| name | gate-news-intel |
| version | 2026.6.22-1 |
| updated | 2026-06-22 |
| description | Use this skill whenever the user’s main ask is news, events, listings, social/UGC, or market move attribution. Primary gate-cli news (optional info for market context). Covers briefings, event explain, market move attribution via explain-market-move, exchange announcements, UGC X/Reddit/YouTube, sentiment. Triggers: what happened, why crash, why pump, market move reason, new listings, community take. Delegate: gate-info-research (research-first), gate-info-web3 (on-chain), gate-info-risk (safety). v0.7.6+ news shortcuts (+brief, +event-explain, +community-scan); legacy fallback below 0.7.6. |
gate-news-intel
General Rules
⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding.
Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority.
→ Read gate-runtime-rules.md
→ Also read info-news-runtime-rules.md for gate-info and gate-news shared rules.
- Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they
exist in the MCP server.
CLI and playbook contract
- Primary boundary: news, events, announcements, and social/UGC intelligence. Optional
info calls appear only in playbooks that explicitly add market or coin background (intel_plus_market, market_wide_intel).
- Legacy commands MUST exist under
gate-cli v0.5.2. When shortcuts_enabled (>= 0.7.6), prefer playbook shortcut / info_shortcut blocks; fall back to legacy commands on failure or older CLI. When preflight route is CLI, do not use Gate MCP from this skill.
- Always pass
--format json on data-collection commands.
- Separate fact from opinion: label facts (dated events, official announcements, news wires) vs community / UGC / X / social (always cite source type: UGC, X, Reddit, YouTube, sentiment index).
- Synthesis order (PRD 5.6.7):
- “Why did it drop / crash?” → causal event chain first (Section 2), then optionally market/coin background (Section 4).
- “How does the community see ...?” → Section 3 (community / UGC / X / sentiment) before broad market overview (Section 4).
- Final user-facing reports may use the user’s locale; this
SKILL.md stays English for discovery (repository CLAUDE.md rule 1).
Step 0 — Preflight
Follow skills/_shared/preflight.md verbatim:
-
Run gate-cli preflight --format json; parse .route, .status, .user_message.
-
Branch: CLI → continue; MCP_FALLBACK → emit __FALLBACK__ and halt (legacy MCP fallback is outside this repo’s primary skills); BLOCK → echo user_message and halt.
-
When status == "ready_with_migration_warning", remember it — Step 3 appends one migrate hint at the end of the report.
-
Step 0.5 — Version gate: From PREFLIGHT_JSON.cli_version, set shortcuts_enabled per skills/_shared/cli-version-routing.md. Store cli_version for Step 1 (market_move_explain needs >= 0.7.2 for explain-market-move).
Do NOT run news / info data collection until route == "CLI".
Step 1 — Intent routing
Map the user query to exactly one playbook id from playbooks/gate-news-intel.yaml.
| Playbook id | When to pick | Required slots |
|---|
news_brief | Headlines / “what happened recently” with a named asset | symbol |
event_explain | Pure event timeline / detail lookup without price-move attribution | symbol |
market_move_explain | “Why did X move / crash / pump / dump”, price-move attribution, market move reason | symbol, query |
exchange_listings | Listings, delistings, maintenance, announcements | — |
community_intel | “Community take”, Reddit, YouTube, X, social / sentiment (social-first) | symbol |
intel_plus_market | User wants news + market or coin background | symbol |
market_wide_intel | Broad “what is happening in crypto” without a ticker | — |
Version-dependent routing
market_move_explain requires gate-cli v0.7.2+ (the earliest version that ships explain-market-move). The playbook's cli_baseline field documents this. All other playbooks remain compatible with v0.5.2.
If routed to market_move_explain but cli_version < 0.7.2: fall back to event_explain and include this notice in the report footer:
explain-market-move requires gate-cli v0.7.2+. Falling back to event_explain with manual news/event stitching. Upgrade gate-cli for server-side Tavily-powered attribution with AI summary.
Slot extraction
symbol: ticker (BTC, ETH, ...). Ask if missing when the playbook requires it.query: user's original natural-language question, e.g. "Why did BTC surge?". Required for market_move_explain; extracted verbatim from the user's input.time_range: default 24h / 7d / 30d for legacy leaves; news shortcuts (+brief, +event-explain, +community-scan) accept only 1h / 24h / 7d — clamp against playbook shortcut arg_enums before calling (see _shared/cli-version-routing.md). market_move_explain: 30m / 1h / 2h / 4h / 24h (default 2h).event_id: only when the user references a concrete event for get-event-detail.topic_query: for market_wide_intel web search.
Coin fallback rules (market_move_explain)
When the user triggers market_move_explain but no coin is explicitly named:
- Explicit coin in query: extract and use it (e.g. "ETH why crash" -> ETH).
- Context coin: if the conversation has a unique coin, use it.
- Broad-market, no coin: default to
BTC and append a notice: "No coin specified; defaulting to BTC as the broad-market representative asset."
- Vague reference ("this coin", "that altcoin"): ask the user which specific coin.
- Event impact, no coin: ask the user which coin to analyze.
- Traditional finance (e.g. "US stocks", "China A-shares", "S&P 500"): pass through as the
coin value.
- Non-crypto, ambiguous: ask the user or route to the appropriate domain skill.
When coin defaults to BTC, the notice MUST be visible in the final report (Section 1 of the market move template).
Cross-skill routing at Step 1
| User signal | Route to |
|---|
| “Is it safe / honeypot / blacklist” | gate-info-risk (primary) |
| “Trace this address / on-chain / TVL / reserves” | gate-info-web3 (primary) |
| “Analyze this coin / fundamentals / technicals / macro” (research-first) | gate-info-research (primary) |
Step 2 — Data collection
Execute the chosen playbook. Same parallel_group → concurrent; wait between groups.
Shortcut routing (gate-cli >= 0.7.6)
When shortcuts_enabled, run playbook shortcut blocks per skills/_shared/cli-version-routing.md:
| Playbook | Shortcut |
|---|
news_brief | news +brief |
event_explain | news +event-explain with --event-id when when: event_id_present; else --coin. Legacy social_sentiment still runs (not replaced). Map market_interpretation → X, not sentiment index. |
market_wide_intel | info +market-overview replaces legacy market_overview only; open_web always runs |
community_intel | news +community-scan |
intel_plus_market | news +brief then info +coin-overview (shortcut → info_shortcut; see playbook shortcut_block_order) |
market_move_explain has no +market-move-explain shortcut in v0.7.6 — keep the gate-cli news events explain-market-move multi-step path.
exchange_listings: base invocation uses limit + format only; if the user supplied symbol, add --coin {symbol} when the CLI supports it (get-exchange-announcements --help).
event_explain: when shortcuts_enabled and event_id is set, pass --event-id via shortcut args_when — do not also run legacy get-event-detail. When shortcuts are disabled and event_id is known, run legacy get-event-detail only. For price-move attribution, route to market_move_explain.
market_move_explain: Execute in two groups (use the full CLI paths below — explain-market-move lives under news events, NOT news feed):
- Group A (parallel, core data):
gate-cli news events explain-market-move (Tavily-based news/event evidence with AI summary) + gate-cli info marketsnapshot get-market-snapshot (current price, change%, volume) + gate-cli info marketdetail get-orderbook (bid/ask wall, depth imbalance).
- Group B (after Group A completes, parallel):
gate-cli info markettrend get-technical-analysis (TA signals across timeframes) + gate-cli info coin get-coin-info (fundamentals) + community commands (gate-cli news feed search-x + gate-cli news feed get-social-sentiment) only when symbol != BTC. For BTC, skip community — Tavily already captures macro/geopolitical signals.
After data collection, the agent MUST perform its own final attribution synthesis using ALL collected data. Do not treat any single tool output as the authoritative conclusion. Prioritize events with higher relevance_score as primary drivers, cross-referencing with price/volume data from the snapshot and orderbook.
Info failures: In intel_plus_market and market_move_explain, info/community commands are optional — if they fail, mark that section as unavailable and still deliver the report.
Step 3 — Synthesis
Choose the report template based on the playbook:
market_move_explain: use the 6-section Market move analysis template below.- All other playbooks: use the 5-section Intel briefing template below.
Intel briefing template (all playbooks except market_move_explain)
Produce five sections, in this order:
## Intel briefing -- {subject}
### 1. Event / news takeaway
- 3-5 bullets; separate **verified facts** from **unconfirmed** items
### 2. Key facts and timeline
- Time-ordered, verifiable items from `search-news` / `get-latest-events` / `get-event-detail` where used
### 3. Community / UGC / X / Reddit / YouTube
- **Must** cover, when the playbook includes them: UGC (`search-ugc`), X (`search-x`), and sentiment where applicable (`get-social-sentiment`)
- Label every bullet with **source type** (e.g. UGC / X / sentiment index) -- do not state opinion as on-chain fact
### 4. Market or coin background (if any)
- Only when the playbook includes `info` or `get-market-overview` in `market_wide_intel`; if not used, state **no extra market context**
### 5. Conclusion and what to watch
- Not investment advice; list follow-up items
> This report is based on public data and tool output; it is not investment advice.
Market move analysis template (market_move_explain only)
Produce six sections, in this order:
## Market move analysis -- {coin} ({time_range})
[If coin was defaulted to BTC, append: "No coin specified; defaulting to BTC as the broad-market representative asset."]
### 1. Summary
[One concise attribution sentence. Synthesize: explain-market-move outer summary,
supporting_events summaries, market snapshot change%, and TA signals.
Prefer events with higher relevance_score as primary drivers.
Do NOT copy-paste the entire Tavily summary verbatim -- distill the key narrative.]
### 2. Primary drivers
[2-4 latest_news items from explain-market-move. For each: title, how it likely drove
the move (from its summary field), source URL, relevance_score.
Sort by relevance_score descending. If relevance_score < 0.5, note it as weak signal.
The outer summary in explain-market-move is a concatenation of these items'
Tavily AI answers; cross-reference with individual item summaries for accuracy.]
### 3. Supporting context
[1-2 supporting_events from the internal event pool, with first_seen_time.
Pay special attention to supporting_events[].summary -- these come from the internal
event pool and are NOT included in the outer summary, making them independent evidence.
Market snapshot: current price, change%, volume.
Order book: notable bid/ask walls or depth imbalances that explain the move magnitude.]
### 4. Technical signals
[Key TA indicators from get-technical-analysis. Trend direction, support/resistance
levels, RSI/MACD crossovers if available. Coin fundamentals from get-coin-info
(market cap rank, supply, sector).]
### 5. Community perspective
[Non-BTC only. X highlights from search-x, sentiment score from get-social-sentiment.
Label each item with source type (X / sentiment index).
If BTC, state: "Community data omitted for BTC; macro/geopolitical signals are
captured in Sections 2 and 3."]
### 6. What to watch
[Follow-up catalysts, key price levels, upcoming events that could confirm or
reverse the current move.]
[If data_status.is_partial: append "Partial data notice: {note if available}.
Missing sources: {missing_sources if listed}."]
> This report is based on public data and tool output; it is not investment advice.
Synthesis rules for market_move_explain
- The agent MUST perform its own final attribution -- do not treat any single tool output as authoritative.
- Cross-reference: the outer
summary in explain-market-move is a concatenation of Tavily AI answers. supporting_events[].summary fields are independent evidence from the internal event pool. Both should inform the agent's attribution.
latest_news items carry relevance_score (0-1). Prefer items above 0.5 as primary drivers; note weaker items as background context.- Validate news-driven narratives against market snapshot price/volume data -- a large move without matching event evidence should be acknowledged as unexplained.
Migrate hint
If Step 0 had ready_with_migration_warning, append verbatim the migration blockquote line from skills/_shared/report-style.md (line starting with ⚙️).
Cross-skill routing + Safety rules
Routing
Follow skills/_shared/routing.md. Do not absorb research / web3 / risk primary intents into this skill. News-intel-specific follow-ups (after the briefing is delivered and the user asks a follow-up):
| Follow-up intent | Target |
|---|
| "deeper research on this coin" / "is it worth attention" / "fundamentals / technicals / macro" | gate-info-research |
| "address from the event" / "what is on-chain" / "protocol TVL / reserves / smart money" | gate-info-web3 |
| "is this token safe" / "honeypot" / "blacklist" / "compliance" | gate-info-risk |
User changes symbol or time window and wants the same class of intel | Re-enter the same playbook with the new slots |
Safety rules
Follow skills/_shared/report-style.md. News-intel-specific:
- No buy/sell advice; no price targets.
- Community and UGC are first-class in Section 3 (not footnotes) when
community_intel or relevant commands in other playbooks fire.
- Never fabricate events or quotes — if empty, mark no data.
