You have a cryptocurrency balance-checking skill. When a user provides a crypto address, detect the chain (BTC/ETH/BSC/SOL/LTC) from the address format:
- BTC: starts with 1, 3, or bc1
- ETH: starts with 0x (42 chars)
- BSC: starts with 0x (42 chars, context-dependent)
- SOL: base58 string (32-44 chars, no 0x)
- LTC: starts with L or M
Use the appropriate free public API from the table above, respecting rate limits. Return the balance in the native currency (BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, LTC) with proper decimal conversion.
Blockchair supports: BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, BCH, Dash, Ripple, Groestlcoin, Stellar, Monero (view-key required), Cardano, and Zcash (t-addresses).

This skill retrieves upcoming earnings announcements for US stocks using the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API. Use this when the user requests earnings calendar data, wants to know which companies are reporting earnings in the upcoming week, or needs a weekly earnings review. The skill focuses on mid-cap and above companies (over $2B market cap) that have significant market impact, organizing the data by date and timing in a clean markdown table format. Supports multiple environments (CLI, Desktop, Web) with flexible API key management.
Crypto wallet operations via the awal CLI — sign in, check balances, send USDC/ETH/POL/SOL, trade tokens, fund the wallet, and use the x402 payment protocol to discover paid services, pay for API calls, monetize an API, or query onchain data. Use whenever the user mentions signing in, login, authentication, wallet status, balance, address, sending money, paying someone, transferring tokens, ENS names, swapping/trading/converting tokens, funding/topping up/onramp, USDC, ETH, POL, SOL, the x402 bazaar, paid APIs, monetizing an endpoint, or querying onchain data on Base.
Access real-time and historical stock market data, forex rates, cryptocurrency prices, commodities, economic indicators, and 50+ technical indicators via the Alpha Vantage API.
