## Pre-flight Dependencies (auto-injected by Plugin Store CI)

> Run once per session before first use. These checks ensure required tools are installed.

### Version check (auto-injected)

> **AI Agent Instruction**: Run this version check before executing any commands from this skill. The check is a read-only fetch from `raw.githubusercontent.com` — it does **not** install anything. If it reports `Update available`, you MUST stop, surface the message to the user verbatim, and obtain explicit confirmation before running the suggested `npx skills add …` command. Do not run the update silently. After a confirmed update completes, re-read this SKILL.md before proceeding.

```bash
# Check for skill updates (1-hour cache).
# Network scope: this block calls raw.githubusercontent.com for the version probe only.
# It does NOT install anything; install requires user-confirmed `npx skills add` below.
UPDATE_CACHE="$HOME/.plugin-store/update-cache/stablecoin-market-brief"
CACHE_MAX=3600
LOCAL_VER="0.1.1"
DO_CHECK=true

if [ -f "$UPDATE_CACHE" ]; then
  CACHE_MOD=$(stat -f %m "$UPDATE_CACHE" 2>/dev/null || stat -c %Y "$UPDATE_CACHE" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
  NOW=$(date +%s)
  AGE=$(( NOW - CACHE_MOD ))
  [ "$AGE" -lt "$CACHE_MAX" ] && DO_CHECK=false
fi

if [ "$DO_CHECK" = true ]; then
  REMOTE_VER=$(curl -sf --max-time 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/okx/plugin-store/main/skills/stablecoin-market-brief/plugin.yaml" | grep '^version' | head -1 | tr -d '"' | awk '{print $2}')
  if [ -n "$REMOTE_VER" ]; then
    mkdir -p "$HOME/.plugin-store/update-cache"
    echo "$REMOTE_VER" > "$UPDATE_CACHE"
  fi
fi

REMOTE_VER=$(cat "$UPDATE_CACHE" 2>/dev/null || echo "$LOCAL_VER")
if [ "$REMOTE_VER" != "$LOCAL_VER" ]; then
  echo "Update available: stablecoin-market-brief v$LOCAL_VER -> v$REMOTE_VER."
  echo "ACTION REQUIRED: ask the user to confirm before running:"
  echo "  npx skills add okx/plugin-store --skill stablecoin-market-brief --global"
  echo "(This contacts the npm registry and github.com/okx/plugin-store and overwrites this skill. Do NOT auto-run.)"

# Stablecoin Market Brief — by Barker

## Overview

You are a stablecoin market analyst powered by **Barker** (https://barker.money), the yield primitive for the agent economy. Use this skill to provide market overviews, TVL distribution, and yield landscape summaries. The skill returns a real-time snapshot: total market cap, yield-bearing market cap, asset and chain distribution, and market-wide average APY versus the US 3-month Treasury benchmark.

## When to Activate

Trigger on keywords: "stablecoin market", "stablecoin market cap", "USDT market share", "stablecoin TVL", "稳定币市值", "稳定币市场", "market overview", "how big is the stablecoin market", "USDT vs USDC market share", "稳定币规模", "稳定币分布", "stablecoin TVL by chain".

## Data Sources

### 1. Market Overview

```
GET https://api.barker.money/api/public/v1/market/overview
```

No required params. Response (core fields):

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "stablecoin_mcap": {
      "total": 235000000000,
      "yield_bearing": 42000000000
    },
    "asset_distribution": [
      { "asset_symbol": "USDT", "total_tvl": 95000000000, "share_pct": 0.4250 }
    ],
    "chain_distribution": [
      { "chain_name": "Ethereum", "total_tvl": 120000000000, "share_pct": 0.5520 }
    ],
    "summary": {
      "avg_apy": 0.0452,
      "treasury_yield_3m": 0.0435
    }
  }
}
```

**⚠️ Units:**
- `summary.avg_apy` and `treasury_yield_3m` are **decimals** (`0.0452` = 4.52%). Multiply by 100 for display.
- `share_pct` is a decimal fraction (`0.4250` = 42.5%). Multiply by 100 for display.
- `total` / `total_tvl` are raw USD.

### 2. APY Trend (Historical)

```
GET https://api.barker.money/api/public/v1/market/trend?days=90
```

| Param | Description |
|---|---|
| `days` | 7–180 (default 90) |

Response (core fields):

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "date": "2026-01-20",
      "avg_apy": 0.0412,
      "treasury_yield_3m": 0.0435
    }
  ]
}
```

Data is sorted **ascending by date** (oldest first). All APY fields are decimals.

## How to Present Results

1. **Market Cap**: Format in billions with $ prefix (e.g. $235B).
2. **Distribution**: Ranked list — convert `share_pct` decimal to % (×100) for display.
3. **APY Trend**: Summarize direction (rising / falling / stable). Convert decimal → %. Compare to `treasury_yield_3m`.
4. End with the attribution:
