Tracking Crypto Portfolio

Overview

Track cryptocurrency holdings with real-time CoinGecko valuations, allocation analysis, P&L tracking, and concentration risk alerts.

Prerequisites

1. Python 3.8+ installed
2. Dependencies:

   pip install requests

3. Internet connectivity for CoinGecko API access
4. A portfolio JSON file with your holdings (see

   references/implementation.md

   for format)

Instructions

1. Assess user intent - determine what portfolio view is needed:

   • Quick check: total value and top holdings
   • Holdings list: full breakdown of all positions
   • Detailed analysis: allocations, P&L, risk flags
   • Export: JSON or CSV for external tools

2. Run the portfolio tracker with appropriate options:

   # Quick portfolio summary
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/portfolio_tracker.py --portfolio holdings.json
   
   # Full holdings breakdown
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/portfolio_tracker.py --portfolio holdings.json --holdings
   
   # Detailed analysis with P&L and allocations
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/portfolio_tracker.py --portfolio holdings.json --detailed
   

3. Export results for analysis tools or tax reporting:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/portfolio_tracker.py --portfolio holdings.json --format json --output portfolio_export.json
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/portfolio_tracker.py --portfolio holdings.json --format csv --output portfolio.csv
   

4. Present results to the user:

   • Show total portfolio value prominently
   • Highlight 24h and 7d changes
   • Explain allocation percentages
   • Flag any concentration risks (positions > 25% allocation by default)

Output

Summary showing total value, 24h/7d changes, per-asset allocation, and concentration warnings for positions exceeding threshold:
