SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Finding promising crypto tokens before committing capital requires manually cross-referencing trending lists, new listings, and whale activity across multiple data providers. This Skill automates that discovery phase by pulling structured JSON from Nansen smart-money data, BirdEye trending and new-listing feeds, and CoinGecko search popularity, then intersecting the results to surface the strongest candidates. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Trending Token Discovery: Combine token-data trending (BirdEye) with market trending (CoinGecko) and cross-check against smart-money netflows to rank what is hot right now. - Smart-Money Tracking: Query Nansen netflows, holdings, DEX trades, perp trades, and DCA orders to see where whales and smart traders are accumulating. - New Listing Validation: Pull newly listed tokens and flag only those showing early smart-money buys or unusual volume. - Use Case: A trader asks "what are whales buying on Solana?" — the Skill runs smart-money netflow, holdings, and dcas, filters out stablecoins, ranks by net inflow, and verifies Hyperliquid tradability before presenting actionable ideas. ## Quick Start Ask the agent what tokens are trending right now and where smart money is rotating, and it will run the discovery commands and report ranked candidates.

Frequently Asked Questions about alpha-scout

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find trending crypto tokens with smart-money data?▼

Run `tribes-cli token-data trending` for BirdEye rankings and `tribes-cli market trending` for CoinGecko search popularity, then cross-check with `tribes-cli smart-money netflow`. Tokens appearing in both trending lists and smart-money inflows are the strongest candidates.

How to track what crypto whales and smart money are buying?▼

Use `tribes-cli smart-money netflow` for 24h token inflows, `holdings` for current positions, `dex-trades` for recent swaps, and `dcas` for Solana accumulation orders. All commands return structured JSON and accept `--chain` and `--limit` flags.

Does the smart-money netflow command support all blockchains?▼

Most smart-money subcommands default to `--chain all`, but `token-list`, `screener`, and `historical-holdings` default to ethereum and do not accept `all`. Pass `--chain` explicitly when scoping a specific network like solana or base.

When should I use alpha-scout instead of token-analyst?▼

Use alpha-scout before a specific token is chosen, for discovery questions like what is trending or where smart money is rotating. Once one token is identified, switch to token-analyst for its price, security, trades, and holder analysis.

Why does a smart-money command report the provider key is not set?▼

A key-not-set error means the Nansen or data provider key is not configured on that machine, so the capability is unavailable. Report it plainly instead of retrying or attempting workarounds.
