Description
Bitcoin intelligence: fee recommendations, mempool status, price, block info, and address lookups via the Satoshi API. Zero config — no node required.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says: fetch public Bitcoin data from bitcoinsapi.com. Before installing, consider: 1) verify the provenance of the 'uv' brew formula (ensure it’s the expected tool) and that you trust bitcoinsapi.com for data and privacy policy; 2) the Python script lists httpx as a dependency but the install step does not install it—ensure you have Python (>=3.10) and httpx installed in the environment where 'uv run' executes; 3) no secrets should be sent to this skill — avoid pasting private keys or wallet seeds into the address command; and 4) if you’re concerned about autonomous calls to an external API, you can disable autonomous invocation or review calls in a sandboxed environment first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: satoshi-api
Version: 0.1.0
The satoshi-api skill provides Bitcoin network intelligence (fees, price, mempool status) by querying the public Satoshi API (bitcoinsapi.com). The implementation in scripts/satoshi_api.py is a straightforward Python script using the httpx library to perform GET requests, with no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or malicious instructions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match behavior: the script calls bitcoinsapi.com endpoints for fees, mempool, price, block, address, and halving information. No unrelated services, credentials, or system resources are requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the bundled Python script via the 'uv' binary; the runtime instructions only perform network requests to bitcoinsapi.com and print results. The instructions do not attempt to read arbitrary files, environment secrets, or other system state.
Install Mechanism
Install spec only installs a brew formula 'uv' which provides the required binary. This is a reasonable, limited install method. Minor packaging gap: the script declares a Python dependency (httpx) in its header but the install spec does not install Python or httpx — callers must ensure a compatible Python environment and httpx are available.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths. That is proportionate to simply calling a public HTTP API for read-only Bitcoin data.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-included and uses default autonomous-invocation behavior. It does not modify other skills or system-wide settings, and does not request elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install satoshi-api - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/satoshi-api - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
