What hummingbot does

The skill gives an agent a set of Hummingbot operations for exchange connections, asset balances, bot configuration, launches, stops, status checks, and trade history. The package includes scripts such as connect.py, balance.py, and create.py to carry out these actions.

Hummingbot API must be running at http://localhost:8000, and hummingbot-api-client is installed with pip3 install hummingbot-api-client. Credentials can come from .env files or environment variables. The API path is for V2 strategies; V1 strategies need the regular Hummingbot client.

What it helps with

add exchange API credentials
inspect balances across connected exchanges
create a bot configuration
start or stop a running bot
review bot status and trading history

Example prompts for the agent

List available exchanges and their connection state with connect.
Show non-zero balances with USD values using balance.
Create a controller config named my_mm_config from the pmm_v1 template.
