What this skill does

# Skill: crypto-prices ## Purpose Fetch live cryptocurrency and commodity prices using the local `crypto_prices.py` module. This is your **single source of truth** for all price data — never use web search for prices. ## When to Use - Boss Man asks "what's BTC at?" or "price of gold" or any price query - You need current prices for market analysis, morning protocol, or any report - Anytime you're about to quote a price in conversation ## How to Execute ### Single Price Lookup ```bash cd ~/clawd && python3 -c " from crypto_prices import fetch_live_price, format_price_text data = fetch_live_price('COIN_NAME') if data: print(format_price_text(data)) # Full details available in data dict: # data['price'], data['change_24h'], data['change_7d'], data['change_30d'] # data['market_cap'], data['volume_24h'], data['high_24h'], data['low_24h'] # data['ath'], data['ath_change_pct'], data['source'] else: print('Price unavailable — all providers failed') " ``` ### Multiple Price Lookup (Batch) ```bash cd ~/clawd && python3 -c " from crypto_prices import fetch_multiple_prices, format_prices_block prices = fetch_multiple_prices(['bitcoin', 'ethereum', 'xrp', 'sui', 'gold', 'silver']) print(format_prices_block(prices)) " ``` ### Quick Price (Minimal Output) ```bash cd ~/clawd && python3 -c " from crypto_prices import fetch_live_price d = fetch_live_price('COIN_NAME') if d: print(f\"{d['symbol']}: \${d['price']:,.6g} ({d['change_24h']:+.2f}%)\") " ``` ## Supported Assets | Input | Resolves To | Source | |-------|-------------|--------| | btc, bitcoin | bitcoin | CoinGecko | | eth, ethereum | ethereum | DexScreener → CoinGecko | | xrp, ripple | ripple | DexScreener → CoinGecko | | sui | sui | CoinGecko | | sol, solana | solana | CoinGecko | | gold, xau | gold | Yahoo Finance → CoinGecko | | silver, xag | silver | Yahoo Finance → CoinGecko | | doge, ada, dot, avax, link, matic | various | CoinGecko | ## Provider Chain 1. **Cache** (60s TTL) — serves instantly if fresh 2. **Yahoo Finance** — metals only (gold/silver), most reliable for commodities 3. **CoinGecko full** — comprehensive data (price, 24h/7d/30d change, ATH/ATL, market cap) 4. **CoinGecko simple** — lighter endpoint if full is rate-limited 5. **DexScreener** — DEX-based failover for crypto (ETH and XRP try this first) ## Rules - **NEVER** use Brave Search for prices — it returns stale article snippets, not live data - **NEVER** guess or hallucinate prices — if all providers fail, say "price unavailable" - Cache is 60 seconds — calling twice within a minute is free - Rate limits: CoinGecko ~10 req/min, DexScreener ~60 req/min - For batch queries, the module handles delays automatically
