  • Setting up a market-making or arbitrage strategy in Hummingbot
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Quick Reference, Reference Files and Working with This Skill, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This skill is a documentation-style reference for Hummingbot, covering getting started, configuration, connectors, strategies, advanced topics, development and troubleshooting, each split into its own reference file to read on demand rather than loading everything at once. It triggers on general work with Hummingbot - asking about its features or APIs, implementing a Hummingbot-based solution, or debugging Hummingbot code.

The quick-reference patterns it shows cover common API calls directly: fetching candle data for a trading pair through a candles factory, launching the bot with a quickstart script pointing at a strategy config file, listing or using gateway swap connectors for on-chain trading, and pulling live price, order book or volume data from a market data provider for a given exchange and trading pair.

It points beginners toward the getting-started reference file for foundational concepts before moving on to the more detailed strategy, connector and development references.

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up a market-making or arbitrage strategy in Hummingbot
  • Debugging a Hummingbot connector or strategy script
  • Looking up a Hummingbot API pattern for price or order book data

Example prompts

  • “Show me how to fetch 1-minute candles for ETH-USDT in Hummingbot.”
  • “Help me debug this simple market-making strategy config.”
  • “How do I pull the order book snapshot for a trading pair?”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Re-run the scraper with the same configuration
  2. The skill will be rebuilt with the latest information

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9b42dd1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hummingbot Trading Bot Reference loads about 998 tokens when it runs, and up to ~194k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 315 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~998
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~194k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
