What it does

Btc Terminology is an agent skill from hiromaily/go-crypto-wallet. Critical Bitcoin terminology rules to prevent confusion between bech32m (encoding) and taproot (address type). Use when working on BTC-related code, config files, or shell scripts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Shell scripting. It works with Bitcoin. The repository describes itself as: Cryptocurrency wallet for trading for Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, Ethereum, ERC20, XRP Leger (Ripple). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on BTC-related code
  • Tasks that involve Shell scripting

Example prompts

  • “/btc-terminology”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Taproot (BIP341) = SegWit version 1 address type (P2TR - Pay-to-Taproot)
  2. Bech32m (BIP350) = Encoding format that fixes checksum issues in original Bech32

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 798ab10. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml, bash and go).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.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

Btc Terminology loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

BTC Terminology Rules

🚨 CRITICAL: Bech32m vs Taproot

This is a common source of bugs. Do NOT confuse these terms:

TermWhat It IsWhere Used
bech32mEncoding format (HOW address is serialized)Bitcoin Core RPC, shell scripts
taprootAddress type (WHAT the address represents)Config files, domain model

Key Rule: bech32m ≠ taproot — They are related but NOT interchangeable.

Quick Reference Table

ContextCorrect TermExample
Config YAML/TOML filestaprootaddress_type: "taproot"
Environment variablestaprootWALLET_ADDRESS_TYPE="taproot"
Bitcoin Core CLI/RPCbech32mbitcoin-cli getnewaddress "" bech32m
Shell scripts (receiver addresses)bech32mgetnewaddress "" bech32m
Go domain code (internal/domain/address/)taprootAddrTypeTaproot
Go Bitcoin Core interface (internal/domain/bitcoin/)bech32mAddressTypeTaproot = "bech32m"

Common Mistakes

❌ WRONG
yaml
# Config file - DON'T use bech32m
address_type: "bech32m" # WRONG!
bash
# Shell script - DON'T use taproot for Bitcoin Core RPC
bitcoin-cli getnewaddress "" taproot  # WRONG!
✅ CORRECT
yaml
# Config file - Use taproot
address_type: "taproot" # CORRECT!
bash
# Shell script - Use bech32m for Bitcoin Core RPC
bitcoin-cli getnewaddress "" bech32m  # CORRECT!

Technical Background

Why Two Different Terms?
  1. Taproot (BIP341) = SegWit version 1 address type (P2TR - Pay-to-Taproot)
  2. Bech32m (BIP350) = Encoding format that fixes checksum issues in original Bech32

All Taproot addresses are encoded using bech32m, but:

  • User-facing config uses "taproot" (what you want)
  • Bitcoin Core RPC uses "bech32m" (how it's encoded)
Address Format Comparison
EncodingSegWit VersionAddress TypePrefixConfig Value
Base58N/AP2PKH1...legacy
Base58N/AP2SH3...p2sh-segwit
Bech32v0P2WPKHbc1q...bech32
Bech32mv1P2TRbc1p...taproot

Codebase Mapping

The project has two different type definitions:

go
// internal/domain/bitcoin/address_type.go
// For Bitcoin Core RPC communication
AddressTypeTaproot AddressType = "bech32m"  // Bitcoin Core uses "bech32m"

// internal/domain/address/types.go
// For user-facing configuration
AddrTypeTaproot AddrType = "taproot"  // User sees "taproot"

Conversion between these is handled by mapper functions:

go
// internal/infrastructure/api/btc/btc/mapper.go
// FromAddressType: "bech32m" (Bitcoin Core) → "taproot" (user-facing)
// ToAddressType:   "taproot" (user-facing) → "bech32m" (Bitcoin Core)

Verification Checklist

When working with Taproot/Bech32m code:

  • Config files (YAML/TOML) use address_type: "taproot"
  • Environment variables use WALLET_ADDRESS_TYPE="taproot"
  • Bitcoin Core RPC calls in shell scripts use bech32m
  • Shell scripts generating receiver addresses use bech32m
  • Go code uses correct type for the layer:
    • Domain/config layer: AddrTypeTaproot (value: "taproot")
    • Bitcoin Core interface: AddressTypeTaproot (value: "bech32m")
