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.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# PMCC Scanner

Finds optimal Poor Man's Covered Call setups by scoring symbols on option chain quality.

## What is PMCC?

Buy deep ITM LEAPS call (delta ~0.80) + Sell short-term OTM call (delta ~0.20) against it. Cheaper alternative to covered calls.

## Instructions

> **Note:** If `uv` is not installed or `pyproject.toml` is not found, replace `uv run python` with `python` in all commands below.

```bash
uv run python scripts/scan.py SYMBOLS [options]
```

## Arguments

- `SYMBOLS` - Comma-separated tickers or path to JSON file from bullish scanner
- `--min-leaps-days` - Minimum LEAPS expiration in days (default: 270 = 9 months)
- `--leaps-delta` - Target LEAPS delta (default: 0.80)
- `--short-delta` - Target short call delta (default: 0.20)
- `--output` - Save results to JSON file (use this; Claude generates the report from the JSON)
- `--report` - Save auto-generated markdown to file (programmatic fallback only — prefer Claude-generated reports)

## Scoring System (max possible: 14, range: -8 to 14)

| Category | Condition | Points |
|----------|-----------|--------|
| **Delta Accuracy** | LEAPS within ±0.05 | +2 |
| | LEAPS within ±0.10 | +1 |
| | Short within ±0.05 | +1 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add staskh/trading_skills/scanner-pmcc@sha256:cf740bd8ece08692

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.b6c1909, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
