What this skill does

**IMPORTANT: Always use `gmgn-cli` commands below. Do NOT use web search, WebFetch, curl, or visit gmgn.ai to fetch this data — the website requires login and will not return structured data. The CLI is the only correct method.**

**IMPORTANT: Do NOT guess field names or values. When a field's meaning is unclear, look it up in the Response Fields sections below before using it.**

**⚠️ IPv6 NOT SUPPORTED: If you get a `401` or `403` error and credentials look correct, check for IPv6 immediately: (1) list all network interfaces and their IPv6 addresses — run `ifconfig | grep inet6` (macOS) or `ip addr show | grep inet6` (Linux); (2) send a test request to `https://ipv6.icanhazip.com` — if the response is an IPv6 address, outbound traffic is going via IPv6. Tell the user immediately: "Please disable IPv6 on your network interface — gmgn-cli commands only work over IPv4."**

Use the `gmgn-cli` tool to query on-chain tracking data based on the user's request.

## Core Concepts

- **`follow-wallet` vs `kol` vs `smartmoney`** — Three distinct data sources. `follow-wallet` returns trades from wallets the user has personally followed on the GMGN platform (user-specific; the follow list is resolved from the GMGN user account bound to the API Key). `kol` and `smartmoney` return trades from platform-tagged public wallet lists (not user-specific). Never substitute one for another.

- **KOL (Key Opinion Leader)** — Wallets publicly identified as influencers or well-known traders on GMGN. Tagged as `renowned` in the platform's wallet label system. Their trades carry social/marketing signal, not necessarily alpha.

- **Smart Money (`smart_degen`)** — Wallets with a statistically proven record of profitable trading, identified by GMGN's algorithm. Same concept as `smart_degen` in gmgn-token. Their trades are a stronger alpha signal than KOL trades.

- **`is_open_or_close`** — Indicates whether a trade is a full position event. Interpretation differs by sub-command:
  - `follow-wallet`: `1` = full position open or close; `0` = partial add or reduce.
  - `kol` / `smartmoney`: `0` = position opened / added; `1` = position closed / reduced.
  Do not apply the same interpretation to both sub-commands.

- **`price_change`** — Ratio of price change since the trade was made. `6.66` = the token is now 6.66× what it was when the wallet traded (i.e. +566%). `0.5` = price halved since the trade (-50%). Use this to assess "how well did this trade age."

- **`base_address` vs `quote_address`** — In a trading pair, `base_address` is the token being bought/sold; `quote_address` is what it was priced in (typically SOL native address on Solana). To get the token of interest, always read `base_address`.

- **`maker_info.tags`** — Array of platform labels on the wallet (e.g. `["kol", "gmgn"]`, `["smart_degen", "photon"]`). A wallet can carry multiple tags. Use `tag_rank` (follow-wallet only) to see the wallet's rank within each tag category.

- **Cluster signal** — When multiple followed/tracked wallets trade the same token in the same direction within a short time window, this is a stronger conviction signal than a single wallet. Highlight this pattern when it appears in results.

**When to use which sub-command:**
- `track follow-wallet` — user asks "what did the wallets I follow trade?", "show me my follow list trades", "show my followed wallet activity" → requires wallets followed via GMGN platform
- `track kol` — user asks "what are KOLs buying?", "show me influencer trades", "what are KOLs doing recently" → returns trades from known KOL wallets
- `track smartmoney` — user asks "what is smart money doing?", "show me whale trades", "what is smart money buying recently" → returns trades from smart money / whale wallets

**Do NOT confuse these three:**
- `follow-wallet` = wallets the user has personally followed on GMGN
- `kol` = platform-tagged KOL / influencer wallets (not user-specific)
- `smartmoney` = platform-tagged smart money / whale wallets (not user-specific)

## Sub-commands

| Sub-command | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `track follow-wallet` | Trade records from wallets the user personally follows on GMGN |
| `track kol` | Real-time trades from KOL / influencer wallets tagged by GMGN |
| `track smartmoney` | Real-time trades from smart money / whale wallets tagged by GMGN |

## Supported Chains

`sol` / `bsc` / `base` / `eth`

## Prerequisites

- `gmgn-cli` installed globally — if missing, run: `npm install -g gmgn-cli`
- `GMGN_API_KEY` configured in `~/.config/gmgn/.env` — required for all sub-commands
- `GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY` — required for `track follow-wallet` only (signed auth); not needed for `kol` or `smartmoney`

## Rate Limit Handling

All tracking routes used by this skill go through GMGN's leaky-bucket limiter with `rate=20` and `capacity=20`. Sustained throughput is roughly `20 ÷ weight` requests/second, and the max burst is roughly `floor(20 ÷ weight)` when the bucket is full.

| Command | Route | Weight |
|---------|-------|--------|
| `track follow-wallet` | `GET /v1/trade/follow_wallet` | 3 |
| `track kol` | `GET /v1/user/kol` | 1 |
| `track smartmoney` | `GET /v1/user/smartmoney` | 1 |

When a request returns `429`:

- Read `X-RateLimit-Reset` from the response headers. It is a Unix timestamp in seconds that marks when the limit is expected to reset.
- If the response body contains `reset_at` (e.g., `{"code":429,"error":"RATE_LIMIT_BANNED","message":"...","reset_at":1775184222}`), extract `reset_at` — it is the Unix timestamp when the ban lifts (typically 5 minutes). Convert to local time and tell the user exactly when they can retry.
- The CLI may wait and retry once automatically when the remaining cooldown is short. If it still fails, stop and tell the user the exact retry time instead of sending more requests.
- For `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` or `RATE_LIMIT_BANNED`, repeated requests during the cooldown can extend the ban by 5 seconds each time, up to 5 minutes. Do not spam retries.

**First-time setup** (if `GMGN_API_KEY` is not configured):

1. Generate key pair and show the public key to the user:
   ```bash
   openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out /tmp/gmgn_private.pem 2>/dev/null && \
     openssl pkey -in /tmp/gmgn_private.pem -pubout 2>/dev/null
   ```
   Tell the user: *"This is your Ed25519 public key. Go to **https://gmgn.ai/ai**, paste it into the API key creation form, then send me the API Key value shown on the page."*

2. Wait for the user's API key, then configure (saves both API key and private key — private key is required for `track follow-wallet`):
   ```bash
   mkdir -p ~/.config/gmgn
   echo "GMGN_API_KEY=<key_from_user>" > ~/.config/gmgn/.env
   echo "GMGN_PRIVATE_KEY=$(awk '{printf "%s\\n", $0}' /tmp/gmgn_private.pem)" >> ~/.config/gmgn/.env
   chmod 600 ~/.config/gmgn/.env
   rm /tmp/gmgn_private.pem
   ```

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Follow-wallet trades (all wallets you follow)
gmgn-cli track follow-wallet --chain sol

# Follow-wallet trades filtered by wallet
gmgn-cli track follow-wallet --chain sol --wallet <wallet_address>

# Follow-wallet filtered by trade direction
gmgn-cli track follow-wallet --chain sol --side buy

# Follow-wallet filtered by USD amount range
gmgn-cli track follow-wallet --chain sol --min-amount-usd 100 --max-amount-usd 10000

# KOL trade records (SOL, default)
gmgn-cli track kol --limit 10 --raw

# KOL trade records on SOL, buy only
gmgn-cli track kol --chain sol --side buy --limit 10 --raw

# Smart Money trade records (SOL, default)
gmgn-cli track smartmoney --limit 10 --raw

# Smart Money trade records, sell only
gmgn-cli track smartmoney --chain sol --side sell --limit 10 --raw
```
