## What it does

The skill tracks a leader wallet on a target blockchain and mirrors its Uniswap swaps into your portfolio. It operates as a deterministic state machine. Each cycle reads the last processed block cursor from a state file, inspects new transactions from the leader, applies configured guardrails, and forwards valid actions for execution. On the initial run, the cursor anchors at the current head block to avoid replaying prior transaction history.

Running this skill without swap-integration and viem-integration will fail immediately: it contains no built-in quoting, signing, or broadcast logic. The skill inspects the leader's transactions directly rather than filtering pool events, because router contracts overwrite the sender address in pool logs. All quote generation, token allowances, and transaction broadcasts are delegated to the underlying integrations.

When runtime confirmation is needed, the skill queries the operator through AskUserQuestion prompts or conversational chat. Guardrails verify token allowlists and position sizes before any order is placed. This keeps automated copying strictly bounded by user-defined limits.

## When to use it
- mirror swaps from a target wallet across Uniswap pools
- enforce guardrails and position limits on copied trades
- filter mirrored transactions against token allowlists
- track new leader actions without replaying historical blocks

## Example prompts
- Copy trades from wallet `<address>` with strict position guardrails
- Mirror swaps from leader address `<address>` on Uniswap
- Track and replicate transactions from trader `<address>`

# Copy Trade

Watch a target ("leader") wallet on the target chain and mirror its swaps into the follower's wallet, bounded by guardrails. This is a thin strategy layer: it decides what to mirror and whether to mirror it, then delegates the actual swap to `swap-integration` and `viem-integration`. The skill never builds quote, approval, swap, or signing logic itself.

> **Runtime Compatibility:** This skill uses `AskUserQuestion` for execution-mode and confirmation prompts. If `AskUserQuestion` is not available in your runtime, collect the same parameters and confirmations through natural language conversation instead.

## Overview

The host scheduler invokes this skill on a cadence (about every 5 minutes). Each invocation is a single, self-contained, deterministic run:

1. Read the stored cursor (last processed block).
2. Read the leader wallet's new on-chain actions since the cursor.
3. For each new action, apply guardrails.
4. For actions that pass, delegate the mirror swap to `swap-integration`.
5. Advance the cursor and record which leader actions were mirrored.

Treat this as a state machine, not free-form reasoning. Read state, diff against the chain, decide per action, act, advance the cursor. Do not infer intent beyond what the on-chain events say, and never re-derive a decision a prior run already recorded.

## Prerequisites

This skill delegates all infrastructure. It never reimplements quoting, approval, signing, or swap construction.

- **swap-integration** (uniswap-trading): the only execution path. Every mirror swap goes through its Trading API flow (`check_approval` then `quote` then `swap`, then sign and broadcast). Do not reimplement any of it.
- **viem-integration** (uniswap-viem): accounts, clients, signing, transaction broadcast, and reading the leader wallet's activity. Read the leader's transactions and receipts since the cursor block to detect swaps (see Step 2).
