Getting started

Install

01

Claude Code

Unzip into your skills folder. The skill triggers on its description, or call it by name.

cp -r run-full-token-dd ~/.claude/skills/

02

Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI

Every skill is plain markdown. Open SKILL.md and paste it as your system prompt or project instructions.

03

Give it the input

Each card lists what the skill needs. Most take a single token name and do the rest themselves.

/run-full-token-dd SOL

How these are built

Free data, or it does not ship

Tiered sources

Keyless endpoints first, free-key APIs second, public web last. Every skill names the tier it actually used.

No invented numbers

A figure that could not be fetched is written unknown, with the source that failed. Three sourced numbers beat twenty plausible ones.

Dated and falsifiable

Every report carries an as-of stamp, a confidence level, and the specific observation that would prove it wrong.
