Bybit Adds AI Trading Skills

Bybit rolled the feature out on March 13, 2026, in a Chainwire-backed release that industry outlets noted while also describing Bybit as the world’s second‑largest exchange by trading volume. (dailycoin.com) Bybit published an open-source “skills” repository (version 1.0.3) that exposes the skill via a single SKILL.md URL any AI assistant can fetch and install automatically, according to the repo README. (github.com) The README lists supported AI platforms explicitly — ChatGPT, Claude (Code/Desktop/API), Gemini, OpenClaw, Cursor and Windsurf — enabling connector-based installs for cloud and local assistants. (github.com) Technical surface details in the repo show market data granularity and limits: 13 kline intervals, orderbook depth to 500 levels, and batch order capacity of 20 orders per batch, plus WebSocket streams, RFQ/options pricing and crypto‑loan primitives. (github.com) Operational guardrails are codified in the skill: recommended API keys with Read+Trade only and IP binding, suggested sub‑account use, mainnet write ops requiring a typed CONFIRM, large‑order warnings at >20% of balance or $10,000, API‑key masking and local HMAC signing so secrets don’t leave the device. (github.com) Quick‑start instructions in the repository show environment variable examples for local CLI use and note that cloud assistants will request credentials and retain them in memory for the session only, enabling an explicit testnet mode for safe experimentation.
