Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
This skill provides a TypeScript implementation of the CCXT library, enabling AI agents to interact with over 100 cryptocurrency exchanges using type-safe code. It simplifies market data retrieval and trading execution by offering a unified API across different exchanges while maintaining strict type definitions for better development reliability.
When to use it
- Building backend services that require automated crypto trading strategies with compile-time safety checks.
- Integrating multiple exchange APIs into a single application without managing disparate JSON structures manually.
- Creating robust financial tools where type errors could lead to significant monetary losses or system failures.
- Developing AI agents that need precise, documented interfaces for executing orders across diverse liquidity providers.
Key capabilities
- Unified API access to more than 100 major cryptocurrency exchanges.
- Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions for all exchange-specific parameters.
- Simplified market data fetching and order placement logic.
- Consistent error handling and response formatting across different platforms.
Example prompts
- "Create a TypeScript function using ccxt-typescript to fetch the current Bitcoin price on Binance."
- "Write an AI agent script that places a limit buy order for Ethereum on Coinbase Pro using ccxt."
- "Generate a type-safe configuration object connecting a trading bot to Kraken and Bitfinex via ccxt-typescript."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your development environment has the latest TypeScript version installed, as this skill relies heavily on strict typing. Be aware that while the library unifies APIs, individual exchanges may still have unique rate limits or specific order types not fully covered by generic wrappers, requiring manual configuration adjustments.
