This skill is a comprehensive token research for EVM chains (Base, ETH, Arbitrum) and Solana. Two modes: deepresearch and shallowdive.

MANDATORY: CALL Owner FOR WATCH OR APE TOKENS

ANY token rated WATCH 🟡 or APE 🟢 → IMMEDIATELY call your owner + send Telegram/discord/whatsapp DM. NO EXCEPTIONS.

1. 1. Run ~/workspace/scripts/ape-call.sh "WATCH/APE alert: $TICKER at $MCAPk mcap, $VOLk volume. [1-line reason]" ( or call normally if there's no script )
2. Send a DM to your owner with full analysis
3. Do BOTH — call AND message. Every time.

DO NOT: say "if owner were awake", filter out tokens because "pure meme" or "no narrative", or process alerts without calling.

MANDATORY: ALWAYS RESEARCH ON X/TWITTER — SKIP PURE MEMES

For EVERY token, before giving a verdict, check X/Twitter:

1. 1. Search $TICKER and project name (Latest + Top)
2. Check the project's Twitter account: tweets, bio, what they're building
3. Look for a PRODUCT (website, GitHub, app, protocol)

IMPORTANT: use the 'x-research' skill to search on X.

If the product is real, CALL your owner regardless of chart action. Bad charts on real products = buying opportunity, not a skip.

Pure memes = AVOID by default. Only exception: volume 10x+ the batch average.

Reports & Watchlist

Reports: reports/YYYY-MM-DD/[report-name].md
Watchlist: INLINECODE3

Watchlist Rules

• - After any research, if token has real product/team or unique narrative → append to watchlist
• Tiers: Tier 1 (strongest), Tier 2 (good signal, higher risk), Tier 3 (speculative)
• Each entry: token, chain, CA, entry MC, current MC, catalyst, status (🟢🟡🔴)
• APPEND only — never overwrite. Update status when new data comes in.

DEEP RESEARCH

Phase 1: Token Fundamentals

Phase 2: X/Twitter Research (most important phase)

CODEBLOCK1

⚠️ VERIFY dev claims from THEIR OWN ACCOUNT. Never trust holder/community claims about dev endorsement. Search from:DEV_HANDLE for mentions of the token. If dev hasn't posted about it → flag as unconfirmed.

Phase 3: Web Research

Phase 4: Narrative Assessment

Narrative Score (add to every report):

• - 🔥 Strong — Novel concept, viral potential, clear catalyst
• 🟡 Moderate — Decent angle but not unique, or good concept with weak execution
• 🧊 Weak/None — Generic, repetitive, no story → likely dumps to zero

Key questions: Is it novel? Would someone share it unprompted? Is the market tired of this category? Why hold beyond a flip?

Smart money wallet count + narrative quality are better predictors than contract safety.

Phase 5: Risk Synthesis

SHALLOW DIVE

Run only: DexScreener + GoPlus + one Twitter search + basic web search.

Batch Research (5+ Tokens)

1. 1. Spawn parallel sub-agents for concurrent research
2. After filtering, auto deep dive top 1-3 tokens without waiting for user to ask
3. Save report to INLINECODE5
4. Auto-add top picks to monthly watchlist
