whale-radar

whale-radar is a skill for Claude Code from CoinLobster/agent-skills. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,810 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A crypto-market monitor that finds coins with unusually strong large-holder trading compared with their normal activity, over 1-hour, 4-hour, and 24-hour periods. It also records what happened to the price after each signal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to screen coins for unusual whale activity, investigate possible smart-money rotation, and review how reliable past whale signals were.
Why use it?
It helps separate unusual large-holder activity from ordinary high trading volume and shows whether earlier signals were followed by price moves.

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-radar 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 11d 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.

Whale Radar

Coins whose whale flow is unusual versus their own baseline (not just "big volume"), across 1h / 4h / 24h windows, with every fired flag scored against the price move that followed.

Data sources (in order)

  1. MCP connected? coinlobster:whale_radar (no args) for the windows; coinlobster:flag_outcomes (args: type, coin, hours, limit) for fired flags with outcomes. To screen by condition (funding/OI band, whale multiple, unusual-only) use coinlobster:market_screener (args: funding_band, oi_band, whale_mult_min, unusual_only, limit, compact), which returns matched, the criteria echoed back, and rows[]. It is the one-call discovery path: prefer it over sweeping all three radar windows by hand. If tools/list does not show it, screen with whale_radar plus the workflow below instead of reporting a failure.
  2. No MCP:
    curl -s "https://coinlobster.com/api/public/whale-radar?window=4h"
    curl -s "https://coinlobster.com/api/public/receipts/whale-spike/BTC"
    
    Receipts reply ok: true with n/up/line once at least 3 flags have scored cleanly. ok: false with line: null means the sample is under 3, or one of the scored rows flagged incomplete coverage: thin or unverified, not necessarily zero. Report it as "no scored record to quote yet", never as "this signal has never fired".
  3. Quick read: fetch https://coinlobster.com/radar.md (unusual coins per window + a 48h flag/outcome table, plain markdown).

The screening workflow

  1. Pull the radar. Coins flagged unusual: true are the candidates; note direction and window (1h = happening now, 24h = persistent). Keyless, every coin outside the free pair (BTC) comes back blurred: true with magnitudes withheld, and a locked coin that is NOT unusual is omitted entirely (lockedCount / lockedUnusualCount say how many). The coin + direction + count still screen fine; say magnitudes need a developer plan key (from $29/mo) on the MCP.
  2. For each candidate, check persistence: unusual in BOTH a short and long window beats a single-window blip.
  3. Check the record before trusting it: pull flag_outcomes / receipts for that signal type and coin. Report the actual history with DIRECTION from the up-count plus SIZE from the median: "last 11 whale-spike flags on BTC: 2 up after 24h, median move plus or minus 0.9%". The up-count says which way PRICE went, not whether the flag was right: a flag is not a directional call, so never restate these as a hit rate or an accuracy score. Report every scored flag in the window, not the ones that read well.
  4. Optionally confirm with the live feed (whale-flow skill): is the radar's direction backed by visible large trades? If the CEX feed is empty for the coin, check /api/public/onchain-whales before concluding the flag has no visible trades (many flagged coins trade DEX-side).
  5. Output a ranked shortlist with the evidence per coin, windows measured, and the outcome record.

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.

whale-radar is a skill published in the GitHub repository CoinLobster/agent-skills (9 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 1,810 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
