kalshi-trading-bot-cli: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

kalshi-trading-bot-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from OctagonAI/kalshi-trading-bot-cli. It costs 1,433 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a TypeScript command-line AI agent that researches financial information and trades on Kalshi, a prediction-market platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the CLI, model integrations, financial or web research tools, browser tools, skills, or evaluations.
Why use it?
They map the codebase so developers can find the agent loop, user interface, model providers, research tools, and tests.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is OctagonAI/kalshi-trading-bot-cli's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on kalshi-trading-bot-cli 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 kalshi-trading-bot-cli 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

kalshi-trading-bot-cli AGENTS.md 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 10d 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.

Repository Guidelines

  • A CLI-based AI agent for deep financial research and Kalshi prediction market trading, built with TypeScript, Ink (React for CLI), and LangChain.

Project Structure

  • Source code: src/
    • Agent core: src/agent/ (agent loop, prompts, scratchpad, token counting, types)
    • CLI interface: src/cli.tsx (Ink/React), entry point: src/index.tsx
    • Components: src/components/ (Ink UI components)
    • Hooks: src/hooks/ (React hooks for agent runner, model selection, input history)
    • Model/LLM: src/model/llm.ts (multi-provider LLM abstraction)
    • Tools: src/tools/ (financial search, web search, browser, skill tool)
    • Tool descriptions: src/tools/descriptions/ (rich descriptions injected into system prompt)
    • Finance tools: src/tools/finance/ (prices, fundamentals, filings, insider trades, etc.)
    • Search tools: src/tools/search/ (Exa preferred, Tavily fallback)
    • Browser: src/tools/browser/ (Playwright-based web scraping)
    • Skills: src/skills/ (SKILL.md-based extensible workflows, e.g. DCF valuation)
    • Utils: src/utils/ (env, config, caching, token estimation, markdown tables)
    • Evals: src/evals/ (LangSmith evaluation runner with Ink UI)
  • Config: .kalshi-trading-bot-cli/settings.json (persisted model/provider selection)
  • Environment: .env (API keys; see env.example)
  • Scripts: scripts/release.sh

Build, Test, and Development Commands

  • Runtime: Bun (primary). Use bun for all commands.
  • Install deps: bun install
  • Run: bun run start or bun run src/index.tsx
  • Dev (watch mode): bun run dev
  • Type-check: bun run typecheck
  • Tests: bun test
  • Evals: bun run src/evals/run.ts (full) or bun run src/evals/run.ts --sample 10 (sampled)
  • CI runs bun run typecheck and bun test on push/PR.

Coding Style & Conventions

  • Language: TypeScript (ESM, strict mode). JSX via React (Ink for CLI rendering).
  • Prefer strict typing; avoid any.
  • Keep files concise; extract helpers rather than duplicating code.
  • Add brief comments for tricky or non-obvious logic.
  • Do not add logging unless explicitly asked.
  • Do not create README or documentation files unless explicitly asked.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
