Find Crypto Skills

Helps users discover and install crypto trading related agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I trade crypto", "find a skill for DeFi", "is there...

Security Scan

The skill is internally coherent: it only provides instructions to discover and install crypto-related agent skills and does not request credentials or install code itself, but it relies on running/adding third‑party npm packages which carries normal supply‑chain risk the user should be aware of.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description match the runtime instructions: the SKILL.md instructs the agent to search for and propose crypto-related skills and suggests install commands for discovered skills. No unrelated capabilities, env vars, or binaries are requested.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are limited to searching for skills (npx skills find) and presenting/installing them (npx skills add). The doc correctly warns about not sharing private keys. Note: the instructions propose using npx to run and install third‑party packages and even suggest global installs (-g -y); that means the user (or the agent, if allowed) may execute remote code, so the agent should not automatically run installs without user confirmation and repository review.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec for this skill itself (instruction-only). However the workflow depends on npx/npm to fetch and run packages from the public registry (skills CLI and individual skills). This is expected for a package-manager-driven ecosystem but does present standard npm supply‑chain risks (malicious or compromised packages, typosquatting). The SKILL.md does not pin trusted release URLs or hashes.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. It explicitly advises users not to share private keys and to use trade-only API keys, which is appropriate and proportionate.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not ask to persist or modify other skills or agent configuration. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (normal for skills) but is not combined with broad privileges or credential access.

Assessment

This skill is coherent and mainly guides discovery/install of crypto agent skills, but installing arbitrary npm packages is inherently risky. Before adding any skill: (1) inspect the skill's source repo on GitHub and verify the owner, recent commits, and issues; (2) avoid global installs (-g) and avoid auto-yes (-y) so you can read prompts; (3) prefer running untrusted skills in an isolated environment or container; (4) never paste private keys or seed phrases into a skill and only use exchange API keys with withdrawal disabled; (5) consider manually reviewing package.json and install scripts of any npm package you run. If you want, I can list safer patterns for vetting a skill's repository or walk you through reviewing a specific skill before you install it.

This skill helps you discover and install crypto trading related skills from the open agent skills ecosystem.

How to Help Users Find Crypto Skills

Step 1: Identify the User's Need

When a user asks for crypto-related help, identify:

1. Asset type — BTC, ETH, SOL, altcoins, stablecoins, NFTs
2. Action — trading, analyzing, monitoring, automating, staking, bridging
3. Platform — CEX (Binance, OKX, Coinbase) or DEX (Uniswap, Jupiter, dYdX)
4. Data need — price feeds, on-chain data, sentiment, news

Step 2: Search Using Crypto-Specific Queries

Run the find command with targeted keywords:

npx skills find [query]

Recommended query mapping:

User Intent	Search Query
"trade on Binance"	npx skills find binance trading
"track my crypto portfolio"	npx skills find crypto portfolio tracker
"DeFi yield farming"	npx skills find defi yield
"Bitcoin price alert"	npx skills find crypto price alert
"analyze on-chain data"	npx skills find onchain analytics
"swap tokens on Uniswap"	npx skills find uniswap token swap
"crypto news sentiment"	npx skills find crypto news sentiment
"NFT floor price"	npx skills find nft floor price
"wallet monitoring"	npx skills find wallet monitor blockchain
"automate trading strategy"	npx skills find crypto trading bot

Step 3: Present Options to the User

When relevant skills are found, present them with:

1. Skill name and what it does
2. Supported exchanges or chains (if applicable)
3. The install command
4. A link to learn more

Example response:

I found a skill that might help! The "okx-trade" skill lets you place spot and
futures orders, check balances, and manage positions on OKX directly from chat.

To install it:
npx skills add okx-trade

Tips for Effective Crypto Searches

1. Be exchange-specific: binance futures returns better results than just trading
2. Include the chain: solana swap or ethereum defi narrows results effectively
3. Try abbreviations: btc, eth, sol often work as well as full names
4. Check these common sources for crypto skills:
   • ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills
   • okx-trade-mcp
   • Exchange-specific repos (e.g. binance-labs/agent-skills)

When No Crypto Skills Are Found

If no relevant skill exists:

1. Acknowledge that no existing skill was found
2. Offer to help directly — e.g., fetch price data via CoinGecko API, analyze a wallet address, or explain a DeFi protocol
3. Suggest creating a custom skill:

I searched for skills related to "[query]" but didn't find any matches.
I can still help you directly — for example, I can pull live price data or
walk you through a trade manually.

If you need this often, you can scaffold your own skill:
npx skills init my-crypto-skill

Security Reminders

When installing any crypto-related skill, remind the user to:

• Never share private keys or seed phrases with any skill
• Use API keys with trade-only permissions (no withdrawal access) when connecting to exchanges
• Test with small amounts before automating real trades
• Verify the skill source on GitHub before installing
