At a glance

A skill your agent uses when researching, backtesting, deploying, or running a supported one-time Lighter action through the Superior Trade Unified API.

  • Running a supported one-time Lighter action through the Superior Trade Unified API
  • SKILL.md covers Unified API only, Robinhood Chain Variant, Safety Rules and Account readiness, plus 2 more sections
  • Reaches api.superior.trade; needs SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY
  • Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting

What it does

Lighter is an agent skill from Superior-Trade/superior-skills. Use when researching, backtesting, deploying, or running a supported one-time Lighter action through the Superior Trade Unified API.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/api.md` and `references/deployment.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. The repository describes itself as: Open agent skills and tool schemas for Superior Trade — build, backtest, and deploy trading strategies on Hyperliquid. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Running a supported one-time Lighter action through the Superior Trade Unified API
  • Tasks that involve Trading and backtesting

Example prompts

  • “/lighter”

Requirements

  • A credential in SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d41db5. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.superior.trade

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Lighter loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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.

SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY

Superior Trade Lighter

Use this skill for Lighter market discovery, Nautilus backtests and deployments, managed-wallet checks, and supported typed executions through Unified API.

Read ../../references/unified-runtime.md before making any request. The OpenAPI contract, not older venue workflows, defines which Lighter operations are available.

Base URL: https://api.superior.trade Auth: x-api-key: $SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY Venue config: { "venue": "lighter", "instrument_id": "<SYMBOL>.LIGHTER" }

Unified API only

Read ../../references/unified-runtime.md before onboarding, backtesting, deployment, or execution. Use GET /context/venues and GET /runtime/frameworks first, then the Unified runtime endpoints. If the contract does not expose the required Lighter operation, report it as unavailable.

Robinhood Chain Variant

Use the separate lighter-robinhood skill and venue name for Robinhood Chain Lighter. Do not treat lighter-robinhood as an alias for this default lighter profile; it uses a different venue profile, chain id, deposit asset, and instrument suffix.

Safety Rules

  • Never ask for private keys, seed phrases, API private keys, passwords, or wallet credentials.
  • Never log, echo, store, or display secrets. The only credential an agent should use is SUPERIOR_TRADE_API_KEY.
  • Never move funds or start live trading without explicit user confirmation.
  • Never submit a Lighter order without explicit user confirmation of market, side, size, order type, and risk.
  • Treat any contract-supported Lighter deposit or withdrawal as a real fund-moving action.
  • Do not retry an ambiguous execution or withdrawal automatically. Read its durable status and report the persisted state.
  • Do not claim managed-wallet funds are available on Lighter unless Unified API returns the required readiness and balance evidence.
  • Do not claim Lighter readiness or balance without querying the API.
  • If onboarding, CCTP funding, delayed withdrawal, or signed proxy submission is absent from GET /openapi.json, report it as unavailable.

Account readiness

Read the managed wallet with GET /wallet and venue support with GET /context/venues. Do not infer a Lighter-specific account state machine from generic wallet history. If Unified API does not return the readiness data needed for a live deployment, report the deployment as unavailable rather than reusing an older onboarding flow.

Reference files

Load on demand.

ReadWhen
references/api.mdYou need Unified routing for market context, wallet readiness, backtests, deployments, or supported typed executions.
references/deployment.mdYou are creating, starting, stopping or monitoring a Lighter Nautilus deployment.
  • Use superior-trade-auth first when the user needs an API key.
  • Use trade-thesis before deploying a new live strategy idea.
  • Use hyperliquid for Hyperliquid workflows. Lighter deployments use the same Unified runtime lifecycle with the Nautilus framework.
