconsistencies, allocation sums off by more than 0.5%).
  • INFO -- Informational notes (e.g., mixed bp/% usage that may be intentional).
Step 5: Generate Quality Report

The script produces two output files:

  1. JSON report (data_quality_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.json): Machine-readable list of findings with severity, category, message, line number, and context.
  2. Markdown report (data_quality_YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.md): Human-readable report grouped by severity level.

Present the findings to the user with explanations referencing the knowledge base. Suggest specific corrections for each issue.

# Data Quality Report
**Source:** path/to/document.md
**Generated:** 2026-02-28 14:30:00
**Total findings:** 3

## ERROR (1)
- **[dates]** (line 12): Date-weekday mismatch: January 1, 2026 (Monday) -- actual weekday is Thursday

## WARNING (2)
- **[price_scale]** (line 5): GLD: $2,800 has 4 digits (expected 2-3 digits)
  > `GLD: $2,800`
- **[allocations]**: Allocation total: 110.0% (expected ~100%)

Resources

  • scripts/check_data_quality.py -- Main validation script
  • references/instrument_notation_standard.md -- Notation and price scale reference
  • references/common_data_errors.md -- Common error patterns and prevention

Key Principles

  1. Advisory mode: All findings are warnings for human review. The script always exits with code 0 on successful execution, even when findings are present. Exit code 1 is reserved for script failures (file not found, parse errors).

  2. Section-aware allocation checking: Only percentages within allocation sections (identified by headings like "配分", "Allocation", or table columns like "ウェイト", "目安比率") are checked. Random percentages in body text (probability, RSI, YoY growth) are ignored.

  3. Bilingual support: Handles both English and Japanese date formats, weekday names, and section headings. Full-width characters (%, 〜, en-dash) are normalized before processing.

  4. Year inference: For dates without an explicit year, the checker infers the year using (in priority order): the --as-of option, a YYYY pattern found in the document title/metadata, or the current year with a 6-month cross-year heuristic.

  5. Digit-count heuristic: Price scale validation uses digit counts (number of digits before the decimal point) rather than absolute price ranges. This approach is resilient to price changes over time while still catching ETF/futures confusion errors.
