What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by thesmokedev/taskchad-os in optional-skills/finance/crypto-watch/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Quote crypto prices and run threshold alerts. Read-only market data; the only mutation is sending an alert message.
Spot price
CoinGecko's simple-price endpoint is keyless:
uv run python optional-skills/finance/crypto-watch/scripts/prices.py \
bitcoin ethereum solana --vs usd
Coin IDs are CoinGecko slugs (bitcoin, not BTC). Resolve tickers to slugs via
the /coins/list endpoint if the user gives a symbol.
Watchlist + alerts
Store watches in vault/finance/crypto-watchlist.json:
[
{"coin": "bitcoin", "vs": "usd", "above": 80000, "below": null, "armed": true}
]
On each scheduled tick:
- Fetch current prices for all armed watches in one batched call.
- For each, compare against
above/below. - On a crossing, send one alert and set
armed: false(re-arm manually) so it doesn't spam every tick.
Delivery (gated)
Alerts are outbound messages — send them through the chat.send capability gate
with an audit trail. Register the tick as a scheduled job (see
.claude/sections/03_*); do not busy-poll.
Disclaimer
Surface a brief "not financial advice" note the first time a session gives prices or sets an alert.
