optimizing-gas-fees

Optimize blockchain gas costs by analyzing prices, patterns, and timing. Use when checking gas prices, estimating costs, or finding optimal windows. Trigger with phrases like "gas prices", "optimize gas", "transaction cost", "when to transact".

Optimizing Gas Fees

Overview

Gas fee optimization skill that:

  • Fetches real-time gas prices from multiple sources
  • Estimates transaction costs in ETH and USD
  • Analyzes historical patterns to find optimal timing
  • Predicts future gas prices
  • Compares gas across multiple chains

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.8+ with requests library
  • Network access to RPC endpoints
  • Optional: ETHERSCAN_API_KEY for higher rate limits
  • Optional: Custom RPC URLs via environment variables

Instructions

  1. Check current gas prices (optionally for a specific chain):
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py current
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py current --chain polygon
    
  2. Estimate transaction cost for known operations or custom gas limits (available operations: eth_transfer, erc20_transfer, erc20_approve, uniswap_v2_swap, uniswap_v3_swap, sushiswap_swap, curve_swap, nft_mint, nft_transfer, opensea_listing, aave_deposit, aave_withdraw, compound_supply, compound_borrow, bridge_deposit):
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py estimate --operation uniswap_v2_swap --all-tiers
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py estimate --gas-limit 150000 --tier fast  # 150000 = configured value
    
  3. Find the optimal transaction window with lowest expected gas:
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py optimal
    
  4. View gas patterns (hourly or daily):
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py patterns
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py patterns --daily
    
  5. Predict future gas prices for a given hour:
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py predict --time 14
    
  6. Compare gas prices across multiple chains:
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py compare
    
  7. View base fee history for recent blocks:
    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts && python3 gas_optimizer.py history --blocks 50
    

Output

  • Current: Base fee, priority fee, and tier prices (slow/standard/fast/instant)
  • Estimate: Gas cost in native token and USD for each tier
  • Patterns: Historical hourly/daily patterns with low-gas markers
  • Optimal: Recommended transaction window with expected savings
  • Predict: Gas forecast for specific time with confidence
  • Compare: Side-by-side gas prices across chains

cache-components

Expert guidance for Next.js Cache Components and Partial Prerendering (PPR). **PROACTIVE ACTIVATION**: Use this skill automatically when working in Next.js projects that have `cacheComponents: true` in their next.config.ts/next.config.js. When this config is detected, proactively apply Cache Components patterns and best practices to all React Server Component implementations. **DETECTION**: At the start of a session in a Next.js project, check for `cacheComponents: true` in next.config. If enabled, this skill's patterns should guide all component authoring, data fetching, and caching decisions. **USE CASES**: Implementing 'use cache' directive, configuring cache lifetimes with cacheLife(), tagging cached data with cacheTag(), invalidating caches with updateTag()/revalidateTag(), optimizing static vs dynamic content boundaries, debugging cache issues, and reviewing Cache Component implementations.
