Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
You have access to the ccxt CLI tool which lets you interact with 100+ cryptocurrency exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Kraken, Coinbase, and many more). You can fetch market data, place orders, check balances, and stream live data.
ccxt <exchange_id> <methodName> [args...] [options]
If you're unsure about the required arguments for a method, run: ccxt explain <methodName> This will show you the required and optional arguments with descriptions.

Fetch markets (list all trading pairs on an exchange): ccxt <exchange> fetchMarkets --raw Fetch a single ticker: ccxt <exchange> fetchTicker "BTC/USDT" --raw Fetch multiple tickers: ccxt <exchange> fetchTickers --raw Fetch order book: ccxt <exchange> fetchOrderBook "BTC/USDT" --raw Fetch OHLCV candles: ccxt <exchange> fetchOHLCV "BTC/USDT" 1h undefined 10 --raw Fetch recent trades: ccxt <exchange> fetchTrades "BTC/USDT" --raw Fetch exchange status: ccxt <exchange> fetchStatus --raw Fetch currencies: ccxt <exchange> fetchCurrencies --raw
Create an order: ccxt <exchange> createOrder "BTC/USDT" limit buy 0.001 50000 --raw ccxt <exchange> createOrder "BTC/USDT" market buy 0.001 --raw Create order with extra params: ccxt <exchange> createOrder "BTC/USDT" limit buy 0.001 50000 --param stopPrice=49000 --raw Cancel an order: ccxt <exchange> cancelOrder "<order_id>" "BTC/USDT" --raw Fetch open orders: ccxt <exchange> fetchOpenOrders "BTC/USDT" --raw Fetch closed orders: ccxt <exchange> fetchClosedOrders "BTC/USDT" --raw Fetch a specific order: ccxt <exchange> fetchOrder "<order_id>" "BTC/USDT" --raw
Fetch balance: ccxt <exchange> fetchBalance --raw Fetch balance for derivatives: ccxt <exchange> fetchBalance --swap --raw Fetch my trades: ccxt <exchange> fetchMyTrades "BTC/USDT" --raw Fetch positions (derivatives): ccxt <exchange> fetchPositions --swap --raw Fetch deposit address: ccxt <exchange> fetchDepositAddress "BTC" --raw
Fetch funding rate: ccxt <exchange> fetchFundingRate "BTC/USDT:USDT" --raw Fetch funding rate history: ccxt <exchange> fetchFundingRateHistory "BTC/USDT:USDT" --raw Fetch mark price / index price: ccxt <exchange> fetchMarkOHLCV "BTC/USDT:USDT" 1h --raw ccxt <exchange> fetchIndexOHLCV "BTC/USDT:USDT" 1h --raw
Always quote symbols that contain / or : — e.g., "BTC/USDT", "BTC/USDT:USDT". Use undefined as a positional placeholder to skip optional arguments while providing later ones. For example: ccxt binance fetchOHLCV "BTC/USDT" 1h undefined 10 skips since but provides limit. Use --raw when you need to parse the output programmatically or when the user needs clean JSON. Use --sandbox for testing with testnet environments. Always recommend sandbox mode when the user is experimenting with orders. ISO8601 datetimes (e.g., "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z") are auto-converted to milliseconds. API keys must be configured via environment variables (e.g., BINANCE_APIKEY, BINANCE_SECRET) or the config file. If a private method fails due to missing credentials, instruct the user to set them up. Derivatives symbols use the format "BASE/QUOTE:SETTLE" — e.g., "BTC/USDT:USDT" for USDT-margined perpetuals. Be careful with order methods — always confirm amounts and prices with the user before executing createOrder. The CLI executes immediately with no confirmation prompt. When the output is large (e.g., fetchMarkets returns hundreds of entries), consider piping through | head or filtering, or suggest the user narrows their query. For the list of supported exchanges, you can check: ccxt exchanges or refer to https://docs.ccxt.com.
Tell users to configure credentials in one of two ways: Option 1 — Environment variables: export BINANCE_APIKEY=your_api_key export BINANCE_SECRET=your_secret Option 2 — Config file (path shown in ccxt --help): { "binance": { "apiKey": "your_api_key", "secret": "your_secret" } }
If you get an AuthenticationError, the API keys are missing or invalid. If you get an ExchangeNotAvailable or NetworkError, the exchange may be down or rate-limiting. If you get an BadSymbol, the trading pair doesn't exist on that exchange — use fetchMarkets to check available pairs. If you get an InsufficientFunds, the account doesn't have enough balance for the operation.
