Crypto Prices Skill

Crypto prices are the most-asked live number after weather, and two services answer keylessly: CoinGecko's public API (thousands of coins, market context, any quote currency) and Coinbase's spot endpoint (fast, reliable, majors only). This skill fetches, adds the 24-hour context that turns a number into information, and carries the caveat every crypto answer owes: this number is already stale, and it is not advice.

What This Skill Produces

• The price — stated first, in the asked currency, with 24h change alongside
• Context — 24h high/low or market-cap rank when the question implies "how's it doing"
• The command — exact curl, rerunnable
• The caveat — timestamped, volatile, informational-only

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

• The coin(s) — resolve names to CoinGecko ids (bitcoin, ethereum, solana…); for obscure tickers, search first: https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/search?query=name — ticker collisions are common and the wrong coin is a real failure mode
• Quote currency — usd default, but honor the user's (CoinGecko quotes in dozens: vs_currencies=eur,inr,jpy)
• Depth — a number, or market context (change, volume, rank)?
