crypto-research

crypto-research is a skill for Claude Code from OpenCMC/skills-for-ai-agents-by-CoinMarketCap. It costs 113 tokens per session (1,597 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cryptocurrency research workflow that gathers data from CoinMarketCap, a website that tracks digital currencies and their market information. It examines a coin’s background, market data, token supply, holders, and risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate what a cryptocurrency is, whether it appears legitimate, how its tokenomics and holder distribution work, and what risks or warning signs it has.
Why use it?
It organizes due diligence—checking evidence before forming a view—so research goes beyond looking at a coin’s current price. It also requires identifying the correct token and surfacing both positive and negative signals.

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

crypto-research scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Crypto Research Skill

Perform comprehensive due diligence on any cryptocurrency by systematically gathering and analyzing data from multiple CMC MCP tools.

Prerequisites

Before starting research, verify the CMC MCP tools are available. If tools fail or return connection errors, ask the user to set up the MCP connection:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cmc-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.coinmarketcap.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-CMC-MCP-API-KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Core Principle

Thorough research requires looking at a token from multiple angles. Fetch all relevant data before forming conclusions. Surface both green flags and red flags.

Research Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Token

Call search_cryptos with the token name/symbol to get the CMC ID. If multiple results, clarify with the user which one they mean.

Step 2: Basic Information

Call get_crypto_info to get:

  • Project description and category
  • Launch date
  • Website, social links, documentation
  • Tags (DeFi, Layer 1, Meme coin, etc.)

Step 3: Market Data

Call get_crypto_quotes_latest to get:

  • Current price and market cap
  • 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, 1y price changes
  • Trading volume and volume change
  • Circulating supply vs max supply
  • Market cap rank

Step 4: Holder Analysis

Call get_crypto_metrics to get:

  • Address distribution by holding value ($0-1k, $1k-100k, $100k+)
  • Whale concentration (% held by top holders)
  • Holder behavior (traders vs cruisers vs long-term holders)

Step 5: Technical Analysis

Call get_crypto_technical_analysis to get:

  • Moving averages (7d, 30d, 200d SMA/EMA)
  • RSI (oversold < 30, overbought > 70)
  • MACD signal
  • Fibonacci levels and pivot points

Step 6: Recent News

Call get_crypto_latest_news with limit 5-10 to get recent headlines and sentiment.

Step 7: Deep Dive (if needed)

Call search_crypto_info to answer specific questions about the token's technology, use case, or mechanics.

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.
