| description | Market overview. Use this skill ONLY when the user's query is exclusively about overall market conditions with no specific coin analysis. Trigger phrases: how is the market, market overview, what is happening in crypto. If the query ALSO mentions a specific coin to analyze, risk to check, technicals to review, or any other analysis dimension, use gate-info-research instead — it handles multi-dimension queries in a single unified report. |
gate-info-marketoverview
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 / gate-news-specific rules (tool degradation, report standards, security, routing degradation, and per-skill version checks when scripts/ is present).
- 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.
The crypto market "dashboard" Skill. The user asks about overall market conditions in a single sentence; the system calls 5 MCP Tools in parallel to fetch market-wide data + sector leaderboards + DeFi overview + recent events + macro summary, then the LLM aggregates into a market-briefing-level structured report.
Trigger Scenarios: User asks about overall market conditions — not about a specific coin.
Per-skill updates: This directory includes scripts/update-skill.sh and scripts/update-skill.ps1. Policy: info-news-runtime-rules.md §1. The Trigger update steps below apply in addition to gate-runtime-rules.md; when scripts are present, use this flow for version checks before execution.
Trigger update (with Execution)
Default (PD / blocking): On each trigger, run check first without GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto. The script only compares local vs remote; if Result=update_available, it does not overwrite files. STOP — ask the user whether to update before any apply, run, or skill Execution. In sandboxes (e.g. Cursor), use full / all permissions when later running apply. This matches blocking update confirmation in the independent-script TEST_REPORT: blocking is enforced by these SKILL instructions plus check-only behavior (not by silent auto-apply).
Strict check (Agent / IDE — recommended on check): Use GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT=1. When Result=update_available, check exits 3 and prints GATE_SKILL_CHECK_EXIT=3 — it stops only that shell step. Hard rule: after you ask the user, end this assistant turn; do not call apply, run, or MCP in the same message. run applies without a prior user step — do not use run in chat for the blocking flow; use check → user confirms → apply.
Step 1 — Check
Install root: check / apply read $DEST/SKILL.md. Typical $SKILL_ROOT: $HOME/.cursor/skills/<name>/, $HOME/.codex/skills/<name>/, $HOME/.openclaw/skills/<name>/, $HOME/.agents/skills/<name>/, $HOME/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<name>/. Single-arg: the script resolves DEST in that order when SKILL.md exists; otherwise DEST is scripts/../. Workspace-only trees need two-arg check / apply with explicit DEST.
Bash (blocking — no auto; example Cursor):
GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT=1 bash "$HOME/.cursor/skills/gate-info-marketoverview/scripts/update-skill.sh" check "gate-info-marketoverview"
PowerShell:
$env:GATE_SKILL_CHECK_STRICT = '1'
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\skills\gate-info-marketoverview\scripts\update-skill.ps1" check "gate-info-marketoverview"
Result semantics: skipped = no action. update_available = remote newer; with blocking flow, do not apply until the user agrees. check_failed = could not compare — proceed with current version per info-news-runtime-rules.md.
Agent parse (stdout): GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_AGENT_ACTION=…. BLOCK_UNTIL_USER_CONFIRMS_UPDATE → Step 2 before Execution. CONTINUE_SKILL_EXECUTION → no block from the check script.
Step 2 — Confirm or Reject (blocking)
If update_available:
-
STOP — do NOT proceed to Execution yet.
-
Inform the user (e.g. newer version available; summarize if helpful).
-
Wait for the user’s reply — blocking step.
Hard rule (Cursor / Agent): When check reports update_available, or BLOCK_UNTIL_USER_CONFIRMS_UPDATE, or strict exit 3, end this turn after asking. Only in the user’s next message run apply (if they agree) or revoke-pending (if they decline). Do not chain apply in the same turn as check for this flow.
- User agrees → run
apply with GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN from strict check stdout when required, then Execution.
- User declines →
revoke-pending, then Execution on the current install.
Two-step gate (strict check): apply / run (without GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto) fail until GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN matches .gate-skill-apply-token. User decline → revoke-pending.
GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN="<paste from check stdout>" bash "$HOME/.cursor/skills/gate-info-marketoverview/scripts/update-skill.sh" apply "gate-info-marketoverview"
bash "$HOME/.cursor/skills/gate-info-marketoverview/scripts/update-skill.sh" revoke-pending "gate-info-marketoverview"
$env:GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN = '<paste from check stdout>'
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\skills\gate-info-marketoverview\scripts\update-skill.ps1" apply "gate-info-marketoverview"
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$env:USERPROFILE\.cursor\skills\gate-info-marketoverview\scripts\update-skill.ps1" revoke-pending "gate-info-marketoverview"
If Step 1 was not strict (no pending token): apply without GATE_SKILL_CONFIRM_TOKEN is allowed.
If skipped or check_failed: no update step; proceed to Execution.
Optional — GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto
For CI / unattended automation only: setting GATE_SKILL_UPDATE_MODE=auto on check makes the script apply immediately when the remote is newer — no user confirmation and incompatible with blocking update confirmation tests. Do not use auto on check when reproducing the blocking PD flow.
Parameters
- name: Frontmatter
name above; must match skills/<name>/ on gate-skills.
- Invoke: Use
$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/update-skill.sh (or .ps1) where $SKILL_ROOT/SKILL.md is this skill — e.g. ~/.cursor/skills/<name>, ~/.codex/skills/<name>, ~/.openclaw/skills/<name>, ~/.agents/skills/<name>, ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<name>; do not treat ~/.cursor (or any host root without skills/<name>/SKILL.md) as the install. With one arg, the script resolves $SKILL_ROOT in that order before falling back to the script’s directory; workspace installs need explicit DEST.
Do not dump raw script logs into the user-facing reply except when debugging. On check exit 3 (strict), do not run Execution until Step 2 is resolved. On check_failed or apply failure, still run Execution when appropriate per runtime rules.

Routing Rules
| User Intent | Keywords | Action |
|---|
| Market overview | "how's the market" "market overview" "what's happening in crypto" "are we up or down today" | Execute this Skill's full workflow |
| Single coin analysis | "how is BTC" "analyze ETH" | Route to gate-info-coinanalysis |
| News only | "what's happening" | Route to gate-news-briefing |
| DeFi deep-dive | "which DeFi protocol is best" "TVL rankings" | Route to gate-info-defianalysis |
| Macro deep-dive | "how's the jobs report" "any economic data today" | Route to gate-info-macroimpact |
Execution Workflow
Step 0: Multi-Dimension Intent Check
Before executing this Skill, check if the user's query involves multiple analysis dimensions:
- If the query is exclusively about overall market conditions with no specific coin to deep-dive, proceed with this Skill.
- If the query also mentions a specific coin to analyze, risk to check, technicals to review, or any other analysis dimension beyond market overview, route to
gate-info-research — it handles multi-dimension queries with unified tool deduplication and coherent report aggregation.
Step 1: Intent Recognition
Confirm the user is asking about overall market conditions (not a single coin). Optionally extract:
time_context: e.g., "today", "this week", "recently" (affects news/event time range)
Step 2: Call 5 MCP Tools in Parallel
| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | Parallel |
|---|
| 1a | info_marketsnapshot_get_market_overview | (none) | Full market: total market cap, 24h volume, BTC dominance, Fear & Greed Index, gainer/loser ratio | Yes |
| 1b | info_coin_get_coin_rankings | ranking_type="gainers", time_range="24h", limit=5 | Top 5 gainers | Yes |
| 1c | info_platformmetrics_get_defi_overview | category="all" | DeFi total TVL, DEX 24h volume, stablecoin total market cap | Yes |
| 1d | news_events_get_latest_events | time_range="24h", limit=5 | Major events in the past 24h | Yes |
| 1e | info_macro_get_macro_summary | (none) | Macro snapshot (DXY, rates, CPI trend) | Yes |
All 5 Tools are called in parallel with no dependencies. If a tool is not available, omit that call and mark the corresponding report section as "No data". If info_marketsnapshot_get_market_overview is not available, use info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot for BTC/ETH as fallback.
Step 2b: Optional Supplementary Calls
| Condition | Supplementary Tool | Parameters | Purpose |
|---|
| User asks about "this week" or needs trend context | info_coin_get_coin_rankings | ranking_type="losers", time_range="24h", limit=5 | Add top losers |
| User is interested in sector rotation | info_coin_get_coin_rankings | ranking_type="hot", limit=10 | Trending coins |
Step 3: LLM Aggregation

### 6. Overall Assessment
{LLM generates a 3-5 sentence assessment:}
- Current market phase (bull / bear / sideways / recovery)
- Primary drivers
- Key risks or opportunities to watch
> The above analysis is data-driven and does not constitute investment advice.
Decision Logic
| Condition | Label/Assessment |
|---|
| fear_greed > 75 | "Extreme Greed — exercise caution at highs" |
| fear_greed < 25 | "Extreme Fear — potential opportunity amid panic" |
| BTC dominance > 55% and altcoins broadly declining | "Capital rotating back to BTC — altcoins under pressure" |
| BTC dominance declining + altcoins broadly rising | "Potential altcoin season" |
| Gainer/Loser ratio > 3:1 | "Broad-based rally — bulls in control" |
| Gainer/Loser ratio < 1:3 | "Broad-based decline — bears in control" |
| DeFi TVL 7d change > +10% | "Significant capital inflow into DeFi" |
| Stablecoin market cap rising | "Off-exchange capital flowing in — bullish signal" |
| Any Tool returns empty/error | Skip that section; note "Data unavailable" |
Error Handling
| Error Type | Handling |
|---|
| get_market_overview or core snapshot fails | Return degraded version showing only available sections; or use get_market_snapshot for BTC/ETH as fallback |
| Macro data unavailable | Skip "Macro Environment" section; note "Macro data temporarily unavailable" |
| Event data unavailable | Skip "Recent Major Events" section |
| All Tools fail | Return error message; suggest the user try again later |
Cross-Skill Routing
| User Follow-up Intent | Route To |
|---|
| "How is BTC?" / clicks on a specific coin | gate-info-coinanalysis |
| "Why did XX pump?" | gate-news-eventexplain |
| "Any recent news?" | gate-news-briefing |
| "DeFi details" | gate-info-defianalysis |
| "Macro data impact" | gate-info-macroimpact |
| "Give me a BTC technical analysis" | gate-info-trendanalysis |
Safety Rules
- No investment advice: Market assessments are data-driven; must include a "not investment advice" disclaimer
- No trend predictions: Do not output "tomorrow will go up/down" style predictions
- Data transparency: Label data source and update time
- Flag missing data: When any section has no data, explicitly state it — never fabricate data
- Avoid emotional language: Use objective, neutral language to describe market conditions
