Use ritmex-bot CLI

This skill is for running ritmex-bot in an agent-safe, exchange-compatible way.

Use This Skill When

• The user asks to use ritmex-bot commands directly.
• The user wants market data, account/position, or order operations from supported exchanges.
• The user wants AI-agent-friendly CLI execution with --json output.
• The user wants simulation with --dry-run before real writes.

Hard Rules

1. Do not change environment-variable names and do not invent new env keys.
2. Read config from the current shell environment as-is.
3. Do not normalize or rewrite --symbol; pass it through exactly.
4. If a feature is not supported by an exchange, return it as unsupported (UNSUPPORTED), do not fake behavior.
5. For write actions (order create, order cancel, order cancel-all), prefer --dry-run first unless the user explicitly asks to skip simulation.
6. Use --json whenever output must be consumed by another agent/tool.

Command Entry Options

Use one of these:

ritmex-bot <command>
npx ritmex-bot <command>
bunx ritmex-bot <command>
bun run index.ts <command>

If ritmex-bot is unavailable, use bun run index.ts <command> from repo root.

Default Agent Workflow

1. Determine exchange and symbol from user request.
2. If missing, rely on existing env resolution; do not create fallback env variables.
3. Run capability precheck:
   • exchange list
   • exchange capabilities --exchange <id>
4. For read operations, run command directly (prefer --json).
5. For write operations:
   • Run the exact command with --dry-run --json.
   • Validate payload and dry-run actions.
   • Run live command only when user confirmed or explicitly requested live execution.
6. Post-check with order open, position list, or account snapshot as needed.

Command Reference

doctor

ritmex-bot doctor
ritmex-bot doctor --exchange binance --symbol BTCUSDT --json

Returns effective setup and runtime capabilities.

exchange

ritmex-bot exchange list
ritmex-bot exchange capabilities --exchange standx

If runtime adapter cannot initialize, capabilities may fallback to static metadata.

market

ritmex-bot market ticker --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol>
ritmex-bot market depth --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --levels 10
ritmex-bot market kline --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --interval 1m --limit 100

Rules:

• kline requires --interval.
• depth --levels is optional.
• kline --limit is optional.

account

ritmex-bot account snapshot --exchange <id>
ritmex-bot account summary --exchange <id>

summary is an alias of snapshot.

position

ritmex-bot position list --exchange <id>
ritmex-bot position list --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol>

order

Query open orders

ritmex-bot order open --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol>

Create order

ritmex-bot order create --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --side buy --type limit --quantity 0.01 --price 90000

Required:

• --side = buy|sell
• --type = limit|market|stop|trailing-stop|close
• --quantity or --qty

Conditional required:

• limit: --price
• stop: --stop-price
• trailing-stop: --activation-price and --callback-rate

Optional:

• --time-in-force (GTC|IOC|FOK|GTX)
• --reduce-only (true|false)
• --close-position (true|false)
• --trigger-type (UNSPECIFIED|TAKE_PROFIT|STOP_LOSS)
• --sl-price
• --tp-price

Cancel one order

ritmex-bot order cancel --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --order-id <id>

Cancel all

ritmex-bot order cancel-all --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol>

strategy

ritmex-bot strategy run --strategy maker --exchange standx --silent
ritmex-bot strategy run --strategy offset --exchange binance --dry-run

Supported strategy IDs:

• trend
• swing
• guardian
• maker
• maker-points
• offset-maker
• liquidity-maker
• basis
• grid

Aliases:

• offset -> offset-maker
• makerpoints / maker_points -> maker-points
• liquidity / liquiditymaker / liquidity_maker -> liquidity-maker

Extra flags:

• --silent (short alias -q)
• --dry-run

Dry-Run First Patterns

Create order safely

# 1) Simulate
ritmex-bot order create --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --side buy --type limit --quantity 0.01 --price 90000 --dry-run --json

# 2) Execute live only after confirmation
ritmex-bot order create --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --side buy --type limit --quantity 0.01 --price 90000 --json

Cancel safely

# 1) Simulate
ritmex-bot order cancel --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --order-id <id> --dry-run --json

# 2) Execute live
ritmex-bot order cancel --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --order-id <id> --json

Agent Output Handling

Prefer --json and parse:

• success (boolean)
• command (executed command kind)
• exchange
• symbol
• dryRun
• data (success payload)
• error.code, error.message, error.retryable (failure payload)

Human-readable mode is fine for manual terminal use; --json is preferred for automation.

Error Codes and Exit Codes

Map failures by code/exit code:

• INVALID_ARGS -> exit 2
• MISSING_ENV -> exit 3
• UNSUPPORTED -> exit 5
• EXCHANGE_ERROR -> exit 6
• TIMEOUT -> exit 7

Handling policy:

1. INVALID_ARGS: fix command arguments and retry once.
2. MISSING_ENV: report missing configuration; do not invent env keys.
3. UNSUPPORTED: return clearly as unsupported for that exchange.
4. EXCHANGE_ERROR: return details and retry only if user requests.
5. TIMEOUT: optionally retry with larger --timeout once.

Symbol and Exchange-Specific Behavior

• Never apply cross-exchange symbol mapping inside the skill.
• Respect user-provided symbols exactly (examples: BTCUSDT, BTCUSDC, BTC_USD_PERP, BTC-PERP).
• If no --symbol is provided, let existing exchange config resolve it.
• If no --exchange is provided, let existing env resolution decide it.

Ready-to-Use Recipes

Preflight

ritmex-bot exchange list --json
ritmex-bot exchange capabilities --exchange <id> --json
ritmex-bot doctor --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --json

Read-only market/account state

ritmex-bot market ticker --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --json
ritmex-bot market depth --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --levels 20 --json
ritmex-bot market kline --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --interval 1m --limit 120 --json
ritmex-bot account snapshot --exchange <id> --json
ritmex-bot position list --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --json

Write flow (safe)

ritmex-bot order create --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --side buy --type market --qty 0.01 --dry-run --json
ritmex-bot order create --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --side buy --type market --qty 0.01 --json
ritmex-bot order open --exchange <id> --symbol <symbol> --json

Strategy flow

ritmex-bot strategy run --strategy trend --exchange <id> --dry-run
ritmex-bot strategy run --strategy trend --exchange <id> --silent

Completion Checklist

Before returning results to user:

1. Confirm command and parameters used.
2. Confirm whether run was dryRun or live.
3. For live writes, provide immediate post-check output (order open / position list).
4. If unsupported, explicitly name exchange + unsupported method.
5. If failed, return error code/message and next corrective action.
