Purpose
Design diversified yield strategies that balance return targets with liquidity, drawdown tolerance, and protocol risk.
Use this skill when
- The user asks for strategy ideas across staking, lending, LPs, and vaults.
- The user wants allocation weights under explicit risk constraints.
- The user wants rebalance triggers and downside playbooks.
Workflow
- Capture constraints:
- Capital size and base currency
- Acceptable drawdown
- Liquidity needs
- Chain/protocol restrictions
- Choose candidate archetypes from
references/strategy-archetypes.md. - For each candidate, score risk/return and run stress scenarios from
references/stress-framework.md. - Build allocation proposal with rebalancing and risk limits.
- Return a decision-ready plan with explicit assumptions.
Rules
- Distinguish base yield from token incentive yield.
- Penalize strategies with high mercenary-capital dependency.
- Include a no-incentive yield floor estimate.
- Reference
defi-risk-evaluatoroutput if protocol-level risk scoring is needed.

This skill designs diversified DeFi yield strategies that balance target returns, liquidity needs, and drawdown tolerance. It systematically evaluates staking, lending, LPs, and vaults, scoring risk vs return, and produces an allocation plan with rebalancing rules and explicit assumptions.
How This Skill Works
Capture constraints (capital size, base currency, acceptable drawdown, liquidity needs, chain/protocol restrictions). Select candidate archetypes from references/strategy-archetypes.md. For each archetype, score risk/return and run stress scenarios from references/stress-framework.md. Build an allocation proposal with rebalancing rules and risk limits, and return a decision-ready plan with explicit assumptions. Distinguish base yield from token incentive yield, penalize mercenary-capital dependency, and include a no-incentive yield floor estimate. Reference defi-risk-evaluator output if protocol-level risk scoring is needed.
When to Use It
- When the user asks for strategy ideas across staking, lending, LPs, and vaults.
- When the user requires allocation weights under explicit risk constraints.
- When the user needs rebalance triggers and downside playbooks.
- When the user wants to distinguish base yield from token incentives and estimate floors.
- When protocol-level risk scoring is needed using risk evaluators.
Quick Start
- Step 1: Capture constraints (capital_usd, target_apy, max_drawdown_pct, liquidity_needs, chain_constraints).
- Step 2: Pick candidate archetypes from references and run risk/return scoring plus stress tests from stress-framework.md.
- Step 3: Build the allocation proposal with rebalancing rules, risk limits, and explicit assumptions; deliver the decision-ready plan.
Best Practices
- Distinguish base yield from token incentives.
- Penalize strategies that rely on mercenary capital.
- Include a no-incentive yield floor estimate.
- Use stress scenarios from the stress-framework.md to test allocations.
- Reference defi-risk-evaluator outputs for protocol-level risk scoring.
Example Use Cases
- Diversified DeFi yield plan across staking, lending, LPs, and vaults with a 12% target APY and 6% max drawdown.
- Allocation plan with 50% base yield, 20% incentive yield, 30% liquidity strategies and quarterly rebalance.
- No-incentive floor included to validate minimum acceptable yield in declining reward environments.
- Candidate archetypes scored and stress-tested against a predefined stress framework before final selection.
- Decision-ready plan produced with explicit assumptions for governance and on-chain execution.
