What This Skill Does

The Hyperliquid Trading Skill is a robust interface for the Hyperliquid perpetual futures decentralized exchange, allowing OpenClaw agents to manage portfolios and execute trades programmatically. It handles everything from real-time monitoring of account balances, open positions, and unrealized P&L, to the execution of complex trading strategies including limit orders and market orders. By bridging the OpenClaw agent with the Hyperliquid API, this skill transforms your terminal into a powerful, automated trading desk that provides data-driven feedback on market conditions and current wallet status.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw management utility:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/anajuliabit/hyperliquid-trading

Once installed, navigate to the skill directory and ensure dependencies are met:

cd skills/hyperliquid/scripts && npm install

To enable trading capabilities, set your HYPERLIQUID_PRIVATE_KEY as an environment variable. For read-only insights, the HYPERLIQUID_ADDRESS suffices. For testnet environments, toggle the HYPERLIQUID_TESTNET=1 flag.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for traders and developers building automated market-making or algorithmic strategies. Use it to:

• Monitor live crypto portfolios and track unrealized gains or losses.
• Automate entry and exit points for perpetual positions without manual GUI interaction.
• Perform bulk order cancellations during high-volatility events.
• Retrieve real-time asset pricing to inform automated decision-making processes.

Example Prompts

1. "What is my current balance on Hyperliquid and do I have any open positions on BTC?"
2. "Place a market buy order for 0.5 ETH at current prices."
3. "Cancel all my open orders for SOL to clear the slate."

Tips & Limitations

Always exercise caution when automating financial transactions. This skill includes safety guardrails: it validates slippage on market orders and provides warnings if a trade exceeds 20% of your account equity. Before executing significant trades, the agent will prompt for confirmation. Ensure your environment variables are stored securely and never share your private keys. Remember that Hyperliquid operates on a non-custodial basis, and the agent acts as a client; thus, network connectivity is essential for live order management. Always cross-reference agent-calculated P&L with the exchange UI during early deployment phases.
