OpenClaw CMC Market Report

Use this skill only for OpenClaw-driven market report workflows. Keep it aligned with cmc-cli and openclaw-cmc-cli; do not restate the command encyclopedia here.

Prerequisites

This skill requires:

• cmc CLI installed and available on PATH — see CoinMarketCap CLI for installation options
• CMC_API_KEY available to OpenClaw via skill config or session environment

If either dependency is missing, the skill will not function.

Trigger

Apply when the request matches or clearly implies:

• market report
• market snapshot
• crypto morning brief
• how's crypto today
• today's crypto market summary

Scope

• Use only shipped cmc commands for this report.
• Default commands:
  • metrics
  • price --id 1,1027
  • trending
  • top-gainers-losers --time-period 24h
  • news --limit 5
• Use pairs <id> --category derivatives only when the user explicitly asks for derivatives or an asset-specific derivatives extension.
• Do not switch to MCP or raw Pro API inside this skill.
• Treat resolve and history as higher-caution, non-default dependencies for this report. Use them only if the request truly needs identity disambiguation or historical context.

Report Format

Always output these sections in this order:

1. Market Snapshot
2. BTC & ETH
3. Momentum
4. News Flow
5. Risks / Caveats

Section Rules

• Market Snapshot: summarize the broad tape from metrics, trending, and top-gainers-losers.
• BTC & ETH: anchor on price --id 1,1027; keep it tight and comparative.
• Momentum: focus on the strongest movers and what the 24h setup suggests.
• News Flow: use only the top 5 news items and keep it signal-first.
• Risks / Caveats: call out data gaps, stale prints, noisy headlines, and any derivatives caveat if pairs was used.

Failure Handling

• If a command fails, return the affected section with a short partial note instead of dropping the whole report.
• If a command returns incomplete data, say what is missing, use the available subset, and continue to the next section.
• If BTC/ETH data is unavailable, state that explicitly and still complete the remaining sections.

Style

• Be concise and instruction-focused.
• Prefer report-ready output over explanation.
• Keep the tone suitable for OpenClaw task execution, not general assistant chatter.
