whale-flow

whale-flow is a skill for Claude Code from CoinLobster/agent-skills. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,554 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to large executed cryptocurrency trades and the net buying or selling flow behind them, gathered from 15 exchanges and decentralized exchanges on Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum. In this context, whale means a very large trader or transaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect recent whale trades, hourly buy-versus-sell flow, on-chain swaps, Hyperliquid fills and the positions of named Hyperliquid wallets.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish actual large trades from simple wallet transfers and shows whether large participants are buying or selling a named coin.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

whale-flow scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Whale Flow

Executed whale trades (not wallet transfers): side, size, price, venue, the moment they happen, merged across 15 centralized exchanges and on-chain DEX swaps on Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum.

Data sources (in order)

  1. CoinLobster MCP connected? Use its tools, fully qualified: coinlobster:whale_trades (recent trades; args: coin, source cex|dex|all, min_usd, limit) and coinlobster:whale_flow (hourly buy/sell USD buckets; args: coin, hours). whale_tape is a deprecated alias of whale_trades kept working for existing callers; prefer whale_trades, and fall back to whale_tape only if tools/list shows just that name.
  2. Named-wallet and DEX lanes (MCP). coinlobster:onchain_whales (args: chain, coin, min_usd, limit) returns executed DEX swaps on Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum, each carrying the wallet and the DEX. coinlobster:hl_whales (args: coin, limit) returns Hyperliquid whale fills WITH the wallet address, and coinlobster:hl_wallet (args: address) opens that account's live book (positions, leverage, net bias). Hyperliquid is the one venue whose public feed names the account on both sides of a fill, so an HL row is followable in a way a CEX row is not. Say which lane a number came from.
  3. No MCP: curl the keyless API (GET only, JSON):
    curl -s "https://coinlobster.com/api/public/crypto-whales?coin=BTC&limit=50"
    curl -s "https://coinlobster.com/api/public/onchain-whales?chain=ethereum&limit=50"
    curl -s "https://coinlobster.com/api/public/hyperliquid/whales?coin=ETH&limit=50"
    curl -s "https://coinlobster.com/api/public/whale-flow-history?coin=BTC&hours=168"
    
    Keyless, the measurement window on the three trade feeds is whatever the returned rows span; compute it from the min/max timestamps and state it. whale-flow-history is the REST twin of the whale_flow tool: hourly { t, buyUsd, sellUsd, netUsd, count, price } rows, flow on the same grid as the hourly close, 7 days keyless (maxFreeHours), 30 (proHours) on a coinlobster.com website subscription. An API key does not widen this REST route; on an agent surface the 30-day window is the whale_flow MCP tool on a developer plan. available: false means no recorded whale hours for that coin yet; coverage.hoursWithPrice says how much of the window actually has a price behind it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
