What This Skill Does

The hummingbot skill is a specialized agent bridge that enables OpenClaw AI agents to interface directly with the Hummingbot API. It mirrors the familiar command-line experience of the Hummingbot platform, allowing for programmatic control over trading workflows. By leveraging this skill, your agent gains the ability to manage exchange connections, query asset balances, deploy V2 strategies, and monitor real-time trading performance without requiring manual human intervention in the CLI.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/fengtality/hummingbot Ensure that you have an active Hummingbot instance running with the API enabled, as the skill acts as a proxy for the Hummingbot REST API.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for quantitative traders and developers looking to automate their market-making or arbitrage operations. Use cases include:

• Autonomous Portfolio Management: Automatically checking balances and adjusting strategy parameters based on predefined risk metrics.
• Round-the-clock Trading: Allowing an AI agent to restart or stop bots based on market volatility or technical signals.
• Operational Transparency: Automatically pulling trading history and status logs for reporting or post-trade analysis without logging into the Hummingbot UI.

Example Prompts

1. "Hummingbot, check my current balances on Binance and display the status of the active V2 strategy."
2. "Create a new configuration for a pure market-making strategy on Kraken and start the bot."
3. "Summarize the trading history for the last 24 hours and stop the bot if the drawdown exceeds 2%."

Tips & Limitations

• V2 Focus: This skill is optimized specifically for Hummingbot V2 controllers and scripts. It will not function with legacy V1 strategy configurations.
• Solana Specifics: If your primary interest is DEX/LP strategies on the Solana blockchain, please use the lp-agent skill instead, as it is better optimized for that ecosystem.
• Security: Always ensure that your Hummingbot API credentials are stored securely and that your agent has restricted access only to the necessary trading wallets. Do not share API keys in plain text within agent chat logs.
