bankr — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
The skill connects an agent to Bankr for crypto actions through the CLI or API, including balances, swaps, transfers, NFTs, and market data.
npx skills add BankrBot/skills --skill bankr -a claude-codeWhat bankr does
bankr gives an agent access to Bankr wallet and market operations. It can check balances and PnL, swap or send tokens, handle tokenized stocks, NFTs, perpetuals, and prediction markets. The same integration covers token prices, research, Merkl rewards, token launches, order automation, transactions, and the LLM gateway.
The skill includes SKILL.md and files under references/; installing only SKILL.md breaks the links to those materials. It can work through the bankr CLI or the REST API. The CLI handles login, job polling, and confirmations.
A bk_... API key is needed when the host does not provide one. Login can use email or an existing key. Because the skill can sign and submit transactions, check the key mode before using it: --read-only keeps the key for research and monitoring.
What it helps with
- check a wallet balance and PnL
- swap or send tokens
- look up a token price and research it
- buy, sell, or mint an NFT
- automate orders and transactions
Example prompts for the agent
- Check my wallet balance and PnL through Bankr.
- Swap tokens on Base and show the transaction details.
- Research this token and report its current price.
