Find Next Crypto Idea

What it does

When your agent uses it

• A user asks what to build in crypto
• Wants startup ideas in a crypto niche such as DeFi
• Wants blunt feedback on an existing crypto idea
• Wants a concrete artifact comparing the best next ideas

Example prompts

• “/find-next-crypto-idea”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Infer whether the user needs fresh ideas, a narrowed idea search in a known domain, or validation of an existing thesis.
2. 2Ask the user to pick a report theme. Read references/report-themes.md and present the 12-theme table. Store their choice as the theme…
3. 3Read references/source-map.md first to understand the local datasets available to this skill.
4. 4Read references/interview-framework.md before asking substantive questions.
5. 5Gate every candidate through references/crypto-necessity-test.md before scoring it.
6. 6Score surviving candidates with references/scoring-rubric.md.
7. 7Run fresh research with references/research-playbook.md. When you already have candidate ideas, use scripts/live_research.py to generate…
8. 8Produce the shortlist artifact first. Let the user pick one. Then deepen the chosen idea and write a second artifact.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38a494a. 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:

  • curl

  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):

  • arena.colosseum.org

  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

Find Next Crypto Idea loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 891 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~112

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.5k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~8.2k

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

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.

description

Interview users sharply to discover, rank, or validate what they should build in crypto. Use when a user asks what to build in crypto, wants startup ideas in a crypto niche such as DeFi or AI x crypto, wants blunt feedback on an existing crypto idea, or wants a concrete artifact comparing the best next ideas. Treat the bundled idea datasets as inspiration, not constraints, and always combine them with fresh market research.
