Key Components

Agents (src/agents/)

• Each agent is standalone executable
• Uses ModelFactory for LLM access
• Stores outputs in src/data/[agent_name]/
• Under 800 lines (split if longer)

LLM Integration (src/models/)

• ModelFactory provides unified interface
• Supports: Claude, GPT-4, DeepSeek, Groq, Gemini, Ollama
• Pattern: ModelFactory.create_model('anthropic')

Trading Utilities

• nice_funcs.py: Core functions (Solana/BirdEye)
• nice_funcs_hl.py: Hyperliquid exchange
• nice_funcs_extended.py: Extended Exchange (X10)

Configuration

• config.py: Trading settings, risk limits, agent behavior
• .env: API keys and secrets (never expose these)

Agent Categories

Trading: trading_agent, strategy_agent, risk_agent, copybot_agent

Market Analysis: sentiment_agent, whale_agent, funding_agent, liquidation_agent, chartanalysis_agent

Content: chat_agent, clips_agent, tweet_agent, video_agent, phone_agent

Research: rbi_agent (codes backtests from videos/PDFs), research_agent, websearch_agent

Specialized: sniper_agent, solana_agent, tx_agent, million_agent, polymarket_agent, compliance_agent, swarm_agent

See AGENTS.md for complete list with descriptions.

Common Workflows

1. Run Single Agent

# Activate your environment first
python src/agents/[agent_name].py

Each agent is standalone and can run independently.

2. Run Main Orchestrator

python src/main.py

Runs multiple agents in loop based on ACTIVE_AGENTS dict in main.py.

3. Change Exchange

Edit agent file or config:

EXCHANGE = "hyperliquid"  # or "birdeye", "extended"

Then import corresponding functions:

if EXCHANGE == "hyperliquid":
    from src import nice_funcs_hl as nf
elif EXCHANGE == "extended":
    from src import nice_funcs_extended as nf

4. Switch AI Model

Edit src/config.py:

AI_MODEL = "claude-3-haiku-20240307"  # Fast, cheap
# AI_MODEL = "claude-3-sonnet-20240229"  # Balanced
# AI_MODEL = "claude-3-opus-20240229"  # Most powerful

Or use ModelFactory per-agent:

from src.models.model_factory import ModelFactory
model = ModelFactory.create_model('deepseek')  # or 'openai', 'groq', etc.
response = model.generate_response(system_prompt, user_content, temperature, max_tokens)

5. Backtest Strategy (RBI Agent)

python src/agents/rbi_agent.py

Provide: YouTube URL, PDF, or trading idea text → DeepSeek-R1 extracts strategy logic → Generates backtesting.py compatible code → Executes backtest, returns metrics

See WORKFLOWS.md for more examples.

Development Rules

CRITICAL Rules

1. Keep files under 800 lines - split into new files if longer
2. NEVER move files - can create new, but no moving without asking
3. Use existing environment - don't create new virtual environments, use the one from initial setup
4. Update requirements.txt after any pip install: pip freeze > requirements.txt
5. Use real data only - never synthetic/fake data
6. Minimal error handling - user wants to see errors, not over-engineered try/except
7. Never expose API keys - don't show .env contents

Agent Development Pattern

Creating new agents:

# 1. Use ModelFactory for LLM
from src.models.model_factory import ModelFactory
model = ModelFactory.create_model('anthropic')

# 2. Store outputs in src/data/
output_dir = "src/data/my_agent/"

# 3. Make independently executable
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Standalone logic here

# 4. Follow naming: [purpose]_agent.py

# 5. Add to config.py if needed

Backtesting

• Use backtesting.py library (NOT built-in indicators)
• Use pandas_ta or talib for indicators
• Sample data: src/data/rbi/BTC-USD-15m.csv

Configuration Files

config.py: Trading settings

• MONITORED_TOKENS, EXCLUDED_TOKENS
• Position sizing: usd_size, max_usd_order_size
• Risk: CASH_PERCENTAGE, MAX_LOSS_USD, MAX_GAIN_USD
• Agent: SLEEP_BETWEEN_RUNS_MINUTES, ACTIVE_AGENTS
• AI: AI_MODEL, AI_MAX_TOKENS, AI_TEMPERATURE

.env: Secrets (NEVER expose)

• Trading APIs: BIRDEYE_API_KEY, MOONDEV_API_KEY, COINGECKO_API_KEY
• AI: ANTHROPIC_KEY, OPENAI_KEY, DEEPSEEK_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, GEMINI_KEY
• Blockchain: SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY, HYPER_LIQUID_ETH_PRIVATE_KEY, RPC_ENDPOINT
• Extended: X10_API_KEY, X10_PRIVATE_KEY, X10_PUBLIC_KEY, X10_VAULT_ID

Exchange Support

Hyperliquid (nice_funcs_hl.py)

• EVM-compatible perpetuals DEX
• Functions: market_buy(), market_sell(), get_position(), close_position()
• Leverage up to 50x

BirdEye/Solana (nice_funcs.py)

• Solana spot token data and trading
• Functions: token_overview(), token_price(), get_ohlcv_data()
• Real-time market data for 15,000+ tokens

Extended Exchange (nice_funcs_extended.py)

• StarkNet-based perpetuals (X10)
• Auto symbol conversion (BTC → BTC-USD)
• Leverage up to 20x
• Functions match Hyperliquid API for compatibility

See docs/hyperliquid.md, docs/extended_exchange.md for exchange-specific guides.

Data Flow Pattern

Config/Input → Agent Init → API Data Fetch → Data Parsing →
LLM Analysis (via ModelFactory) → Decision Output →
Result Storage (CSV/JSON in src/data/) → Optional Trade Execution

Common Tasks

Add new package:

# Make sure your environment is activated first
pip install package-name
pip freeze > requirements.txt

Read market data:

from src.nice_funcs import token_overview, get_ohlcv_data, token_price

overview = token_overview(token_address)
ohlcv = get_ohlcv_data(token_address, timeframe='1H', days_back=3)
price = token_price(token_address)

Execute trade (Hyperliquid):

from src import nice_funcs_hl as nf
nf.market_buy("BTC", usd_amount=100, leverage=10)
position = nf.get_position("BTC")
nf.close_position("BTC")

Execute trade (Extended):

from src import nice_funcs_extended as nf
nf.market_buy("BTC", usd_amount=100, leverage=15)
position = nf.get_position("BTC")
nf.close_position("BTC")

• AI confirmation for position-closing (configurable)
• Default loop: every 15 minutes (SLEEP_BETWEEN_RUNS_MINUTES)

Philosophy

This is an experimental, educational project:

• No guarantees of profitability
• Open source and free
• YouTube-driven development
• Community-supported via Discord
• No official token (avoid scams)

Goal: Democratize AI agent development through practical trading examples.
