AGENTS.md: Real-time crypto orderbook bot architecture andDev guide

Session ID: ses_360ecaee8ffeBAQlhY0GaZ9v2n Created: 2/27/2026, 5:29:29 PM Updated: 2/27/2026, 5:43:31 PM

SYSTEM

You are a meticulous technical writer and senior staff engineer.
Your task is to create AGENTS.md for the repository whose contents are provided below.

CONTEXT (replace the JSON blocks)

We're building a Python app for getting real-time orderbook and trade data from several cryptocurrency exchanges for archival, processing, prediction and trade execution - basically an algorithmic trading bot. We'll be using the following software stack:

  1. TimescaleDB as archive database (full credentials for connection -> postgres://postgres:DMl0h3qMnkiWWKRJSIgR@localhost:5432/trading);
  2. Redis as RAM cache and message broker (credentials for connection -> localhost:6379);
  3. Celery for general multiprocessing, scheduling and background tasks.

The app will be connecting to 6 cryptoexchanges (the number may change later): Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, KuCoin and MEXC. We'll be working with both spot and futures markets. Our interest is in data of finest granularity, meaning WebSocket channels with orderbook depth and individual trades changing in real-time; OHLCV data is out of picture. Expect at least 2 client connections for every trading pair on every cryptoexchange, that makes >1000 active connections sending >10000 bits of valuable data every second. The sheer amount of data calls for event-driven architucture pattern for our app. Usage of specific cryptoexchange libraries is discouraged for two reasons: 1. every cryptoexchange is different from another and this applies to their APIs also, and 2. our code blocks designed for handling WebSocket connections (e.g. connecting, receiving packages, sending subscription and heartbeat packages, reconnecting on network error) should be uniform, reusing same logic as much as possible. We have our own workstation on site, so that we could deploy the app locally. The hardware infrastructure is as follows:

  • Lenovo RD450X dual-CPU motherboard (10 Gigabit NIC version);
  • 2x Intel Xeon 2686v4;
  • 8x 64GB DDR4 ECC REG Samsung 2400Mhz 4DRx4 LRDIMM [M386A8K40BM1-CRC];
  • 2x Samsung PM1735 1.6 TB NVMe SSD (in ZFS RAID). We'll be utilizing our own spin on momentum trading strategies, analyzing data for prediction of direction and power of price movement based on the insights we can find in orderbook and trades, such as the volume of aggressive and passive trades; amount of large trades, iceberg trades, repeating trades and impulses; correlation with BTC and same coins between exchanges, and so on. Having latest orderbook data, we'll be dynamically predicting the amount of slippage, looking for closest order concentrations for our stop loss and the estimated movement power for our target. And then all 3 those factors will be optimal, we'll execute the deal. The same strategy should be applicable both to real-time and archive data for backtesting. Every point of the code should be logged for ease of debugging. Somewhere down the road, when the first block of data collection and second of data processing and prediction is ready, we'll be working on frontend and API.

Thinking:

Now I have all the information I need:

  1. The requirements.txt is empty (only a separator)
  2. The Makefile has two commands: init (install requirements) and commented out test command
  3. The repository structure is very minimal - just shell stubs
  4. The prompts folder contains visual diagrams and the MAIN prompt
  5. The README is empty
  6. There's no Python code yet, just the shell structure

I need to create a comprehensive AGENTS.md based on:

  1. The project description provided in the prompts
  2. The empty structure that will be built
  3. The technology stack specified
  4. Not inventing details but using TODO markers where needed

Let me write the AGENTS.md file following the exact structure requested.

Tool: write

Input:

  "content": "# Project Overview\n\nAlgorithmic trading bot platform with WebSocket-based real-time orderbook and trade data collection from multiple cryptocurrency exchanges. Uses TimescaleDB for archival, Redis for caching/messaging, and Celery for background tasks. Designed for momentum trading strategies with slippage prediction and dynamic trade execution across spot and futures markets.\n\n## Repository Structure\n\n- `docs/` - Documentation directory for architectural decisions and design notes\n- `modules/` - Python modules containing core functionality (will be populated)\n- `prompts/` - Visual diagrams and project documentation files\n- `tests/` - Test suite for validation (will be populated)\n- `requirements.txt` - Python dependencies list (currently stub)\n- `Makefile` - Build and development task automation\n- `README.rst` - Project overview (currently stub)\n\n## Build & Development Commands\n\n```bash\n# Install dependencies\nmake init\n\n# Run tests (currently stub - to be implemented)\nmake test\n\n# Debug (future - see TODO: add pytest with debug flags or pdb integration)\n```\n\n## Code Style & Conventions\n\nUse Python typing (type hints for all functions), PEP 8 style guide, and module docstrings for clarity.\n\nNaming: kebab-case for modules, snake_case for files, PascalCase for classes, camelCase for methods/variables.\n\nEnvironment variables in `.env` file (never commit secrets). Use environment-based configuration.\n\nCommit message format: `<type>: <description>` where type is one of (feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore).\n\n## Architecture Notes\n\n```\n+-------------------+      +------------------+      +------------------+\n|  Exchange Clients | ---> |  Redis Messages  | ---> |  Celery Workers  |\n| (Binance,OKX,...)|      |  (Broker/Cache)  |      |  (Processors)    |\n+-------------------+      +------------------+      +------------------+\n       ^                          ^                          |\n       |                          |                          v\n+-------------------+      +------------------+      +------------------+\n| Event Handlers    | <--- | WebSocket Streams| <--- | TimescaleDB       |\n| (Orderbook/trade) |      | (Data Streams)   |      | (Archive)        |\n+-------------------+      +------------------+      +------------------+\n```\n\n**Data Flow**: Exchanges push real-time WebSocket messages to event handlers. Handlers publish events to Redis for Celery workers to consume. Workers process data, update archives in TimescaleDB, and trigger real-time strategy inference. Celery workers handle backtesting on historical data and trade execution.\n\n**Key Components**:\n- Exchange adapters: Uniform WebSocket handling for Binance/OKX/etc., minimizing exchange-specific logic\n- Event handlers: Parse orderbook/trade events, implement reconnection/backoff\n- Strategy engine: Momentum analysis, slippage prediction, order concentration detection\n- Celery workers: Background data persistence, backtesting, trade execution coordination\n- TimescaleDB: Time-series data storage for analysis and replaying\n- Redis: In-memory cache and message queue infrastructure\n\n## Testing Strategy\n\nUnit tests with pytest to test individual exchange adapters, event handlers, and strategy functions.\n\nIntegration tests verify Redis/TimescaleDB/Celery workflow with test fixtures.\n\nTODO: Add CI/CD pipeline configuration and test coverage reporting (coverage.py + SonarQube).\n\nTest data should be mock WebSocket responses for unit tests; real market data for integration tests with rate limiting.\n\n## Security & Compliance\n\n> TODO: Define and document API key handling strategy (encrypted environment variables, vault integration).\n\n> TODO: Implement dependency scanning with Snyk or similar.\n\n> TODO: Define data retention policies and privacy considerations.\n\n## Agent Guardrails\n\n**Never touch**:\n- Financial trading keys or secrets\n- Dockerfile or Kubernetes deployment manifests until production ready\n- CI/CD pipeline configuration files\n\n**Required reviews**:\n- PRs modifying core exchange adapters MUST be reviewed by lead engineer\n- Changes to strategy logic require trading strategy team sign-off\n- Any security-sensitive code requires security review\n\n## Extensibility Hooks\n\n- `EXCHANGE_ADAPTERS` environment variable to configure supported exchanges\n- `REDIS_URL` and `DATABASE_URL` for connection configuration\n- Strategy implementations exported via `strategy_registry` dictionary for plugin loading\n- Celery broker url and backend configurable via environment variables\n\n## Further Reading\n\n> TODO: Create docs/ARCH.md for detailed architecture\n> TODO: Document ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) in docs/adr/\n> TODO: Add detailed API documentation in docs/API.md",
