# xaut-trade

Execute `USDT -> XAUT` buy and `XAUT -> USDT` sell flows via Uniswap V3 + Foundry `cast`.

## When to Use

Use when the user wants to buy or sell XAUT (Tether Gold):
- **Buy**: USDT → XAUT
- **Sell**: XAUT → USDT

## External Communications

This skill connects to external services (Ethereum RPC, UniswapX API, and optionally xaue.com rankings). On first setup, it may install Foundry via `curl | bash`. Inform the user before executing any external communication for the first time. See the README for a full list.

## Environment Readiness Check (run first on every session)

**Before handling any user intent** (except knowledge queries), run these checks:

0. Is `cast` available: `cast --version`
   Fail (command not found) → Foundry is not installed; run the setup script before anything else
1. Does `~/.aurehub/.env` exist: `ls ~/.aurehub/.env`
2. Does keystore account `aurehub-wallet` exist: `cast wallet list` output contains `aurehub-wallet`
3. Does `~/.aurehub/.wallet.password` exist: `ls ~/.aurehub/.wallet.password`

If **all pass**: source `~/.aurehub/.env`, then proceed to intent detection.

> **Important — shell isolation**: Every Bash tool call runs in a new subprocess; variables set in one call do NOT persist to the next. Therefore **every Bash command block that needs env vars must begin with `source ~/.aurehub/.env`** (or `set -a; source ~/.aurehub/.env; set +a` to auto-export all variables).
>
> **WALLET_ADDRESS is not stored in `.env`** — it must be derived fresh in every bash block that uses it:
> ```bash
> source ~/.aurehub/.env
> WALLET_ADDRESS=$(cast wallet address --account "$FOUNDRY_ACCOUNT" --password-file "$KEYSTORE_PASSWORD_FILE")
> ```
> This ensures the address always matches the actual keystore, regardless of session state.

If **any fail**: do not continue with the original intent — run the setup script first:

```bash
bash "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/skills/xaut-trade/scripts/setup.sh"
```

If `git rev-parse` fails, fall back to [references/onboarding.md](references/onboarding.md) for manual steps. After setup completes, re-run the original intent.

Proceed to intent detection.

**Extra checks for limit orders** (only when the intent is limit buy / sell / query / cancel):

4. Is Node.js >= 18 available: `node --version`
   Fail → go to the "Extra Dependencies for Limit Orders" section in [references/onboarding.md](references/onboarding.md), install, then continue
5. Are limit order dependencies installed: `ls "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/skills/xaut-trade/scripts/node_modules"`
   Fail → run `cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/skills/xaut-trade/scripts" && npm install`, then continue
   (If `git rev-parse` fails, first run `find ~ -name "limit-order.js" -maxdepth 6` to locate the scripts directory, then cd into it and run npm install)
6. Is `UNISWAPX_API_KEY` configured: `[ -n "$UNISWAPX_API_KEY" ] && [ "$UNISWAPX_API_KEY" != "your_api_key_here" ]`
   Fail → **hard-stop**, output:
   > Limit orders require a UniswapX API Key.
   > How to get one (about 5 minutes, free):
   > 1. Visit https://developers.uniswap.org/dashboard
   > 2. Sign in with Google / GitHub
   > 3. Generate a Token (choose Free tier)
   > 4. Add the key to ~/.aurehub/.env: `UNISWAPX_API_KEY=your_key`
   > 5. Re-submit your request

## Config & Local Files

- Global config directory: `~/.aurehub/` (persists across sessions, not inside the skill directory)
- `.env` path: `~/.aurehub/.env`
- `config.yaml` path: `~/.aurehub/config.yaml`
- Contract addresses and defaults come from `skills/xaut-trade/config.example.yaml`; copy to `~/.aurehub/config.yaml` during onboarding

## Interaction & Execution Principles (semi-automated)

1. Run pre-flight checks first, then quote.
2. Show a complete command preview before any `cast send`.
3. Only execute on-chain write operations after receiving explicit confirmation in the current session (e.g. "confirm execute").
4. Large trades and high-slippage trades require a second confirmation.

## Mandatory Safety Gates

- When amount exceeds the config threshold (e.g. `risk.large_trade_usd`), require double confirmation
- When slippage exceeds the threshold (e.g. `risk.max_slippage_bps_warn`), warn and require double confirmation
- When ETH gas balance is insufficient, hard-stop and prompt to top up
- When the network or pair is unsupported, hard-stop
- When the pair is not in the whitelist (currently: USDT_XAUT / XAUT_USDT), hard-stop and reply "Only USDT/XAUT pairs are supported; [user's token] is not supported"

## RPC Fallback

After sourcing `~/.aurehub/.env`, parse `ETH_RPC_URL_FALLBACK` as a comma-separated list of fallback RPC URLs.

If any `cast call` or `cast send` command fails and its output contains any of the following:
`429`, `502`, `503`, `timeout`, `connection refused`, `rate limit`, `Too Many Requests`

Then:
1. Try the same command with each fallback URL in order (replace `--rpc-url "$ETH_RPC_URL"` with the fallback URL)
2. First success → set that URL as the active RPC for all remaining commands this session; do not retry the primary
3. All fallbacks exhausted → hard-stop with:
   > RPC unavailable. All configured nodes failed (primary + N fallbacks).
   > To fix: add a paid RPC (Alchemy/Infura) at the front of `ETH_RPC_URL_FALLBACK` in `~/.aurehub/.env`

Do NOT trigger fallback for non-network errors: insufficient balance, contract revert, invalid parameters, nonce mismatch. Report these directly to the user.

**Session stickiness:** Once a fallback is selected, use it for every subsequent `--rpc-url` in this session. Never switch back to the primary or try other fallbacks unless the current one also fails.

## Intent Detection

Determine the operation from the user's message:

- **Buy**: contains "buy", "purchase", "swap USDT for", etc. → run buy flow
- **Sell**: contains "sell", "swap XAUT for", etc. → run sell flow
- **Insufficient info**: ask for direction and amount — do not execute directly
- **Limit buy**: contains "limit order", "when price drops to", "when price reaches", and direction is buy → run limit buy flow
- **Limit sell**: contains "limit sell", "sell when price reaches", "XAUT rises to X sell", etc. → run limit sell flow
- **Query limit order**: contains "check order", "order status" → run query flow
- **Cancel limit order**: contains "cancel order", "cancel limit" → run cancel flow
- **XAUT knowledge query**: contains "troy ounce", "grams", "conversion", "what is XAUT" → answer directly, no on-chain operations or environment checks needed

## Buy Flow (USDT → XAUT)

### Step 1: Pre-flight Checks

Follow [references/balance.md](references/balance.md):
- `cast --version`
- `cast block-number --rpc-url $ETH_RPC_URL`
- ETH and stablecoin balance checks

### Step 2: Quote & Risk Warnings

Follow [references/quote.md](references/quote.md):
- Call QuoterV2 for `amountOut`
- Calculate `minAmountOut`
- Display estimated fill, slippage protection, gas risk

### Step 3: Buy Execution

Follow [references/buy.md](references/buy.md):
- allowance check
- approve if needed (USDT requires `approve(0)` then `approve(amount)`)
- Execute swap after second confirmation
- Return tx hash and post-trade balance

## Sell Flow (XAUT → USDT)

### Step 1: Pre-flight Checks

Follow [references/balance.md](references/balance.md):
- `cast --version`
- `cast block-number --rpc-url $ETH_RPC_URL`
- ETH balance check
- **XAUT balance check (required)**: hard-stop if insufficient

### Step 2: Quote & Risk Warnings

Follow [references/sell.md](references/sell.md):
- Precision check (hard-stop if more than 6 decimal places)
- Call QuoterV2 for `amountOut` (XAUT → USDT direction)
- Calculate `minAmountOut`
- Large-trade check: estimate USD value using USDT `amountOut`
- Display estimated fill, reference rate, slippage protection, gas risk

### Step 3: Sell Execution

Follow [references/sell.md](references/sell.md):
- allowance check
- approve (XAUT is standard ERC-20, **no prior reset needed**)
- Execute swap after second confirmation
- Return tx hash and post-trade USDT balance

## Post-Trade Registration

After **any** on-chain trade completes successfully (buy swap, sell swap, or limit order placed):

1. `source ~/.aurehub/.env`
2. If `RANKINGS_OPT_IN` != `"true"` → silent skip, do not prompt
3. `REGISTERED=$(cat ~/.aurehub/.registered 2>/dev/null)`
4. `WALLET_ADDRESS=$(cast wallet address --account "$FOUNDRY_ACCOUNT" --password-file ~/.aurehub/.wallet.password)`
5. If `"$REGISTERED"` starts with `"$WALLET_ADDRESS:"` → already registered, silent skip
6. Otherwise → register using `NICKNAME` from `.env`:
   ```bash
   REGISTER_RESP=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -X POST \
     https://xaue.com/api/rankings/participants \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d "{\"wallet_address\":\"$WALLET_ADDRESS\",\"nickname\":\"$NICKNAME\",\"source\":\"agent\"}")
   ```
   - HTTP 200 or 201: `echo "$WALLET_ADDRESS:$NICKNAME" > ~/.aurehub/.registered`; inform: "Registered with nickname: $NICKNAME"
   - Any other status: silent continue, do not write marker file

Never ask the user for a nickname during the trade flow. The nickname is set during onboarding only.

## Limit Buy Flow (USDT → XAUT via UniswapX)

Follow [references/limit-order-buy-place.md](references/limit-order-buy-place.md).

## Limit Sell Flow (XAUT → USDT via UniswapX)

Follow [references/limit-order-sell-place.md](references/limit-order-sell-place.md).

## Limit Order Query Flow

Follow [references/limit-order-status.md](references/limit-order-status.md).

## Limit Order Cancel Flow

Follow [references/limit-order-cancel.md](references/limit-order-cancel.md).

## Output Format

Output must include:

- `Stage`: `Preview` or `Ready to Execute`
- `Input`: token, amount, chain
- `Quote`: estimated XAUT amount, slippage setting, `minAmountOut`
- `Reference rate`: `1 XAUT ≈ X USDT` (for comparison with spot price; shown for both buy and sell)
- `Risk warnings`: large trade / slippage / gas
- `Command`: full `cast` command
- `Result`: tx hash, post-trade balance (after execution)

## Error Handling

- Missing prerequisite variable: prompt to add the variable to `.env` and stop
- RPC network error (429/502/timeout): trigger RPC fallback sequence (see RPC Fallback section)
- Insufficient balance: report minimum top-up amount and stop
- User has not confirmed: stay in Preview — do not execute
- Transaction failed: return failure reason and retry suggestions (reduce amount / increase slippage tolerance / check nonce and gas)

## XAUT Knowledge Base

- 1 XAUT = 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams
- Minimum precision: 0.000001 XAUT (on-chain minimum unit: 1, i.e. 10^-6)
- Conversion: X grams ÷ 31.1035 = XAUT amount
- Examples: 1g ≈ 0.032151 XAUT; 10g ≈ 0.32151 XAUT
- Contract address (Ethereum mainnet): 0x68749665FF8D2d112Fa859AA293F07a622782F38

Answer knowledge queries directly using the data above — no `cast` commands needed.

## First-Turn Contract (for testing)

1. When information is sufficient: give a structured preview first, then ask for execution confirmation.
2. When information is insufficient: clarify key details (token, amount, environment variables) — do not claim a trade has been executed.
