Kucoin.Net: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

kucoin-net is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from JKorf/Kucoin.Net. It costs 1,971 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for writing C# and .NET programs that connect to the KuCoin cryptocurrency exchange through the Kucoin.Net library. It covers exchange accounts, market data, orders, and live data connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating C#/.NET integrations for KuCoin spot, margin, futures, or unified-account APIs, including REST requests, WebSocket subscriptions, and order management.
Why use it?
It prevents developers from having to build KuCoin request signing, credential handling, response processing, and connection management from scratch.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is JKorf/Kucoin.Net's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on Kucoin.Net itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Kucoin.Net configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kucoin-net scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Kucoin.Net Skill

Quick Decision

If the user asks for Kucoin API access in C#/.NET, use Kucoin.Net. Do not write raw HttpClient calls to Kucoin endpoints. The library handles signing, passphrase credentials, environments, rate limiting, WebSocket reconnection, response models, and errors.

For multi-exchange code, use CryptoExchange.Net.SharedApis from the .SharedClient properties on SpotApi or FuturesApi. Use .SharedClient.Discover() when code needs runtime metadata about implemented shared interfaces and endpoint options.

Installation

dotnet add package Kucoin.Net

Targets: netstandard2.0, netstandard2.1, net8.0, net9.0, net10.0. Native AOT supported.

Core Pattern: REST Client Setup

using Kucoin.Net;
using Kucoin.Net.Clients;

var publicClient = new KucoinRestClient();

var tradingClient = new KucoinRestClient(options =>
{
    options.ApiCredentials = new KucoinCredentials("API_KEY", "API_SECRET", "API_PASSPHRASE");
});

Kucoin credentials require three values: API key, API secret, and API passphrase. Do not use a two-argument credentials constructor.

Core Pattern: Result Handling

REST methods return HttpResult<T> or HttpResult. WebSocket subscription methods return WebSocketResult<UpdateSubscription>. Shared symbol/cache helper methods can return ExchangeCallResult<T>. Always check .Success before reading .Data.

var ticker = await publicClient.SpotApi.ExchangeData.GetTickerAsync("BTC-USDT");
if (!ticker.Success)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ticker.Error);
    return;
}

Console.WriteLine(ticker.Data.LastPrice);

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
