What it does

Tracking Crypto Derivatives is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Track cryptocurrency futures, options, and perpetual swaps with funding rates, open interest, liquidations, and comprehensive derivatives market analysis. Use when monitoring derivatives markets, analyzing funding rates, tracking open interest, finding liquidation levels, or researching options flow. Trigger with phrases like "funding rate", "open interest", "perpetual swap", "futures basis", "liquidation levels", "options flow", "put call ratio", "derivatives analysis", or "BTC perps".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `ARD.md`, `PRD.md` and `config/settings.yaml`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Crypto and DeFi analysis and Market research. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Monitoring derivatives markets
  • Analyzing funding rates
  • Tracking open interest
  • Finding liquidation levels

Example prompts

  • “funding rate”
  • “open interest”
  • “perpetual swap”
  • “/tracking-crypto-derivatives”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(crypto:derivatives-*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check funding rates across exchanges to identify sentiment and arbitrage opportunities
  2. Analyze open interest to gauge market positioning and trend strength
  3. Monitor liquidations to find support/resistance clusters
  4. Analyze options market for IV, put/call ratio, and max pain
  5. Calculate basis for spot-futures arbitrage opportunities
  6. Run full dashboard for comprehensive derivatives overview

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(crypto:derivatives-*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 8 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Tracking Crypto Derivatives loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 352 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~130
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Tracking Crypto Derivatives

Overview

Aggregate funding rates, open interest, liquidations, and options data across CEX and DEX derivatives exchanges to produce actionable trading insights.

Supported Markets: Perpetual Swaps (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit, BitMEX), Quarterly Futures, Options (Deribit, OKX, Bybit), DEX Perpetuals (dYdX, GMX, Drift Protocol).

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+ installed
  • Network access to exchange APIs
  • Optional: API keys for higher rate limits
  • Understanding of derivatives concepts (funding, OI, basis)

Instructions

  1. Check funding rates across exchanges to identify sentiment and arbitrage opportunities:

    bash
    python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC
python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC ETH SOL
python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC --history 7d
    • Positive funding (>0.01%): Longs pay shorts, bullish sentiment
    • Negative funding (<-0.01%): Shorts pay longs, bearish sentiment
    • Extreme funding (>0.1%): Potential contrarian opportunity

  2. Analyze open interest to gauge market positioning and trend strength:

    bash
    python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC
python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC --changes
python derivatives_tracker.py oi BTC --divergence
    • Rising OI + Rising Price = strong bullish trend
    • Rising OI + Falling Price = strong bearish trend
    • Falling OI + Rising Price = short covering rally
    • Falling OI + Falling Price = long liquidations

  3. Monitor liquidations to find support/resistance clusters:

    bash
    python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC
python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC --recent
python derivatives_tracker.py liquidations BTC --min-size 100000  # 100000 = minimum USD liquidation size filter

  4. Analyze options market for IV, put/call ratio, and max pain:

    bash
    python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC
python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC --pcr
python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC --expiry 2025-01-31  # 2025 = target expiry year

  5. Calculate basis for spot-futures arbitrage opportunities:

    bash
    python derivatives_tracker.py basis BTC
python derivatives_tracker.py basis BTC --quarterly
python derivatives_tracker.py basis --all

  6. Run full dashboard for comprehensive derivatives overview:

    bash
    python derivatives_tracker.py dashboard BTC
python derivatives_tracker.py dashboard BTC ETH SOL
python derivatives_tracker.py dashboard BTC --output json
Show full SKILL.md (178 more words)Show less

Output

The skill produces structured reports per market type:

  • Funding Rate Report: Current, 24h avg, 7d avg rates per exchange with annualized yield and sentiment
  • Open Interest Report: OI per exchange with 24h/7d changes, share %, and long/short ratio
  • Liquidation Heatmap: Long/short liquidation clusters by price level with USD density
  • Options Overview: Put/call ratio, IV rank, max pain, and large flow alerts
  • Basis Report: Spot-perp and quarterly basis with annualized carry rates

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for detailed output format examples.

Error Handling

ErrorCauseFix
ERR_RATE_LIMITToo many API requestsReduce frequency or add API key
ERR_EXCHANGE_DOWNExchange API unavailableTry alternative exchange
ERR_SYMBOL_INVALIDWrong symbol formatUse BTC, ETH (not BTCUSDT)

Examples

Morning derivatives check - Scan funding, OI, and liquidations for top assets:

bash
python derivatives_tracker.py dashboard BTC ETH SOL

Funding rate arbitrage - Alert when funding exceeds threshold for cash-and-carry:

bash
python derivatives_tracker.py funding BTC --alert-threshold 0.08

Pre-expiry options analysis - Check max pain and IV before Friday expiry:

bash
python derivatives_tracker.py options BTC --expiry friday

Basis trading scan - Find all pairs with annualized yield above 5%:

bash
python derivatives_tracker.py basis --all --min-yield 5  # 5 = minimum annualized yield %
