What it does

Academy Skill is an agent skill from binance/binance-skills-hub. Retrieve Binance Academy's official educational content (Glossary, Courses, Learn & Earn, Articles) for AI chat. Trigger when the user's message expresses one of these INTENTS (NOT keyword matches): (1) Knowledge Q&A — "What is Gas Fee?", "Why did I receive less crypto than I sent?", "How does staking work?" (2) Risk Education — high-risk trading/investment intent: leverage, borrowing to trade, all-in, scams, "20x long", "borrowing to amplify position" (3) Customized Learning Plan — "I want to learn DeFi", "Build…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/api-contract.md` and `references/intent-routing.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Crypto and DeFi analysis, Educational content and Curriculum and course design. It works with Binance and Bitcoin. The repository describes itself as: Binance Skills Hub is an open skills marketplace that gives AI agents native access to crypto.

When your agent uses it

  • The users message expresses one of these INTENTS (NOT keyword matches):
  • Knowledge Q&A — What is Gas Fee?
  • Why did I receive less crypto than I sent?
  • How does staking work?

Example prompts

  • “What is Gas Fee?”
  • “Why did I receive less crypto than I sent?”
  • “How does staking work?”
  • “/academy-skill”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect user language → lang code
  2. Pick intent + call the script
  3. Format the output
  4. Output templates

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9960c67. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • binance.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Academy Skill loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~37k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 214 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,393 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~214
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~37k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,393 words (~3,461 tokens).

“Intent-driven educational content skill. Retrieve Glossary / Courses / Learn & Earn / Articles from Binance Academy, present as concise paraphrased answers with Academy links. Never investment advice.”
