OpenTradex — Onboarding

You are onboarding a new user to the OpenTradex paper-trading plugin.

Collect API keys only. v1 of this plugin is paper-only — the keys are used for authenticated read-scans (higher rate limits, better data) and are persisted locally at ~/.claude/opentradex/keys.json with 0600 permissions. No live orders are placed.

Flow

1. Greet the user and explain what's about to happen:

   "I'll ask for your API keys for each exchange. Leave any rail blank to skip it — you can add it later. Keys never leave your machine."

2. Run the interactive onboarder:

   node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" onboard
   

   This will prompt for each rail in turn: Kalshi, Polymarket, Alpaca (key + secret), Coinbase (key + secret).
3. After onboarding completes, confirm which rails are active:

   node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" status
   

4. Show the redacted key list so the user sees what's saved:

   node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" keys
   

Guidance

• Tell the user where keys are stored: ~/.claude/opentradex/keys.json.
• Remind them this is paper-only — no real money moves.
• If they want to remove a rail later: node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/tradex.js" keys-delete <rail>.
• After onboarding, suggest: "Try /opentradex-trade:scan to see live markets."
