Skill: crypto-prices
Purpose
Fetch live cryptocurrency and commodity prices using the local crypto_prices.py module. This is your single source of truth for all price data — never use web search for prices.
When to Use
- Boss Man asks "what's BTC at?" or "price of gold" or any price query
- You need current prices for market analysis, morning protocol, or any report
- Anytime you're about to quote a price in conversation
How to Execute
Single Price Lookup
cd ~/clawd && python3 -c "
from crypto_prices import fetch_live_price, format_price_text
data = fetch_live_price('COIN_NAME')
if data:
print(format_price_text(data))
# Full details available in data dict:
# data['price'], data['change_24h'], data['change_7d'], data['change_30d']
# data['market_cap'], data['volume_24h'], data['high_24h'], data['low_24h']
# data['ath'], data['ath_change_pct'], data['source']
else:
print('Price unavailable — all providers failed')
"
Multiple Price Lookup (Batch)
cd ~/clawd && python3 -c "
from crypto_prices import fetch_multiple_prices, format_prices_block
prices = fetch_multiple_prices(['bitcoin', 'ethereum', 'xrp', 'sui', 'gold', 'silver'])
print(format_prices_block(prices))
"
Quick Price (Minimal Output)
cd ~/clawd && python3 -c "
from crypto_prices import fetch_live_price
d = fetch_live_price('COIN_NAME')
if d: print(f\"{d['symbol']}: \${d['price']:,.6g} ({d['change_24h']:+.2f}%)\")

Provider Chain
- Cache (60s TTL) — serves instantly if fresh
- Yahoo Finance — metals only (gold/silver), most reliable for commodities
- CoinGecko full — comprehensive data (price, 24h/7d/30d change, ATH/ATL, market cap)
- CoinGecko simple — lighter endpoint if full is rate-limited
- DexScreener — DEX-based failover for crypto (ETH and XRP try this first)
Rules
- NEVER use Brave Search for prices — it returns stale article snippets, not live data
- NEVER guess or hallucinate prices — if all providers fail, say "price unavailable"
- Cache is 60 seconds — calling twice within a minute is free
- Rate limits: CoinGecko ~10 req/min, DexScreener ~60 req/min
- For batch queries, the module handles delays automatically
