name: gate-info-coincompare version: "2026.3.12-1" updated: "2026-03-12" description: "Coin comparison. Use this skill whenever the user asks to compare two or more coins. Trigger phrases include: compare, versus, vs, which is better, difference. MCP tools: info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot, info_coin_get_coin_info per coin (or batch/search when available)."

gate-info-coincompare

Side-by-side comparison Skill. The user inputs 2-5 coins, the system calls market snapshot + fundamentals tools for each coin in parallel, and the LLM aggregates multi-dimensional data into a comparison table with overall analysis.

Trigger Scenarios: User mentions two or more coins + keywords like compare, versus, vs, which is better, difference, head-to-head.

Routing Rules

User Intent	Keywords/Pattern	Action
Multi-coin comparison	"compare BTC and ETH" "SOL vs AVAX" "Layer2 coin comparison"	Execute this Skill's full workflow
Single coin analysis	"analyze SOL for me"	Route to gate-info-coinanalysis
Price only	"what's BTC price"	Call info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot directly
Sector overview	"how is the DeFi sector doing"	Route to gate-info-marketoverview
Ranking list	"top 10 coins by market cap"	info_coin_get_coin_rankings not yet available — prompt user to list specific coins to compare

---

Execution Workflow

Step 1: Intent Recognition & Parameter Extraction

Extract from user input:

• symbols[]: List of coins (2-5), e.g., [BTC, ETH, SOL]
• If the user mentions project names (e.g., Solana, Avalanche), map to ticker symbols
• If the user mentions a sector without specific coins (e.g., "which Layer2 coins are good"), prompt them to list 2-5 specific coins

Limits: Minimum 2, maximum 5. If more than 5, prompt user to narrow the scope. If only 1 coin, ask for at least one more or route to gate-info-coinanalysis.

Step 2: Call 2 MCP Tools per Coin in Parallel

For each symbol in the list, execute in parallel:

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data	Parallel
1a	info_marketsnapshot_get_market_snapshot	symbol={symbol}, timeframe="1d", source="spot"	Market data: real-time price, K-line summary, market cap, FDV, Fear & Greed Index	Yes
1b	info_coin_get_coin_info	query={symbol}	Fundamentals: project info, sector, funding, tokenomics	Yes

For 3 coins, this results in 6 parallel Tool calls with no dependencies. When info_marketsnapshot_batch_market_snapshot and info_coin_search_coins are available, prefer them; otherwise use per-coin calls above.

Step 3 (Optional): Technical Comparison

If the user explicitly requests technical comparison, or the number of coins is 3 or fewer, optionally call in parallel:

Step	MCP Tool	Parameters	Retrieved Data	Parallel
2	info_markettrend_get_technical_analysis	symbol={symbol}	Technical signals: RSI, MACD, MA alignment, support/resistance	Yes

Step 4: LLM Cross-Comparison Report Generation

Group all Tool responses by coin, and the LLM generates a side-by-side comparison report using the template below.

Report Template

## Coin Comparison: {symbol_1} vs {symbol_2} [vs {symbol_3} ...]

### 1. Key Metrics Comparison

| Metric | {symbol_1} | {symbol_2} | {symbol_3} |
|--------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Price | ${price_1} | ${price_2} | ${price_3} |
| 24h Change | {change_24h_1}% | {change_24h_2}% | {change_24h_3}% |
| 7d Change | {change_7d_1}% | {change_7d_2}% | {change_7d_3}% |
| Market Cap | ${mcap_1} | ${mcap_2} | ${mcap_3} |
| Market Cap Rank | #{rank_1} | #{rank_2} | #{rank_3} |
| FDV | ${fdv_1} | ${fdv_2} | ${fdv_3} |
| 24h Volume | ${vol_1} | ${vol_2} | ${vol_3} |
| Fear & Greed Index | {fg_1} | {fg_2} | {fg_3} |

### 2. Fundamentals Comparison

| Dimension | {symbol_1} | {symbol_2} | {symbol_3} |
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Sector | {category_1} | {category_2} | {category_3} |
| Total Funding | ${funding_1} | ${funding_2} | ${funding_3} |
| Key Investors | {investors_1} | {investors_2} | {investors_3} |
| Circulating Ratio | {circ_ratio_1}% | {circ_ratio_2}% | {circ_ratio_3}% |
| Upcoming Unlocks | {unlock_1} | {unlock_2} | {unlock_3} |

### 3. Technical Comparison (if available)

| Dimension | {symbol_1} | {symbol_2} | {symbol_3} |
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----------|
| Overall Signal | {signal_1} | {signal_2} | {signal_3} |
| RSI(14) | {rsi_1} | {rsi_2} | {rsi_3} |
| MACD | {macd_1} | {macd_2} | {macd_3} |
| MA Alignment | {ma_1} | {ma_2} | {ma_3} |

### 4. Comparative Summary

{LLM generates a 3-5 sentence cross-comparison analysis covering:}
- Strengths and weaknesses of each coin across dimensions
- Which coin has stronger recent performance and which is weakening
- Whether fundamentals and market data align
- Differentiated risks to watch

### 5. Dimension-by-Dimension Winners

| Dimension | Best Performer | Weakest Performer | Notes |
|-----------|---------------|-------------------|-------|
| Short-term Gains | {best_1} | {worst_1} | ... |
| Market Cap / FDV Ratio | {best_2} | {worst_2} | ... |
| Funding Background | {best_3} | {worst_3} | ... |
| Technical Signals | {best_4} | {worst_4} | ... |

### ⚠️ Risk Warnings

{Risk differentials identified in the comparison, e.g.:}
- {symbol_x} has only {x}% circulating supply — significantly higher unlock pressure than peers
- {symbol_y} RSI is in overbought territory — higher short-term pullback risk than {symbol_z}
- {symbol_w} 24h volume is disproportionately low relative to market cap — liquidity disadvantage

Decision Logic

Condition	Assessment
24h change difference > 10% between coins	Flag "Significant short-term performance divergence"
FDV/Market Cap ratio for one coin > 2x others	Flag "Relatively elevated FDV — higher unlock risk"
Circulating ratio < 30%	Flag "Low circulating ratio — future sell pressure risk"
24h volume / market cap < 1%	Flag "Low liquidity — slippage risk for large trades"
RSI difference > 30 (one overbought, another oversold)	Flag "Technicals in opposite states — evaluate separately"
Any Tool returns empty/error	Mark corresponding column as "Data unavailable"; display remaining coins normally
Two coins are from entirely different sectors	Remind user: "Cross-sector comparison is for reference only — core value drivers differ significantly"

---

Error Handling

Error Type	Handling
A coin does not exist	Note the name may be incorrect; exclude it and continue comparing the rest
Only 1 coin provided	Route to gate-info-coinanalysis (single coin analysis)
More than 5 coins provided	Prompt user to narrow down to 5 or fewer, or suggest comparing in batches
A coin's Tool times out	Skip that coin's dimension; mark as "Temporarily unavailable" in the table
All Tools fail	Return error message; suggest the user try again later
User inputs an address	Route to gate-info-addresstracker

Cross-Skill Routing

User Follow-up Intent	Route To
"Give me a deep dive on SOL"	gate-info-coinanalysis
"Show me SOL technicals in detail"	gate-info-trendanalysis
"Any recent news for these coins?"	gate-news-briefing
"Is SOL's contract safe?"	gate-info-riskcheck
"Why did ETH pump but SOL didn't?"	gate-news-eventexplain
"How about on-chain data comparison?"	gate-info-tokenonchain

Safety Rules

1. No investment advice: Comparative analysis is data-driven and must include a "not investment advice" disclaimer
2. No ranking recommendations: Do not output conclusions like "buy A instead of B" — only present data differences
3. No price predictions: Do not output specific target prices or up/down predictions
4. Data transparency: Label data source and update time for each dimension
5. Flag missing data: When any dimension has no data, explicitly mark "Data unavailable" — never fabricate data
6. Cross-sector reminder: When compared coins belong to different sectors, remind the user of fundamental logic differences
