CoinGecko Skill

🚫 CRITICAL: STOP — READ THIS BEFORE CALLING ANY TOOL

The #1 error is calling Coinglass tools instead of CoinGecko tools. They have similar names but are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT systems.

WRONG → RIGHT Tool Substitution Table

❌ NEVER call this ✅ Call this instead How to tell them apart
cg_coins_market_data cg_coins_markets market_data=Coinglass derivatives. markets=CoinGecko spot.
cg_ohlc_history coin_ohlc ohlc_history=Coinglass futures candles. coin_ohlc=CoinGecko spot candles.
cg_pair_market_data cg_coin_tickers pair_market_data=Coinglass futures pair. coin_tickers=CoinGecko spot pairs.
cg_supported_exchanges cg_exchanges supported_exchanges=Coinglass futures. exchanges=CoinGecko spot.
cg_taker_exchanges cg_exchange taker=Coinglass volume. exchange=CoinGecko exchange info.
cg_aggregated_taker_volume cg_coin_tickers taker_volume=Coinglass. coin_tickers=CoinGecko volume across exchanges.
defillama_chains cg_global_defi For DeFi stats from CoinGecko, use cg_global_defi().

Also FORBIDDEN:

  • web_search / web_fetch — ALL data is available via native CoinGecko tools above. NEVER use web_search for crypto market data.
  • bash for data processing — CoinGecko tools return clean data. No bash needed.
  • NEVER answer with training data — all prices, rankings, OHLC are stale. CALL THE TOOL.

⚠️ MANDATORY TOOL CALLS — You MUST call a tool before answering these

Request type You MUST call Why
K线 / OHLC / candlestick / open high low close coin_ohlc(coin_id, days) Price data is real-time; training data is stale
走势图 / price chart / 价格趋势 coin_chart(coin_id, days) Same reason
当前价格 / price right now coin_price(coin_ids) Training data has no live prices

DO NOT return any numeric market data (prices, OHLC values, percentages) without calling a tool first.

价格 / price / 多少钱 (single coin) coin_price(coin_id) coin_price(coin_ids="bitcoin")

🌳 Decision Tree

How many coins?
├─ ONE coin
│   ├─ Just price? → coin_price()
│   ├─ ATH/community/dev/deep? → cg_coin_data()
│   ├─ OHLC candles? → coin_ohlc()
│   ├─ Price trend? → coin_chart()
│   └─ Unknown ID? → cg_search() first
├─ MULTIPLE coins / ranking
│   ├─ Sector aggregate (板块总市值)? → cg_categories()
│   ├─ Sector individual (Meme前10)? → cg_coins_markets(category=X)
│   └─ General ranking? → cg_coins_markets(per_page=N)
├─ NFTs → cg_nfts_list() or cg_nft(nft_id)
├─ Exchange → cg_exchange(id) or cg_exchanges()
├─ Global → cg_global() or cg_global_defi()
└─ Token by contract → cg_token_price()

Common Category IDs

meme-token, artificial-intelligence, layer-1, layer-2, decentralized-finance-defi, gaming, real-world-assets-rwa

Output Formatting

  • Prices: always use $ sign → $66,697
  • Percentages: always use %+4.2%
  • NFT floor in ETH: show USD too → 5.17 ETH ($10,534)

Important Notes

  • CoinGecko uses slug IDs: "bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana". Symbols (BTC, ETH, SOL) auto-resolve.
  • If unsure about a coin ID → cg_search(query="coin name") first.
  • Most questions need only 1-2 tool calls. Do NOT chain 3+ calls.

Common Issues

coin_price failed with invalid ID

Solution: Use cg_search(query="coin name") to find the correct CoinGecko ID first, or use the symbol directly (e.g., 'COMP').

How to use coingecko on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

1

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
  • Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
  • Active project directory or workspace where you want to add coingecko
2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/starchild-ai-agent/official-skills --skill coingecko

The skills CLI fetches coingecko from GitHub repository starchild-ai-agent/official-skills and configures it for Cursor.

3

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│ • Amp
│ • Antigravity
│ • Cline
│ • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ • Cursor
│ • Windsurf
4

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/coingecko

Reload or restart Cursor to activate coingecko. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /coingecko) or your agent's skill management interface.

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Use Cases

User Story & Requirements Generation

Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs

Example

Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios

Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage

Competitive Analysis

Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps

Example

Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities

Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days

Roadmap Prioritization

Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs

Example

Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster

Stakeholder Communication

Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations

Example

Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement

Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Implementation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
  • Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
  • Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
  • Stakeholder contact information and communication channels

Time Estimate

30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements

Installation Steps

  1. 1.Install product management skill
  2. 2.Start with user story generation for known feature
  3. 3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
  4. 4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
  5. 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
  6. 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
  7. 7.Share effective prompts with product team

Common Pitfalls

  • Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
  • Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
  • Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
  • Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
  • Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
  • +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
  • +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
  • +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
  • +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
  • +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition

✗ Don't

  • Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
  • Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
  • Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
  • Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
  • Don't ignore company-specific context and culture

💡 Pro Tips

  • Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
  • Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
  • Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
  • Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs

When to Use This

✓ Use When

Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

Learning Path

  1. 1Basic: user stories, feature specs, status updates
  2. 2Intermediate: competitive analysis, prioritization frameworks, PRDs
  3. 3Advanced: product strategy, go-to-market planning, OKR setting
  4. 4Expert: product vision, market positioning, business model innovation
