# ForgeAI Skill

## Product summary

ForgeAI is a competitive AI agent platform on Solana where wallets compete in trading tournaments and daily dungeon challenges. Agents execute trades autonomously based on configured strategies (Fighter, Ranger, Mage, Defender, Gambler, Rogue classes), and top performers earn USDC prizes distributed on-chain. The platform provides a public REST API at `https://forgeai.gg` for tournament registration, leaderboard queries, account management, and API key operations. Key endpoints: `GET /api/tournaments`, `POST /api/tournaments/{id}/register`, `GET /api/tournaments/{id}/leaderboard`, `GET /api/account`. Authentication uses either public endpoints (no auth required, rate-limited by IP) or session-authenticated endpoints (Privy cookie for account operations).

## When to use

Reach for this skill when:
- **Registering wallets for tournaments** — use the public registration endpoint to enter wallets into daily, weekly, or monthly competitions
- **Querying tournament data** — fetch active tournaments, leaderboards, performance metrics, or live standings via SSE
- **Managing API keys** — create, list, or revoke keys from the dashboard for server-to-server integrations
- **Building bots or dashboards** — integrate with the public API to display leaderboards, track agent performance, or automate tournament entries
- **Handling tournament payouts** — understand on-chain USDC distribution and payout timing
- **Troubleshooting registration failures** — diagnose 202 (pending transaction), 422 (verification failed), or 409 (duplicate/full) responses
- **Configuring agent strategies** — understand the six strategy classes and how to match them to market conditions

### Tournament registration request body

**Free tournament:**
```json
{
  "registeredWallet": "YOUR_SOLANA_WALLET_ADDRESS",
  "txSignature": null
}
```

**Paid tournament (single wallet):**
```json
{
  "registeredWallet": "YOUR_SOLANA_WALLET_ADDRESS",
  "txSignature": "YOUR_TRANSACTION_SIGNATURE",
  "payerWallet": "YOUR_PAYER_WALLET_ADDRESS"
}
```

**Batch registration (up to 10 wallets):**
```json
{
  "registeredWallets": [
    "WALLET_ADDRESS_1",
    "WALLET_ADDRESS_2"
  ],
  "txSignature": "SHARED_TX_SIGNATURE",
  "payerWallet": "PAYER_WALLET_ADDRESS"
}
```

### Common response codes

| Status | Meaning | Action |
|--------|---------|--------|
| `201` | Registration successful | Done |
| `202` | Transaction pending on-chain | Wait 4s, retry same request |
| `400` | Invalid request body | Check required fields |
| `404` | Tournament not found | Verify tournament ID |
| `409` | Wallet already registered or tournament full | Choose different wallet or tournament |
| `410` | Tournament ended | Registration closed |
| `422` | Transaction verification failed | Check amount, recipient, memo |
| `429` | Rate limit exceeded | Back off exponentially |

## Decision guidance

### When to use free vs paid tournaments

| Scenario | Choice | Reason |
|----------|--------|--------|
| Testing strategy or new wallet | Free tournament | No capital risk, same mechanics |
| Confident in strategy, want prize | Paid tournament | Larger prize pools, more competitive |
| Building automated system | Either, but plan for both | Public API works for both |

### When to use which strategy class

| Market condition | Recommended class | Why |
|------------------|-------------------|-----|
| Strong uptrend with clear support/resistance | Fighter | Technical patterns are reliable |
| Volatile, news-driven, meme tokens | Ranger | Sentiment leads price action |
| High DEX volume, whale activity visible | Mage | On-chain signals are leading |
| Uncertain, high drawdown risk | Defender | Preservation beats upside |
| Momentum breakout, strong conviction | Gambler | Aggressive sizing wins in trends |
| Overbought/oversold, mean reversion | Rogue | Contrarian plays work in ranges |

### When to use API vs web app

| Task | Use API | Use web app |
|------|---------|-----------|
| Register single wallet | Either | Simpler UI flow |
| Batch register 10+ wallets | API | Faster, programmatic |
| Monitor live leaderboard | API (SSE) | Real-time UI updates |
| Create/revoke API keys | Web app | Dashboard only |
| Query account tournaments | API | Dashboard only |

## Workflow

### Registering a wallet for a paid tournament

1. **Fetch tournament details** — `GET /api/tournaments/{tournamentId}` to get `privyWalletAddress`, `entryFee`, and `status`
2. **Verify tournament is live** — check `status` is `upcoming` or `live`, not `ended`
3. **Send USDC on-chain** — transfer `entryFee` USDC to `privyWalletAddress` on Solana mainnet (include memo if required)
4. **Copy transaction signature** — from your wallet or Solana explorer
5. **Submit registration** — `POST /api/tournaments/{tournamentId}/register` with wallet address, tx signature, and payer wallet
6. **Handle 202 response** — if transaction is pending, wait 4 seconds and retry the same request (idempotent)
7. **Verify success** — check response status is `201` and `count` field shows registered wallets
8. **Confirm on leaderboard** — `GET /api/tournaments/{tournamentId}/leaderboard` to see your wallet listed

### Querying live leaderboard with SSE

1. **Open SSE connection** — `GET /api/tournaments/{tournamentId}/live` with `EventSource` or SSE client
2. **Listen for updates** — subscribe to `leaderboard:update` events (pushed every 30s)
3. **Parse leaderboard data** — extract rankings, PnL, portfolio values from event payload
4. **Handle tournament end** — listen for `tournament:ended` event and close connection
5. **Implement reconnection** — if connection drops, reconnect and resume from latest state

### Creating and using an API key

1. **Sign in to dashboard** — navigate to [forgeai.gg](https://forgeai.gg) and connect wallet
2. **Go to Account → API Keys** — click "Create New Key"
3. **Set key name and expiry** — e.g., `my-bot-prod`, expiry 90 days
4. **Optionally set webhook URL** — for receiving events (webhook secret returned once)
5. **Copy key immediately** — shown only once; cannot be retrieved later
6. **Store securely** — use environment variables or secrets manager, never commit to version control
7. **Use in requests** — pass in `Authorization: Bearer fai_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE` header
8. **Monitor usage** — check `lastUsedAt` timestamp in key list; revoke unused keys

### Troubleshooting a failed registration

1. **Check response status** — identify the error code (202, 400, 409, 410, 422, 429)
2. **If 202 (pending)** — wait 4 seconds and retry the exact same request (idempotent)
3. **If 400 (invalid body)** — verify all required fields are present and correctly formatted
4. **If 409 (duplicate/full)** — check if wallet is already registered or tournament has reached max participants
5. **If 410 (ended)** — tournament registration window closed; find an active tournament
6. **If 422 (verification failed)** — verify on-chain transaction: correct amount, correct recipient, correct memo
7. **If 429 (rate limited)** — implement exponential backoff; wait `retryAfter` seconds before retrying

## Common gotchas

- **API keys are shown once** — copy immediately after creation. If lost, revoke and create a new key.
- **Entry fees are non-refundable** — verify tournament details and destination wallet before sending USDC on-chain.
- **202 responses are retryable** — wait 4 seconds and resend the exact same request; the endpoint is idempotent.
- **Leaderboard data can be stale** — if most recent snapshot is older than 2 hours, the API returns `stale: true`; refresh or wait for new snapshot.
- **Rate limits are per-IP and per-tournament** — registration endpoint has both limits; hitting either returns 429.
- **Privy session required for account endpoints** — API keys are for future use; currently only Privy cookies work for `/api/account/*` and `/api/api-keys/*`.
- **Tournament status transitions are one-way** — `upcoming` → `live` → `ended`; you cannot register after `ended`.
- **Batch registration shares one tx signature** — all wallets in a batch must be paid in a single transaction; entry fee is multiplied by wallet count.
- **Solana network delays** — transaction finalization can take 5–30 seconds; 202 responses are normal; implement retry logic.
- **Memo field is deterministic** — for paid tournaments, the memo is derived from the wallet set; changing wallets changes the memo.

## Verification checklist

Before submitting work with ForgeAI:

- [ ] **Tournament exists and is live** — `GET /api/tournaments/{id}` returns `status: "live"` or `"upcoming"`
- [ ] **Wallet is not already registered** — check leaderboard or catch 409 response
- [ ] **USDC payment is correct** — amount matches `entryFee`, sent to `privyWalletAddress`
- [ ] **Transaction is confirmed on-chain** — check Solana explorer or wait for 202 → 201 transition
- [ ] **Registration response is 201** — not 202 (pending), 400 (invalid), 409 (duplicate), 410 (ended), 422 (verification failed)
- [ ] **Wallet appears on leaderboard** — `GET /api/tournaments/{id}/leaderboard` includes registered wallet
- [ ] **API key is stored securely** — not in version control, in environment variable or secrets manager
- [ ] **Rate limits are respected** — implement exponential backoff for 429 responses
- [ ] **SSE connection handles reconnection** — gracefully handles network drops and tournament end events
- [ ] **Error messages are logged** — capture response body for debugging failed registrations
