OpenClaw CMC Market Report
Use this skill only for OpenClaw-driven market report workflows. Keep it aligned with cmc-cli and openclaw-cmc-cli; do not restate the command encyclopedia here.
Prerequisites
This skill requires:
cmc CLI installed and available on PATH — see CoinMarketCap CLI for installation options
CMC_API_KEY available to OpenClaw via skill config or session environment
If either dependency is missing, the skill will not function.
Trigger
Apply when the request matches or clearly implies:
- market report
- market snapshot
- crypto morning brief
- how's crypto today
- today's crypto market summary
Scope
- Use only shipped
cmc commands for this report.
- Default commands:
metrics
price --id 1,1027
trending
top-gainers-losers --time-period 24h
news --limit 5
- Use
pairs <id> --category derivatives only when the user explicitly asks for derivatives or an asset-specific derivatives extension.
- Do not switch to MCP or raw Pro API inside this skill.
- Treat
resolve and history as higher-caution, non-default dependencies for this report. Use them only if the request truly needs identity disambiguation or historical context.
Report Format
Always output these sections in this order:
- Market Snapshot
- BTC & ETH
- Momentum
- News Flow
- Risks / Caveats
Section Rules
- Market Snapshot: summarize the broad tape from
metrics, trending, and top-gainers-losers.
- BTC & ETH: anchor on
price --id 1,1027; keep it tight and comparative.
- Momentum: focus on the strongest movers and what the 24h setup suggests.
- News Flow: use only the top 5 news items and keep it signal-first.
- Risks / Caveats: call out data gaps, stale prints, noisy headlines, and any derivatives caveat if
pairs was used.
Failure Handling
- If a command fails, return the affected section with a short partial note instead of dropping the whole report.
- If a command returns incomplete data, say what is missing, use the available subset, and continue to the next section.
- If BTC/ETH data is unavailable, state that explicitly and still complete the remaining sections.
Style
- Be concise and instruction-focused.
- Prefer report-ready output over explanation.
- Keep the tone suitable for OpenClaw task execution, not general assistant chatter.
