crypto-prices
Fetch live cryptocurrency prices with zero API keys — CoinGecko's public endpoints primary, Coinbase spot fallback, via plain curl. Use when asked what's bitcoin at, ETH price in euros, how's the crypto market today, or price of some altcoin. Produces the current price with 24h context, the source and timestamp, the rerunnable command, and the volatility caveat that crypto answers must carry.
