Hive Skills

May 31, 2026 · View on GitHub

Live crypto, wallet, token, DeFi, DEX, NFT, Solana, security, market, and prediction-market workflows for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any agent — powered by the Hive Intelligence MCP server.

Install

npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills        # all skills

Install a single skill, non-interactively, or for a specific agent:

npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --skill hive-token-diligence --yes
npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --skill hive-query --agent claude-code
npx skills add hive-intel/hive-skills --list   # browse without installing

Skills are also bundled in the hive-intelligence npm package (npx -y -p hive-intelligence@latest hive init --all --browser) and installable as a Claude plugin via the bundled .claude-plugin/plugin.json.

Prerequisites

Hosted Hive MCP (default): https://mcp.hiveintelligence.xyz/mcp — works with a single Hive API key, no provider setup. Start with the hive-mcp skill to wire it up, or hive-build-onboarding to get a key.
Local stdio / self-host: optional, for your own provider keys — the hive-mcp skill covers both paths.

Skill catalog

Setup and Build

Skills for installing Hive MCP, getting API keys, using the Hive CLI, and integrating Hive into application code.

Skill	Use when
`hive-mcp`	Add Hive's MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or Gemini CLI. Per-client instructions.
`hive-build-onboarding`	Walk the user through PKCE-based browser auth. Use when the user has no API key or cannot find theirs.
`hive-cli`	Use the `hive` CLI inline from a chat — query prices, scan wallets, check token security, automate briefings.
`hive-build`	Integrate Hive into app code via REST or MCP SDK. Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, Rust patterns with retry / async / typed responses.

Discovery and Routing

Skills that teach agents how to discover task toolsets, inspect schemas, and execute bounded Hive MCP calls.

Skill	Use when
`hive-query`	Route crypto questions through canonical task toolsets, schema lookup, and exact tool invocation.
`hive-tool-discovery`	Find the right Hive tool, task toolset, schema, or endpoint before execution.

Crypto Research Workflows

Focused workflows for market, token, wallet, security, DEX, DeFi, NFT, Solana, network, prediction-market, and stateful monitoring analysis.

Skill	Use when
`hive-market-research`	Research live prices, liquidity, exchanges, OHLC, order books, funding rates, and derivatives.
`hive-token-diligence`	Investigate token metadata, market context, liquidity, holders, enrichment, and risk.
`hive-wallet-investigation`	Inspect wallet balances, transfers, NFTs, PnL, DeFi positions, and notable activity.
`hive-security-risk`	Check token, approval, address, dApp, phishing, contract, and simulation risk.
`hive-dex-pool-analysis`	Analyze pools, pairs, liquidity, trades, OHLCV, and DEX flow.
`hive-defi-research`	Analyze DeFi protocols, TVL, fees, revenue, stablecoins, bridges, and yields.
`hive-nft-research`	Research NFT collections, ownership, metadata, floors, sales, rarity, and spam checks.
`hive-solana-analysis`	Analyze Solana wallets, SPL accounts, DAS assets, parsed transactions, and priority fees.
`hive-network-infrastructure`	Read chain state, gas, blocks, receipts, logs, transaction status, and RPC diagnostics.
`hive-prediction-markets`	Research prediction markets, events, outcomes, market stats, traders, holders, and trades.
`hive-stateful-monitoring`	Create, list, update, and archive durable crypto monitors, alerts, scheduled reports, and agent memory.

Try it

Once installed, skills activate when the agent detects a relevant task. Each example shows the phrasing that routes to a given skill:

Ask your agent	Routes to
"What is the price and 24h change for ETH right now?"	`hive-query`
"Is the token at 0x6982… safe to ape? Run diligence."	`hive-token-diligence`
"Trace where this wallet's funds came from on Ethereum."	`hive-wallet-investigation`
"What's the BTC perp funding-rate picture across exchanges?"	`hive-market-research`
"Show the top DeFi protocols by TVL and 7d fees."	`hive-defi-research`
"Add Hive to Cursor and verify it works."	`hive-mcp`

Answers should report provider provenance, data freshness, and runtime status.

How it works

Each skill follows the Agent Skills spec: a SKILL.md with YAML name + description and progressive disclosure — metadata loads at startup, full instructions load on activation, deeper detail lives in references/. Every Hive skill preserves the same loop: discovery → schema lookup → bounded execution → diagnostics → provenance-aware answer.

Trust & provenance

Data trust is the product. Skills surface the source provider, freshness, and degraded/cached/rate-limited runtime states in grounded answers, and avoid silently mixing provider data. Missing provider keys return a classified missing_key state rather than a wrong answer.
