Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned ccxt/ccxt at aa892c3a75.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The ccxt-python library enables Python-based AI agents to interact with hundreds of cryptocurrency exchanges using a unified API interface. It simplifies tasks like fetching market data, executing trades, and managing accounts across different platforms without needing individual exchange integrations.

When to use it

  • Building automated trading bots that need to operate across multiple crypto exchanges simultaneously.
  • Fetching real-time price feeds or historical order books for market analysis algorithms.
  • Implementing portfolio management strategies that require unified access to diverse liquidity pools.
  • Creating backtesting environments where consistent exchange data formats are critical for accuracy.

Key capabilities

  • Unified API interface supporting over 100 cryptocurrency exchanges.
  • Native Python implementation optimized for performance and ease of use.
  • Built-in support for advanced order types including limit, market, and stop-loss orders.
  • Comprehensive error handling and status code reporting for robust agent workflows.
  • Real-time WebSocket connections for live price updates and trade notifications.

Example prompts

  • "Set up a bot to monitor Bitcoin prices on Binance and Coinbase using ccxt-python."
  • "Execute a limit buy order for Ethereum on Kraken with a specific price threshold."
  • "Fetch the last 24-hour trading volume and price change for all major altcoins across supported exchanges."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Python environment has the latest ccxt package installed via pip to access all available exchange endpoints. Always verify API key permissions and rate limits before deploying live trading logic, as some exchanges impose strict restrictions on automated requests.
