What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Find and compare DeFi yield opportunities across protocols with APY calculations, risk assessment, and optimization recommendations. Use when searching for yield farming opportunities, comparing DeFi protocols, or analyzing APY/APR rates. Trigger with phrases like "find DeFi yields", "compare APY", "best yield farming", "optimize DeFi returns", "stablecoin yields", or "liquidity pool rates".

Optimizing DeFi Yields

Overview

Find and compare DeFi yield opportunities across protocols. 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

Search for yield opportunities across all chains or filter by a specific chain:

python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --top 20
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum --top 10

Filter by criteria -- minimum TVL (for safety), asset type, or protocol:

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

Apply risk filters -- show only audited protocols or filter by risk level (--risk low, --risk medium, --risk high):

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

Analyze specific opportunities -- get detailed pool breakdown or compare protocols:

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

Export results to JSON or CSV for further analysis:

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

Error Handling

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/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 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md for detailed usage examples.

Quick Examples

Find stablecoin yields:

python yield_optimizer.py --asset USDC,USDT,DAI --min-tvl 10000000  # 10000000 = 10M limit

Low-risk opportunities:

python yield_optimizer.py --risk low --audited-only --min-apy 2

Multi-chain search:

python yield_optimizer.py --chain ethereum,arbitrum,polygon --top 20

Export top yields:

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
