Binance.US Briefing Engine

Generate account-aware Binance.US briefings. This skill is only valuable when it ties the market back to the user's own account.

This repository is a Binance.US skill family:

• root SKILL.md: flagship market-brief skill
• nested SKILL.md files: installable companion skills for research, funding, trading, and account status

If you want to discover the full family from the repo, use:

npx skills add cmeiliu/binance-us-skills --list --full-depth

If you want to install a nested companion skill, use --full-depth --skill <name>.

When Not To Use

• explicit funding workflows
• spot-trade execution reviews
• account-status troubleshooting
• deep single-asset diligence after the user already picked a coin

The bundled script should prefer:

• price-anchored output over percent-only output
• 24h plus 7-day framing over single-window commentary
• market context before portfolio-specific conclusions
• upcoming catalysts, not just backward-looking news
• ranked, de-duplicated news tied to held or watched assets
• a concrete next step over generic portfolio CTA text
• a conversational advisor tone over compliance-report wording
• explicit watchlist gaps and idle-cash framing when those would prompt action

Use This Skill For

• "Give me a personalized market summary"
• "What matters for my Binance.US account today?"
• "Summarize my watchlist"
• "Give me a portfolio brief"
• "Do I have idle cash or concentration risk?"
• "What changed since my recent trades?"
• "Give me a capital readiness check"
• "Give me a weekly reset"

Core Rule

Prefer account-aware output over generic market commentary.

When credentials are available, use:

• current balances
• recent trading history
• watchlist or configured priority assets
• deposit history when useful
• recent headlines for owned, watched, or recently traded assets

If credentials are unavailable, the script can still produce a limited market-only brief, but it should say so clearly.

How To Run

Run the bundled script:

python3 scripts/binance_us_brief.py --mode daily_brief --format both

Common variants:

python3 scripts/binance_us_brief.py --mode portfolio_brief --format text
python3 scripts/binance_us_brief.py --mode watchlist_brief --watchlist BTC,ETH,SOL
python3 scripts/binance_us_brief.py --mode opportunity_alert --alert-threshold-pct 5
python3 scripts/binance_us_brief.py --mode capital_readiness --format text
python3 scripts/binance_us_brief.py --mode asset_research --asset BTC --format text
python3 scripts/binance_us_brief.py init-config

Install Behavior

• For local development, prefer the default install behavior without --copy so OpenClaw uses a symlink and picks up local repo changes immediately.
• For GitHub or copied installs, use npx skills update to pull the latest published version.
• The rendered brief includes a version/update nudge for copied installs so stale snapshots are easier to spot.

Credentials

The script will look for Binance.US credentials in this order:

1. Environment variables:
   • BINANCE_US_API_KEY
   • BINANCE_US_SECRET_KEY
2. ~/.openclaw/secrets.env
3. ~/.env
4. .env in the current workspace

The script reads only specific keys and does not print raw secrets.

Optional Config

The script supports a small JSON config at:

~/.openclaw/binance-us-briefing-engine.json

Create it with:

python3 scripts/binance_us_brief.py init-config

Useful fields:

• watchlist
• quote_assets
• quiet_hours
• recent_days
• portfolio_currency
• alert_threshold_pct

Recommended Workflow

1. Run daily_brief for a broad summary tied to balances and recent trades.
2. Run portfolio_brief when the user wants account impact, concentration, or idle cash context.
3. Run watchlist_brief when the user asks about tracked assets.
4. Use recent news headlines to explain why those assets matter today.
5. Run capital_readiness to connect market setup to account readiness without sounding like a product push.
6. Run opportunity_alert for trigger-style checks on owned, watched, or recently traded assets.
7. Run weekly_reset for a slower, portfolio-aware recap.
8. Run asset_research when a brief surfaces a setup that needs deeper, structured follow-up.
9. Hand off to binance-us-fund-account, binance-us-spot-trade, or binance-us-account-status when the user is past the briefing stage and needs an operational workflow.

Output Contract

The script returns:

• JSON only
• text only
• or both

The JSON output is the source of truth. The text output is the delivery-ready rendering.

Guardrails

• Treat the brief as informational, not financial advice.
• Never claim certainty or guaranteed returns.
• Do not place trades automatically.
• If the user requests an action after reading the brief, handle that as a separate explicit step.
• This skill is read-only. It does not place orders, move funds, or change account settings.
• Allowed outbound domains are limited to:
  • api.binance.us
  • news.google.com
