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
