General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md → Also read info-news-runtime-rules.md for gate-info / gate-news-specific rules (tool degradation, report standards, security, routing degradation, and per-skill version checks when scripts/ is present).

• Only call MCP tools explicitly listed in this skill. Tools not documented here must NOT be called, even if they exist in the MCP server.

Side-by-side comparison Skill. The user inputs 2-5 coins, the system calls market snapshot + fundamentals tools for each coin in parallel, and the LLM aggregates multi-dimensional data into a comparison table with overall analysis.

Trigger Scenarios: User mentions two or more coins + keywords like compare, versus, vs, which is better, difference, head-to-head.

Per-skill updates: This skill may include scripts/update-skill.sh and, in full source trees, scripts/update-skill.ps1 for optional maintenance checks against the official Gate Skills repository. The shared policy is defined in info-news-runtime-rules.md.

Maintenance flow:

• Use check only when you need to compare the installed skill with the official repo.
• In interactive sessions, check never rewrites files.
• If update_available, ask the user before apply.
• If update scripts are unavailable or the version check cannot run, continue with the current installed version.
• apply rewrites only this skill's local directory under the active skills root.
• Do not download replacement updater scripts during the session; use the official repo for manual repair when needed.

Routing Rules

| User Intent | Keywords/Pattern | Action | |-------------|-----------------|--------| | Multi-coin comparison | "compare BTC and ETH" "SOL vs AVAX" "Layer2 coin comparison" | Execute this Skill's full workflow | | Single coin analysis | "analyze SOL for me" | Route to gate-info-coinanalysis | | Price only | "what's BTC price" | Call info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot directly | | Sector overview | "how is the DeFi sector doing" | Route to gate-info-marketoverview | | Ranking list | "top 10 coins by market cap" | info_coin_get_coin_rankings not yet available — prompt user to list specific coins to compare |

---

Execution Workflow

Step 1: Intent Recognition & Parameter Extraction

Extract from user input:

• symbols[]: List of coins (2-5), e.g., [BTC, ETH, SOL]
• If the user mentions project names (e.g., Solana, Avalanche), map to ticker symbols
• If the user mentions a sector without specific coins (e.g., "which Layer2 coins are good"), prompt them to list 2-5 specific coins

Limits: Minimum 2, maximum 5. If more than 5, prompt user to narrow the scope. If only 1 coin, ask for at least one more or route to gate-info-coinanalysis.

Step 2: Call 2 MCP Tools per Coin in Parallel

For each symbol in the list, execute in parallel:

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | Parallel | |------|----------|------------|----------------|----------| | 1a | info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot | symbol={symbol}, timeframe="1d", source="spot" | Market data: real-time price, K-line summary, market cap, FDV, Fear & Greed Index | Yes | | 1b | info_coin_get_coin_info | query={symbol} | Fundamentals: project info, sector, funding, tokenomics | Yes |

For 3 coins, this results in 6 parallel Tool calls with no dependencies. When info_marketsnapshot_batch_market_snapshot and info_coin_search_coins are available, prefer them; otherwise use per-coin calls above.

Step 3 (Optional): Technical Comparison

If the user explicitly requests technical comparison, or the number of coins is 3 or fewer, optionally call in parallel:

| Step | MCP Tool | Parameters | Retrieved Data | Parallel | |------|----------|------------|----------------|----------| | 2 | info_markettrend_get_technical_analysis | symbol={symbol} | Technical signals: RSI, MACD, MA alignment, support/resistance | Yes |

Step 4: LLM Cross-Comparison Report Generation

Group all Tool responses by coin, and the LLM generates a side-by-side comparison report using the template below.

Report Template

## Coin Comparison: {symbol_1} vs {symbol_2} [vs {symbol_3} ...]

### 1. Key Metrics Comparison

| Metric | {symbol_1} | {symbol_2} | {symbol_3} |
|--------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Price | ${price_1} | ${price_2} | ${price_3} |
| 24h Change | {change_24h_1}% | {change_24h_2}% | {change_24h_3}% |
| 7d Change | {change_7d_1}% | {change_7d_2}% | {change_7d_3}% |
| Market Cap | ${mcap_1} | ${mcap_2} | ${mcap_3} |
| Market Cap Rank | #{rank_1} | #{rank_2} | #{rank_3} |
| FDV | ${fdv_1} | ${fdv_2} | ${fdv_3} |
| 24h Volume | ${vol_1} | ${vol_2} | ${vol_3} |
| Fear & Greed Index | {fg_1} | {fg_2} | {fg_3} |

### 2. Fundamentals Comparison

| Dimension | {symbol_1} | {symbol_2} | {symbol_3} |
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Sector | {category_1} | {category_2} | {category_3} |
| Total Funding | ${funding_1} | ${funding_2} | ${funding_3} |
| Key Investors | {investors_1} | {investors_2} | {investors_3} |
| Circulating Ratio | {circ_ratio_1}% | {circ_ratio_2}% | {circ_ratio_3}% |
| Upcoming Unlocks | {unlock_1} | {unlock_2} | {unlock_3} |

### 3. Technical Comparison (if available)

| Dimension | {symbol_1} | {symbol_2} | {symbol_3} |
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Overall Signal | {signal_1} | {signal_2} | {signal_3} |
| RSI(14) | {rsi_1} | {rsi_2} | {rsi_3} |
| MACD | {macd_1} | {macd_2} | {macd_3} |
| MA Alignment | {ma_1} | {ma_2} | {ma_3} |

### 4. Comparative Summary

{LLM generates a 3-5 sentence cross-comparison analysis covering:}
- Strengths and weaknesses of each coin across dimensions
- Which coin has stronger recent performance and which is weakening
- Whether fundamentals and market data align
- Differentiated risks to watch

### 5. Dimension-by-Dimension Winners

| Dimension | Best Performer | Weakest Performer | Notes |
|-----------|---------------|-------------------|-------|
| Short-term Gains | {best_1} | {worst_1} | ... |
| Market Cap / FDV Ratio | {best_2} | {worst_2} | ... |
| Funding Background | {best_3} | {worst_3} | ... |
| Technical Signals | {best_4} | {worst_4} | ... |

### ⚠️ Risk Warnings

{Risk differentials identified in the comparison, e.g.:}
- {symbol_x} has only {x}% circulating supply — significantly higher unlock pressure than peers
- {symbol_y} RSI is in overbought territory — higher short-term pullback risk than {symbol_z}
- {symbol_w} 24h volume is disproportionately low relative to market cap — liquidity disadvantage

Decision Logic

| Condition | Assessment | |-----------|------------| | 24h change difference > 10% between coins | Flag "Significant short-term performance divergence" | | FDV/Market Cap ratio for one coin > 2x others | Flag "Relatively elevated FDV — higher unlock risk" | | Circulating ratio < 30% | Flag "Low circulating ratio — future sell pressure risk" | | 24h volume / market cap < 1% | Flag "Low liquidity — slippage risk for large trades" | | RSI difference > 30 (one overbought, another oversold) | Flag "Technicals in opposite states — evaluate separately" | | Any Tool returns empty/error | Mark corresponding column as "Data unavailable"; display remaining coins normally | | Two coins are from entirely different sectors | Remind user: "Cross-sector comparison is for reference only — core value drivers differ significantly" |

---

Error Handling

| Error Type | Handling | |------------|----------| | A coin does not exist | Note the name may be incorrect; exclude it and continue comparing the rest | | Only 1 coin provided | Route to gate-info-coinanalysis (single coin analysis) | | More than 5 coins provided | Prompt user to narrow down to 5 or fewer, or suggest comparing in batches | | A coin's Tool times out | Skip that coin's dimension; mark as "Temporarily unavailable" in the table | | All Tools fail | Return error message; suggest the user try again later | | User inputs an address | Route to gate-info-addresstracker |

---

Cross-Skill Routing

| User Follow-up Intent | Route To | |-----------------------|----------| | "Give me a deep dive on SOL" | gate-info-coinanalysis | | "Show me SOL technicals in detail" | gate-info-trendanalysis | | "Any recent news for these coins?" | gate-news-briefing | | "Is SOL's contract safe?" | gate-info-riskcheck | | "Why did ETH pump but SOL didn't?" | gate-news-eventexplain | | "How about on-chain data comparison?" | gate-info-tokenonchain |

Available Tools & Degradation Notes

| PRD-Defined Tool | Actually Available Tool | Status | Degradation Strategy | |-----------------|-------------------------|--------|----------------------| | info_marketsnapshot_batch_market_snapshot | info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot | Degraded | Call get_market_snapshot per coin in parallel — no speed impact | | info_coin_search_coins | info_coin_get_coin_info | Degraded | Use get_coin_info with symbol query as substitute | | info_markettrend_get_technical_analysis | info_markettrend_get_technical_analysis | ✅ Ready | — |

Safety Rules

1. No investment advice: Comparative analysis is data-driven and must include a "not investment advice" disclaimer
2. No ranking recommendations: Do not output conclusions like "buy A instead of B" — only present data differences
3. No price predictions: Do not output specific target prices or up/down predictions
4. Data transparency: Label data source and update time for each dimension
5. Flag missing data: When any dimension has no data, explicitly mark "Data unavailable" — never fabricate data
6. Cross-sector reminder: When compared coins belong to different sectors, remind the user of fundamental logic differences
