What it does

Moonpay Price Alerts is an agent skill from moonpay/skills. Set up desktop price alerts that notify you when tokens hit target prices. Observe-only — no trading, just notifications.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to move money — on-ramps, swaps, wallets, deposits, and more via the MoonPay CLI. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/moonpay-price-alerts”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa672ab. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- jq
- osascript
- apt
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:
- apple.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

Moonpay Price Alerts loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 255 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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.

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.

Price alerts

Goal

Monitor token prices and get desktop notifications when they cross a threshold. Uses mp token search for price checks and OS notifications (osascript/notify-send) for alerts. Observe-only — no funds at risk.

Prerequisites

mp binary on PATH: which mp
jq installed: which jq
macOS: osascript (built-in) or Linux: notify-send (sudo apt install libnotify-bin)

One-shot alert

"Tell me when SOL drops below $80" — checks every 5 minutes, fires once, then disables itself.

Script: `~/.config/moonpay/scripts/alert-sol-below-80.sh`

bash

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

MP="$(which mp)"
LOG="$HOME/.config/moonpay/logs/alerts.log"
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$LOG")"
log() { echo "[$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)] $*" >> "$LOG"; }

# --- Config ---
TOKEN="So11111111111111111111111111111111111111111"
CHAIN="solana"
SYMBOL="SOL"
TARGET=80
DIRECTION="below"  # "above" or "below"
SCRIPT_NAME="alert-sol-below-80"

# --- Check price ---
PRICE=$("$MP" --json token search --query "$SYMBOL" --chain "$CHAIN" | jq -r '.items[0].marketData.price')

if [ -z "$PRICE" ] || [ "$PRICE" = "null" ]; then
  log "ALERT $SCRIPT_NAME: price fetch failed, skipping"
  exit 0
fi

# --- Compare ---
TRIGGERED=false
if [ "$DIRECTION" = "below" ] && (( $(echo "$PRICE < $TARGET" | bc -l) )); then
  TRIGGERED=true
elif [ "$DIRECTION" = "above" ] && (( $(echo "$PRICE > $TARGET" | bc -l) )); then
  TRIGGERED=true
fi

if [ "$TRIGGERED" = true ]; then
  MSG="$SYMBOL is $DIRECTION \$$TARGET — currently \$$PRICE"
  log "ALERT $SCRIPT_NAME: $MSG"

  # Desktop notification
  if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]; then
    osascript -e "display notification \"$MSG\" with title \"MoonPay Alert\" sound name \"Glass\""
  else
    notify-send "MoonPay Alert" "$MSG"
  fi

  # Self-disable (one-shot)
  if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]; then
    launchctl unload "$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.moonpay.${SCRIPT_NAME}.plist" 2>/dev/null || true
  else
    crontab -l | grep -v "$SCRIPT_NAME" | crontab -
  fi
  log "ALERT $SCRIPT_NAME: disabled after trigger"
else
  log "ALERT $SCRIPT_NAME: $SYMBOL at \$$PRICE — not triggered ($DIRECTION $TARGET)"
fi

Schedule

Check every 5 minutes:

bash

# cron (Linux)
*/5 * * * * ~/.config/moonpay/scripts/alert-sol-below-80.sh # moonpay:alert-sol-below-80

# launchd (macOS) — use StartInterval of 300 seconds in the plist

Launchd plist at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.moonpay.alert-sol-below-80.plist:

xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

  <integer>300</integer>
  <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
  <string>/Users/USERNAME/.config/moonpay/logs/alert-sol-below-80.err</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Load: launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.moonpay.alert-sol-below-80.plist

Important: Replace USERNAME with the actual username. Tilde does not expand in plist files.

Recurring alert

"Alert me every hour while ETH is above $2000" — keeps firing on each check, doesn't self-disable.

Same script as above but remove the self-disable block. The alert fires every time the condition is met, until the user manually removes it.

Managing alerts

List active alerts

bash

# macOS
launchctl list | grep moonpay

# Linux
crontab -l | grep moonpay

Remove an alert

bash

# macOS
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.moonpay.alert-sol-below-80.plist
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.moonpay.alert-sol-below-80.plist

# Linux
crontab -l | grep -v "alert-sol-below-80" | crontab -

View alert history

bash

tail -50 ~/.config/moonpay/logs/alerts.log

Tips

Price checks via mp token search are free — no gas costs
5-minute intervals are reasonable; don't go below 1 minute
Use mp token search --query "SOL" --chain solana to resolve token addresses
Alerts log to ~/.config/moonpay/logs/alerts.log — check this to verify they're running
The machine must be logged in for notifications and keychain access to work
bc -l handles decimal comparison; if unavailable, use awk "BEGIN {exit !($PRICE < $TARGET)}"
