Aggregates data from DeFiLlama and other sources to provide APY/APR comparisons, risk assessments, and optimization recommendations for yield farming strategies. ## Prerequisites Before using this skill, ensure you have: - Python 3.8+ installed - Internet access for API queries - Understanding of DeFi concepts (APY, APR, TVL, impermanent loss) ## Instructions 1. Search for yield opportunities across all chains or filter by a specific chain: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 20 python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --top 10 ``` 2. Filter by criteria -- minimum TVL (for safety), asset type, or protocol: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --min-tvl 10000000 --top 15 # 10000000 = 10M limit python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC --chain ethereum python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --protocol aave,compound,curve ``` 3. Apply risk filters -- show only audited protocols or filter by risk level (`--risk low`, `--risk medium`, `--risk high`): ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --audited-only --min-tvl 1000000 # 1000000 = 1M limit python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --risk low --min-apy 3 ``` 4. Analyze specific opportunities -- get detailed pool breakdown or compare protocols: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --pool "aave-v3-usdc-ethereum" --detailed python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --compare aave,compound,spark --asset USDC ``` 5. Export results to JSON or CSV for further analysis: ```bash python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 50 --format json --output yields.json python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --format csv --output eth_yields.csv ``` ## Output ### Yield Summary Table ``` ============================================================================== DEFI YIELD OPTIMIZER 2026-01-15 15:30 UTC # 2026 year ============================================================================== TOP YIELD OPPORTUNITIES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protocol Pool Chain TVL APY Risk Score Convex cvxCRV Ethereum $450M 12.5% Low 9.2 Aave v3 USDC Ethereum $2.1B 4.2% Low 9.8 Curve 3pool Ethereum $890M 3.8% Low 9.5 Compound v3 USDC Ethereum $1.5B 3.2% Low 9.6 Yearn yvUSDC Ethereum $120M 5.1% Medium 7.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ APY BREAKDOWN (Top Result) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Base APY: 4.5% Reward APY: 8.0% (CRV + CVX) Total APY: 12.5% IL Risk: None (single-sided) ============================================================================== ``` ### Risk Assessment ``` RISK ANALYSIS: Convex cvxCRV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Audit Status: ✓ Audited (Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin) Protocol Age: 3+ years TVL: $450M (stable) TVL Trend: +5% (30d) Risk Score: 9.2/10 (Low Risk) Risk Factors: • Smart contract dependency on Curve • CRV/CVX reward token volatility • Vote-lock mechanics ============================================================================== ``` ## Error Handling See [`references/errors.md`](references/errors.md) for comprehensive error handling. Common issues: - **API timeout**: Uses cached data with staleness warning - **No pools found**: Broaden search criteria - **Invalid protocol**: Check supported protocols list ## Examples See [`references/examples.md`](references/examples.md) for detailed usage examples. ### Quick Examples **Find stablecoin yields**: ```bash python yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC,USDT,DAI --min-tvl 10000000 # 10000000 = 10M limit ``` **Low-risk opportunities**: ```bash python yield_optimizer.py --risk low --audited-only --min-apy 2 ``` **Multi-chain search**: ```bash python yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum,arbitrum,polygon --top 20 ``` **Export top yields**: ```bash python yield_optimizer.py --top 100 --format json --output all_yields.json ``` ## Configuration Settings in `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/config/settings.yaml`: - **Default chain**: Primary chain to search - **Cache TTL**: How long to cache API responses - **Risk weights**: Customize risk scoring factors - **Min TVL default**: Default minimum TVL filter ## Resources - DeFiLlama: https://defillama.com/yields - Yield data source - DeFi Safety: - Protocol security scores - Impermanent Loss Calculator: Understand LP risks --- Source attribution: jeremylongshore Original project: https://github.com/jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills/blob/ab85a061f7bcc039dac13ee193de7a4cd4388571/plugins/crypto/defi-yield-optimizer/skills/optimizing-defi-yields/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2024-2026 Jeremy Longshore & Contributors Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
