## What it does

This is a script-mode skill. It does not register as Anthropic tools; instead everything lives in one `exports.py`. The agent reads `SKILL.md`, runs `python` inside `bash`, and imports what it needs after `sys.path.insert(0, "/data/workspace/skills/defillama")`.

Inside are wrappers over the DefiLlama API: `protocols`, `chains`, `protocol_tvl`, `yield_pools`, `dex_overview`, `fees_overview`, `revenue_overview`, `stablecoins`, `bridges`, `treasury`. Free endpoints sit on `https://api.llama.fi` and need no key. Pro endpoints, such as yields and emissions, want `DEFILLAMA_API_KEY` placed in the URL path rather than an HTTP header.

With a fake key, calls have to pass through sc-proxy so the key can be swapped upstream. `PROXY_HOST` and `PROXY_PORT` point the session at that proxy; skip them and a direct request returns a key error. The pro half simply will not answer.
