## What is this?

`coinhunter` is the **executable tooling layer** for CoinHunter — an installable Python CLI that handles trading operations, market probes, precheck orchestration, and review workflows.

> **Note:** The old package name `coinhunter-cli` is deprecated. Please install `coinhunter` going forward.

| Layer | Responsibility | Location |
|-------|----------------|----------|
| **CLI** | Top-level command router | `cli.py` |
| **Commands** | Thin argument adapters | `commands/` |
| **Services** | Orchestration & execution logic | `services/` |
| **Runtime** | Paths, env, locks, config | `runtime.py` |
| **User Data** | State, logs, reviews, positions | `~/.coinhunter/` |

> **Separation of concerns:** Code lives in this repo. Your data lives in `~/.coinhunter/`. Strategy and prompting live in Hermes skills.

## Installation

### From PyPI (recommended)

`coinhunter` is a standalone CLI application. Use [pipx](https://pypa.github.io/pipx/) to install it in an isolated environment:

```bash
pipx install coinhunter
```

This installs the latest stable release and creates the `coinhunter` console script entry point.

Verify:

```bash
coinhunter --help
coinhunter --version
```

> On newer Linux distributions, installing directly into the system Python with `pip install coinhunter` will fail with `externally-managed-environment`. Use `pipx` or a virtual environment instead.

### Development install (editable)

If you're working on this repo locally:

```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

Or use the convenience script:

```bash
./scripts/install_local.sh
```

A thin wrapper that runs `pip install -e .` and verifies the entrypoint is on your PATH.

```bash
coinhunter diag              # runtime diagnostics

coinhunter exec overview     # account overview as JSON
coinhunter exec hold         # record a HOLD decision
coinhunter exec buy ENJUSDT 50   # buy $50 of ENJUSDT
coinhunter exec flat ENJUSDT     # sell entire ENJUSDT position
coinhunter exec rotate PEPEUSDT ETHUSDT  # rotate exposure
coinhunter exec orders       # list open spot orders
coinhunter exec order-status ENJUSDT 123456  # check specific order
coinhunter exec cancel ENJUSDT 123456        # cancel an open order
coinhunter gate              # external gate orchestration
coinhunter review 12         # generate review context (last 12h)
coinhunter recap 12          # generate review report (last 12h)
coinhunter probe bybit-ticker BTCUSDT   # market probe
coinhunter rotate-log        # rotate external gate logs
```

### Legacy long forms (still supported)

coinhunter doctor
coinhunter check-api
coinhunter smart-executor bal
coinhunter review-context 12
coinhunter review-engine 12
coinhunter market-probe bybit-ticker BTCUSDT
coinhunter external-gate

| `check-api` | `api-check` |
| `doctor` | `diag` |
| `external-gate` | `gate` |
| `init` | — |
| `market-probe` | `probe` |
| `paths` | — |

---

## Quickstart

Initialize runtime state:

```bash
coinhunter init
```

Inspect the environment:

```bash
coinhunter paths
coinhunter diag
```

Validate API keys:

```bash
coinhunter api-check
```

Run the precheck workflow:

```bash
coinhunter precheck
coinhunter precheck --ack "analysis completed"
```

Run the external gate:

```bash
coinhunter gate
```

The gate reads `trigger_command` from `~/.coinhunter/config.json` under `external_gate`.
- By default, no external trigger is configured — gate runs precheck and marks state, then exits cleanly.
- Set `trigger_command` to a command list to integrate with your own scheduler:

```json
{
  "external_gate": {
    "trigger_command": ["hermes", "cron", "run", "JOB_ID"]
  }
}
```

- Set to `null` or `[]` to explicitly disable the external trigger.

### Dynamic tuning via `config.json`

You can override internal defaults without editing code by adding keys to `~/.coinhunter/config.json`:

```json
{
  "external_gate": {
    "trigger_command": ["hermes", "cron", "run", "JOB_ID"]
  },
  "exchange": {
    "min_quote_volume": 200000,
    "cache_ttl_seconds": 3600
  },
  "logging": {
    "schema_version": 2
  }
}
```

| Key | Default | Effect |
|-----|---------|--------|
| `exchange.min_quote_volume` | `200000` | Minimum 24h quote volume for a symbol to appear in market snapshots |
| `exchange.cache_ttl_seconds` | `3600` | How long the ccxt exchange instance (and `load_markets()` result) is cached |
| `logging.schema_version` | `2` | Schema version stamped on every JSONL log entry |

## Runtime Model

Default data layout:

```text
~/.coinhunter/
├── config.json
├── positions.json
├── accounts.json
├── watchlist.json
├── notes.json
├── executions.json
├── logs/
├── reviews/
├── cache/
└── state/
    ├── precheck_state.json
    └── external_gate.lock
```

Credential resolution:

- Binance API keys are read from `~/.hermes/.env` by default.
- Override with `COINHUNTER_ENV_FILE`.
- Override home with `COINHUNTER_HOME` or `HERMES_HOME`.
- `hermes` binary is resolved from `PATH`, then `~/.local/bin/hermes`, unless `HERMES_BIN` is set.

## Development Status

The codebase is actively maintained and refactored in small, safe steps.

**Recently completed:**
- ✅ Unified CLI entrypoint with short aliases
- ✅ Extracted `smart-executor` into `commands/` + `services/`
- ✅ Extracted `precheck` into 9 focused service modules
- ✅ Migrated all active command modules into `commands/`
- ✅ Extracted `review_engine.py` core logic into `services/review_service.py`
- ✅ Removed eager `PATHS` instantiation across services and commands
- ✅ Fixed `smart_executor.py` lazy-loading facade
- ✅ Standardized install to use `pip install -e .`
- ✅ Made `external_gate` trigger_command configurable (no longer hardcodes hermes)
- ✅ Removed dead `auto-trader` command
- ✅ Backward-compatible root facades preserved

**Next priorities:**
- 🔧 Add basic CI (lint + compileall + pytest)
- 🔧 Unify output contract (JSON-first with `--pretty` option)

## Philosophy

CoinHunter is evolving toward:

- **Professional execution** — scientific position sizing, not moonshot gambling
- **Maintainable architecture** — clear boundaries between CLI, services, and domain logic
- **Safer operations** — dry-run, validation gates, and explicit decision logging
- **Agent-friendly interfaces** — stable JSON outputs and predictable command contracts
- **Less dependence on prompt-only correctness** — logic belongs in code, not just in system prompts

This repo is where that evolution happens.
