| 1 | ### Resolving `gate-cli` (binary path) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Resolve **`gate-cli`** in order: **(1)** **`command -v gate-cli`** and **`gate-cli --version`** succeeds; **(2)** **`${HOME}/.local/bin/gate-cli`** if executable; **(3)** **`${HOME}/.openclaw/skills/bin/gate-cli`** if executable. Canonical rules: [`exchange-runtime-rules.md`](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/exchange-runtime-rules.md) §4 (or [`gate-runtime-rules.md`](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/gate-runtime-rules.md) §4). |

| 6 | # Gate Alpha Assistant |
| 7 | |
| 8 | This skill is the single entry for Gate Alpha operations. It supports **seven modules**: Token Discovery, Market Viewing, Trading (Buy), Trading (Sell), Account & Holdings, Account Book, and Order Management. User intent is routed to the matching workflow. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ## General Rules |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. |
| 13 | Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. |
| 14 | → Read [gate-runtime-rules.md](https://github.com/gate/gate-skills/blob/master/skills/gate-runtime-rules.md) |
| 15 | - **Only use the `gate-cli` commands explicitly listed in this skill.** Commands not documented here must NOT be run for these workflows, even if other interfaces expose them. |

| 20 | ### gate-cli commands used |
| 21 | |
| 22 | **Query Operations (Read-only)** |
| 23 | |
| 24 | - `gate-cli cex alpha order get` |
| 25 | - `gate-cli cex alpha account book` |
| 26 | - `gate-cli cex alpha account balances` |
| 27 | - `gate-cli cex alpha market currencies` |
| 28 | - `gate-cli cex alpha order list` |
| 29 | - `gate-cli cex alpha market tickers` |
| 30 | - `gate-cli cex alpha market tokens` |
| 31 | - `gate-cli cex alpha order quote` |
| 32 | |
| 33 | **Execution Operations (Write)** |
| 34 | |
| 35 | - `gate-cli cex alpha order place` |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ### Authentication |
| 38 | - **Interactive file setup:** when **`GATE_API_KEY`** and **`GATE_API_SECRET`** are **not** both set on the host, run **`gate-cli config init`** to complete the wizard for API key, secret, profiles, and defaults (see [gate-cli](https://github.com/gate/gate-cli)). |
| 39 | - **Env / flags:** **`gate-cli config init`** is **not** required when credentials are already supplied — e.g. **both** **`GATE_API_KEY`** and **`GATE_API_SECRET`** set on the host, or **`--api-key`** / **`--api-secret`** where supported — never ask the user to paste secrets into chat. |
| 40 | - **Permissions:** Alpha:Write |
| 41 | - **Portal:** create or rotate keys outside the chat: https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ### Installation Check |
| 44 | - **Required:** `gate-cli` (run `sh ./setup.sh` from this skill directory if missing; optional `GATE_CLI_SETUP_MODE=release`). |
| 45 | - Add `$HOME/.openclaw/skills/bin` to **`PATH`** if you invoke `gate-cli` by name (or the directory where [`setup.sh`](./setup.sh) installs it). |
| 46 | - **Credentials:** When **`GATE_API_KEY`** and **`GATE_API_SECRET`** are both set (non-empty) for the host, **do not** require **`gate-cli config init`** — that is equivalent valid config for `gate-cli`. When **both** are unset or empty, **remind** the operator to run **`gate-cli config init`** **or** to configure **`GATE_API_KEY`** / **`GATE_API_SECRET`** in the **matching skill** from the skill library (never ask the user to paste secrets into chat). |
| 47 | - **Sanity check:** Do not proceed with authenticated calls until the CLI behaves as expected (e.g. **`gate-cli --version`** or a read-only **`gate-cli cex ...`** command from this skill); confirm cr |
