OpenClaw Scalper Precheck

This skill is usually the first step in the custom scalper workflow.

Before Using This Skill

• Use this skill when a new trade idea is still being evaluated.
• Use this skill before scalper-playbook when the trader wants market validation first.
• Use this skill before scalper-executor unless the user clearly says precheck was already done or intentionally skipped.

After This Skill

• If the trader wants to define management rules in prose, route next to scalper-playbook.
• If the trader already has a fully structured order and only needs execution, route next to scalper-executor.
• If the summary is reject, do not continue unless the user explicitly revises or overrides the plan.

Routing Priority

• Prefer this skill before scalper-playbook when the user is still deciding whether a trade is good enough to take.
• Prefer this skill before scalper-executor when the request sounds like pre-trade validation rather than immediate execution.
• If the request is only raw market data, prefer okx-cex-market instead.

Workflow

1. Extract the target instrument and profile from the request. Default profile=demo if unspecified.
2. If the instrument is missing or ambiguous, stop and ask for the exact instId.
3. Run scripts/run_precheck.py --inst-id <instId> --profile <profile>.
4. Report the structured precheck summary before any execution skill is used.
5. If the summary status is reject, do not continue into execution unless the user explicitly overrides with a revised plan.
6. If the summary status is pass or caution and the user wants to continue, hand off to scalper-playbook or scalper-executor as appropriate.

Ambiguity And Unsupported Requests

• If the request is ambiguous, ask a concise clarification question instead of guessing.
• If the request needs unsupported logic, say that the current scalper MVP does not support it yet.
• Never invent missing execution details.
• Never silently approximate a trading instruction.
