[BOUNTY: 15 RTC] Create a Claude Code Slash Command That Checks RustChain Balance

[Scottcjn]

Claude Code Slash Command: /rtc-balance

Reward: 15 RTC (~$1.50 USD)

Goal

Build a Claude Code custom slash command that lets any developer check their RustChain wallet balance without leaving the terminal.

Usage

/rtc-balance my-wallet-name

Output:

Wallet: my-wallet-name
Balance: 42.50 RTC ($4.25 USD)
Epoch: 1847 | Miners online: 14

Implementation

Create a skill file that:

1. Calls https://50.28.86.131/wallet/balance?wallet_id={name}
2. Formats the response
3. Optionally shows epoch info from /epoch

Acceptance Criteria

• Works as a Claude Code skill (.claude/skills/ or CLAUDE.md instruction)
• Handles errors gracefully (wallet not found, node offline)
• README with install instructions

Keywords

Claude Code, slash command, custom skill, cryptocurrency wallet, RTC token, blockchain balance checker, AI developer tools, terminal crypto

Wallet

Provide your RTC wallet name in the PR.

I'll build the /rtc-balance command as a Claude Code skill that integrates with your RustChain API endpoint.

Technical approach:

1. Create a skill file in .claude/skills/ that parses the wallet name from user input
2. Call https://50.28.86.131/wallet/balance?wallet_id={name} and parse the response
3. Format output to show balance, USD conversion, epoch, and miner count
4. Implement error handling for connection timeouts, invalid wallets, and node downtime
5. Fetch optional epoch data from /epoch and merge into the response
6. Include a README with install instructions and usage examples

Key features:

• Single-argument command: extracts wallet_id cleanly
• Graceful error messages ("Node offline", "Wallet not found", etc.)
• Real-time formatting with proper spacing for readability
• Entirely terminal-based—no external dependencies or browser required

Timeline: 2–3 hours. The API integration is straightforward; error handling and output formatting take the bulk of the work.

One question for clarity: Does the /epoch endpoint return the epoch number directly in the response, or is it nested within a larger JSON object that needs parsing?

Repo: https://github.com/jarvis24pro-A01/rtc-balance

What's implemented

A single-file Claude Code skill (rtc-balance.md) that:

• Usage: /rtc-balance <wallet-name> from any Claude Code session
• Data sources: https://50.28.86.131/wallet/balance?wallet_id={name} + /epoch
• Output format:

RustChain Wallet: my-miner-node
Balance:  42.50 RTC  (~$4.25 USD at $0.10/RTC)
Epoch:    1847
Miners:   14 online
Node:     ✅ healthy

• Error handling: wallet not found, node offline — both handled gracefully with helpful messages
• Zero dependencies: uses Claude Code's built-in WebFetch tool, no packages to install

Install

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/rtc-balance.md \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jarvis24pro-A01/rtc-balance/main/rtc-balance.md

Then in Claude Code: /rtc-balance <your-wallet-name>

Why skills not CLI

Claude Code custom skills are the native slash command mechanism — no separate install, no Python/Node required, works immediately for any developer already using Claude Code. This matches the bounty goal of "leaving the terminal" while being maximally accessible.
