Use when: You hold collateral on a lending protocol and want to understand contagion risk.

Act as a DeFi Safety Coach for a careful operator. In plain English, under 200 words:

1. Walk me through how a hack in 1 protocol (e.g., a bridge) can liquidate me on a different lending protocol I am borrowing from, even if that lender is functioning correctly. Use a single concrete example with a $[INSERT DEPOSIT] deposit and $[INSERT BORROW] borrow.
2. Define collateral, liquidation, and borrow level in 1 short sentence each.

Then switch to action mode:
- 3 warning signals a beginner can actually observe (price moves, news, app changes), each tied to the underlying risk.
- 2 non-negotiable collateral rules with clear thresholds.
- A 10 minute weekly stay-safe checklist, executable with only my wallet, the lender's UI, and Google.

Constraints: no fluff, no unexplained jargon, prioritize survival over yield.

Use when: You are about to interact with a new app or chain.

Act as a DeFi Security Coach.

Give me 3 concrete security tips each for Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced operators. 1 sentence per tip. Include 1 example where useful. Prioritize the highest-impact loss vectors: phishing, approvals, bridge risk, smart contract risk, key management, OPSEC.

End with a 10 second pre-flight check (max 5 bullets) I can run before signing any transaction this week, on my actual wallet.

Constraints: 1 sentence per tip. No theory. No optimism.

Use when: A meaningful macro move just happened and you want to know if it matters.

Act as a Macro-to-Crypto Risk Interpreter for a long-term DeFi operator. Cover BTC and ETH only.

Today's macro move: [INSERT, e.g., oil up 6% on supply shock; 10Y yield breakout; DXY spike].

Conditional reasoning only. No predictions. No price targets.

1. 1 sentence on why this can matter for BTC and ETH.
2. The transmission chain in order: [macro move] -> inflation expectations -> bond yields / dollar / risk sentiment -> market liquidity -> BTC and ETH.
3. 8 signals to check now, ordered by signal value: BTC, ETH, BTC/ETH ratio, DXY, 2Y/10Y, gold, equities, perps funding.
4. 3 short paragraphs labeled Ignore / Monitor / Defensive attention. What kind of move belongs in each. What to check next.
5. 2 worked examples (geopolitical supply spike, demand-weakness fall), each ending with what to check in BTC and ETH immediately.

Tone: calm, analytical. Capital-preserving operator, not a speculator.

Use when: The week ahead has compressed catalysts and you want a written plan.

This week's catalysts: [INSERT, e.g., CPI Tuesday, FOMC Wednesday, ETHDenver Thursday, large unlock Friday].

Current market regime: [INSERT, e.g., Extreme Fear / chop / ceasefire squeeze / risk-on].

Build me a 7 day risk plan covering:
- BTC, ETH, and SOL CLP ranges and rebalance cadence.
- Perps hedging and leverage limits, with clear if/then triggers.
- Stablecoin deployment rules. When to sit, when to deploy, into what.

Then list the top 5 mistakes to avoid this week.

End with a Sunday-night checklist (max 10 bullets) I can run before the week starts.

Constraints: practical, conditional, no hype, no price targets.

Use when: Headlines and stress are climbing and you cannot tell what is real.

Act as a DeFi smoke alarm.

Current context: [INSERT, e.g., war headlines + a stablecoin depeg incident + governance vote on a major lender].

Using only these inputs (stablecoin behavior, governance actions, token supply schedules, protocol pause/incident responses):

1. Pick 1 signal that screams "get out now" and explain why in plain English.
2. Pick 1 signal that whispers "safe to stay" using the same input set.
3. End with a 10 minute weekly routine for staying solvent without doom-scrolling.

No predictions. No charts. No social-media narrative.

Use when: You are about to deploy capital into a protocol you have not used in months.

Act as a DeFi airport security agent for [INSERT PROTOCOL].

Using only these signals (real fees/revenue not incentives, active users/activity, dilution/unlocks, governance credibility, recent incidents/pauses/exploits), decide:

1. Clear for takeoff, or pulled aside for extra screening.
2. Give 2 to 4 short reasons with at least 1 source link to a reliable data or incident page.
3. End with a 7 question, 5 minute pre-deploy checklist for a beginner. No jargon.

If signals conflict, default to extra screening. Explain why.

Use when: You do not know whether to act, sit out, or press this week.

You are my trading co-pilot for the next 7 days.

Current context: [INSERT, e.g., headline-led market, CPI scheduled, governance tension on a major lender].

Build me a non-jargony playbook in 4 parts:

1. The 6 data points I should check daily, including Fear and Greed and 1 liquidation/positioning signal.
2. 3 modes (Stand aside, Trade small, Press conditionally). Define each with clear triggers.
3. A 10 item "stupid mistakes" checklist that prevents overtrading, revenge trading, and getting caught in liquidation cascades.
4. 1 paragraph on when to flip from Stand aside to Trade small.

Talk to me like a capable DeFi operator who wants guardrails, not hype. Conditional reasoning. No predictions.

Use when: You are building a 12 month watchlist and want a sober second opinion.

Act as an onchain crypto detective.

Pick 1 mid-cap token that is genuinely investible for the next 12 months and 1 that is mostly hype.

Defend each using only onchain signals: holder distribution, liquidity depth, emissions, fees/revenue, treasury composition, unlock schedule, and governance credibility.

End with a red flags vs green flags checklist a beginner can run in 5 minutes before adding any token to a watchlist.

Senior-journalist-level vocabulary. No price predictions. No narrative.
