Uniswap Research And Trade

Overview

This is the autonomous research-to-execution pipeline. Instead of manually calling four different agents and wiring their outputs together, this skill runs the full expert workflow in one command: research a token, find the best pool, assess risk, and -- only if the risk assessment approves -- execute the trade. Why this is 10x better than calling agents individually: Compound context: Each agent receives the accumulated findings from all prior agents. The risk-assessor doesn't just evaluate a swap in isolation -- it sees the token-analyst's liquidity warnings, the pool-researcher's depth analysis, and the exact trade size, enabling a far richer risk assessment than standalone invocation. Automatic risk gating: A VETO at any stage short-circuits the pipeline immediately. No wasted gas, no wasted time, and you get a full explanation of why. Single command for a 4-step expert workflow: Manually coordinating token research, pool selection, risk evaluation, and trade execution takes significant time and expertise. This compresses it into one natural-language request. Progressive disclosure: You see each stage's findings as they complete, not just a final result. If the pipeline stops at risk assessment, you still get the full research report.

When to Use

Activate when the user says anything like: "Research UNI and buy if it looks good" "Due diligence on AAVE then trade" "Investigate and trade ARB" "Should I buy LINK? If so, do it" "Is PEPE safe to trade? Buy $500 worth if yes" "Research X, assess risk, and swap if it passes" "Autonomous trade: research then execute" "Check out TOKEN and buy some if the risk is acceptable" Do NOT use when the user just wants research without trading (use research-token instead) or just wants to execute a swap without research (use execute-swap instead).

Step 1: Research (token-analyst)

• Delegate to Task(subagent_type:token-analyst) with:
• Token symbol or address
• Target chain
• Request: full due diligence report
• What to pass to the agent:
• Research this token for a potential trade:
• Token: {token}
• Chain: {chain}
• Trade size: {amount}
• Provide a full due diligence report: liquidity across all pools, volume profile
• (24h/7d/30d), risk factors, and a trading recommendation with maximum trade size
• at < 1% price impact.
• Present to user after completion:
• Step 1/5: Token Research Complete
• Token: UNI (Uniswap) on Ethereum
• Total Liquidity: $85M across 24 pools
• 24h Volume: $15M | 7d Volume: $95M
• Volume Trend: Stable
• Risk Factors: None significant
• Max Trade (< 1% impact): $2.5M
• Proceeding to pool analysis...
• Gate check: If the token-analyst reports critical risk factors (total liquidity < $100K, no pools found, token not verified), present findings and ask the user if they want to continue before proceeding.

Step 2: Pool Analysis (pool-researcher)

• Delegate to Task(subagent_type:pool-researcher) with the token research output:
• Find the best pool for trading {token}/{payWith} on {chain}.
• Context from token research:
• Total liquidity: {from Step 1}
• Dominant pool: {from Step 1}
• Risk factors: {from Step 1}
• Trade details:
• Trade size: {amount}
• Direction: {action} (buying/selling {token})
• Analyze all pools for this pair across fee tiers. For each pool, report:
• fee APY, TVL, liquidity depth at the trade size, and price impact estimate.
• Recommend the best pool for this specific trade.
• Present to user after completion:
• Step 2/5: Pool Analysis Complete
• Best Pool: WETH/UNI 0.3% (V3, Ethereum)
• Pool TVL: $42M
• Price Impact: ~0.3% for your trade size
• Fee Tier: 0.3% (3000 bps)
• Proceeding to risk assessment...

Step 3: Risk Assessment (risk-assessor)

Delegate to Task(subagent_type:risk-assessor) with compound context from Steps 1 and 2: Evaluate risk for this proposed swap: Operation: swap {amount} {payWith} for {token} Pool: {best pool from Step 2} Chain: {chain} Risk tolerance: {riskTolerance} Token research context (from token-analyst): {Full token research summary from Step 1} Pool analysis context (from pool-researcher): {Full pool analysis from Step 2} Evaluate all applicable risk dimensions: slippage, liquidity, smart contract risk. Provide a clear APPROVE / CONDITIONAL_APPROVE / VETO / HARD_VETO decision. Conditional gate logic after risk-assessor returns: DecisionActionAPPROVEPresent risk summary, proceed to Step 4 (user confirmation)CONDITIONAL_APPROVEShow conditions (e.g., "split into 2 tranches"). Ask user: "Accept conditions?"VETOSTOP. Show full research report + risk assessment + veto reason. Suggest alternatives.HARD_VETOSTOP. Show reason. Non-negotiable -- do not offer to proceed. Present to user (APPROVE case): Step 3/5: Risk Assessment Complete Decision: APPROVE Composite Risk: LOW Slippage Risk: LOW (0.3% estimated) Liquidity Risk: LOW (pool TVL 840x trade size) Smart Contract Risk: LOW (V3, 18-month-old pool) Ready for your confirmation... Present to user (VETO case): Step 3/5: Risk Assessment -- VETOED Decision: VETO Reason: Price impact of 4.2% exceeds moderate risk tolerance (max 2%) Research Summary: Token: SMALLCAP ($180K total liquidity) Best Pool: WETH/SMALLCAP 1% (V3, $95K TVL) Your trade size ($5,000) represents 5.3% of pool TVL Suggestions: - Reduce trade size to < $1,000 for acceptable slippage - Use a limit order instead: "Submit limit order for SMALLCAP" - Try a different chain if more liquidity exists elsewhere Pipeline stopped. No trade executed.

Step 4: User Confirmation

Before executing any trade, present a clear summary and ask for explicit confirmation: Trade Confirmation Required Research: UNI — $85M liquidity, stable volume, no risk factors Risk: APPROVED (LOW composite risk) Swap Details: Sell: 0.5 WETH (~$980) Buy: ~28.5 UNI Pool: WETH/UNI 0.3% (V3, Ethereum) Impact: ~0.3% Gas: ~$8 estimated Proceed with this trade? (yes/no) Only proceed to Step 5 if the user explicitly confirms.

Step 5: Execute (trade-executor)

• Delegate to Task(subagent_type:trade-executor) with the full pipeline context:
• Execute this swap:
• Sell: {amount} {payWith}
• Buy: {token}
• Pool: {best pool address from Step 2}
• Chain: {chain}
• Slippage tolerance: {derived from risk assessment}
• Risk assessment: APPROVED, composite risk {level}
• The token has been researched (liquidity: {X}, volume: {Y}) and risk-assessed
• (slippage: {Z}, liquidity: {W}). Proceed with execution through the safety pipeline.
• Present final result:
• Step 5/5: Trade Executed
• Sold: 0.5 WETH ($980.00)
• Received: 28.72 UNI ($985.50)
• Pool: WETH/UNI 0.3% (V3, Ethereum)
• Slippage: 0.28% (within tolerance)
• Gas: $7.20
• Tx: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x...
• ──────────────────────────────────────
• Pipeline Summary
• ──────────────────────────────────────
• Research: UNI — $85M liquidity, stable, no risk flags
• Pool: WETH/UNI 0.3% — best depth for trade size
• Risk: APPROVED (LOW)
• Execution: Success — 28.72 UNI received
• Total cost: $987.20 (trade + gas)

Successful Pipeline (all 5 steps)

Research and Trade Complete Token: {symbol} ({name}) on {chain} Research: {1-line summary from token-analyst} Pool: {pool pair} {fee}% ({version}, {chain}) Risk: {decision} ({composite_risk}) Trade: Sold: {amount} {payWith} (${usd_value}) Received: {amount} {token} (${usd_value}) Impact: {slippage}% Gas: ${gas_cost} Tx: {explorer_link} Pipeline: Research -> Pool -> Risk -> Confirm -> Execute (all passed)

Vetoed Pipeline (stopped at risk)

Research and Trade -- Risk Vetoed Token: {symbol} ({name}) on {chain} Research: {1-line summary} Pool: {best pool found} Risk: VETOED — {reason} Details: {risk dimension scores} Suggestions: - {mitigation 1} - {mitigation 2} Pipeline: Research -> Pool -> Risk (VETOED) -- No trade executed.

Important Notes

This skill always researches first. It never skips to trading. If the user just wants a quick swap without research, redirect them to execute-swap. Risk gating is non-negotiable for HARD_VETO. If the risk-assessor issues a HARD_VETO (unverified token, pool TVL < $1K, price impact > 10%), the pipeline stops. The user cannot override this. VETO is informational. For a regular VETO, present the full research and explain why. The user can then choose to use execute-swap directly if they want to proceed at their own risk -- but this skill will not do it. Compound context is the key differentiator. The risk-assessor is dramatically more useful when it has the token-analyst's risk factors and the pool-researcher's depth analysis, compared to calling it standalone with just a swap request. Progressive output keeps the user informed. Don't wait until the end to show results. After each agent completes, show a brief summary so the user knows what's happening. Amount is required. Never assume a trade size. If the user says "research and buy UNI" without an amount, ask: "How much would you like to trade?"
