ELI5 to Skills - Etherscan

Skills are instructions to teach AI models how to do a specific task, step by step. As a dev/product, you would outline a plan to build a portfolio tracker roughly around these steps

Fetch native token balances (like ETH for Ethereum)
Fetch raw ERC20 token balances and USD price
Format the token values by multipling the raw values by decimal places
Sort tokens by the largest USD value
Sum all USD values to get a net worth

Having built many of these features ourselves for Etherscan, we’ve created specific steps and common gotchas in our Skills instructions. No more excuses for skill issue!
