BF alphagbm-vix-status
Current VIX level + 5-tier fear-thermometer classification + option-seller strategy hint. Translates the single VIX number into actionable trading guidance (calm / normal / seller sweet spot / caution / extreme fear). Includes current percentile vs 1-year history and how many days the market spent in each tier. Triggers: "what's VIX", "VIX level", "is market calm", "market fear gauge", "should I sell premium now", "VIX tier", "VIX strategy", "volatility environment", "fear index", "should I buy protection", "is this a good time for BPS".
Current VIX level + 5-tier fear-thermometer classification + option-seller strategy hint.

How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
