DFM Agent

DFM Agent is a fully autonomous AI skill for DTF (DeFi Token Fund) vault management on Solana. The agent researches markets, decides everything — name, symbol, asset allocations, fee structure, policy configuration — and deploys on-chain. No human-in-the-loop confirmation. The policy engine is the guardrail, not a human approval step.

Core Philosophy

The agent is the creator. It has full authority over what it launches.

|                                                                |
|  1. RESEARCH    Agent analyzes markets, trending tokens,       |
|                 liquidity, volume, and macro conditions         |
|                                                                |

|                 allocations, fees, and policy rules             |

|  3. DEPLOY      Two-step vault creation:                       |
|                 a) POST /launch-dtf -> unsigned transaction     |
|                 b) Agent signs tx & submits on-chain            |
|                 c) POST /dtf-create -> policy + DB persist      |
|                                                                |
|  4. MANAGE      Agent monitors, rebalances, distributes fees   |
|                 -- all autonomously via API calls               |
|                                                                |
|  GUARDRAILS:    Policy engine validates constraints.            |
|                 Invalid payloads return errors with specifics.  |
|                 NO human confirmation step.                     |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

Principle	Detail
Fully autonomous	Agent decides everything: name, symbol, assets, allocations, policy, fees. No confirmation prompts.
Two-step vault creation	`POST /launch-dtf` builds the unsigned tx, agent signs & submits, then `POST /dtf-create` creates policy + persists to DB.
Policy engine as guardrail	Backend validates the payload and policy config. If valid, it deploys. If not, it returns an error with the specific issue.
Non-custodial	Agent Wallet private key never leaves the user's machine. Backend never receives secret keys.
Agent = on-chain authority	The Agent Wallet becomes the permanent on-chain creator/manager of every vault it deploys.

Sensitive Data Rules (MANDATORY -- READ FIRST)

NEVER print, echo, log, or display the values of these environment variables in terminal output:

```
DFM_AUTH_TOKEN
```
-- JWT auth token
```
DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR
```
-- base58 secret key
Any private key, secret key, or auth token

To check if an env var is set, use length check only:

bash

node -e 'console.log(process.env.DFM_AUTH_TOKEN ? "set" : "not set")'

NEVER do any of the following:

bash

# WRONG - exposes token in terminal output
echo $DFM_AUTH_TOKEN
export DFM_AUTH_TOKEN="eyJ..."   # WRONG - token visible in bash command
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJ..." ...   # WRONG - token embedded in command
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $DFM_AUTH_TOKEN" ...   # WRONG - shell expands and displays it

ALL API calls MUST use inline
node -e
scripts that read env vars internally via

process.env

. This prevents sensitive values from appearing in the bash command itself.

Correct pattern for API calls:

bash

node -e '
const http = require("http");
const https = require("https");
const url = new URL(process.env.DFM_API_URL + "/api/v2/agent/dtf/SYMBOL/state");
const client = url.protocol === "https:" ? https : http;
const req = client.get(url, { headers: { "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DFM_AUTH_TOKEN } }, (res) => {
  let data = "";
  res.on("data", (chunk) => data += chunk);
  res.on("end", () => console.log(data));
});
req.on("error", (e) => console.error("Error:", e.message));
'

Do NOT use
curl
for API calls. Always use

node -e

with

process.env

references so tokens and keys are never visible in the command string.

IMPORTANT: No timeout on API calls. When running Bash commands that make API calls, always set

timeout: 600000

(10 minutes) or use

run_in_background: true

. The default Bash timeout is 2 minutes which is too short for on-chain operations like vault creation, rebalancing, and fee distribution. Never let an API call get killed by a timeout.

Pre-Flight Auth Check (REQUIRED)

You MUST complete this check before making any API call. Do not skip this step.

Step 1: Ensure

.claude/settings.json

has env vars

Claude Code runs bash in a non-interactive subprocess that does NOT source

~/.zshrc

~/.bashrc

. Environment variables set via

export

in the user's terminal are NOT available to Claude Code's bash commands. The only reliable way to pass env vars to Claude Code is via

.claude/settings.json

On every pre-flight check, run this script to sync env vars from

~/.zshrc

into

.claude/settings.json

bash

node -e '
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
const os = require("os");

const settingsPath = path.join(process.cwd(), ".claude", "settings.json");
let settings = {};
try { settings = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(settingsPath, "utf8")); } catch {}
if (!settings.env) settings.env = {};

// Reject sentinel/placeholder values that should never be honoured.
const isInvalid = (v) => {
  if (!v || typeof v !== "string") return true;
  const t = v.trim();
  if (!t) return true;
  if (t === "+token+" || t === "<token>" || t.startsWith("+")) return true;
  if (t.startsWith("\"") || t.endsWith("\"")) return true; // stray quotes from bad templating
  return false;
};

let zshrc = "";
try { zshrc = fs.readFileSync(path.join(os.homedir(), ".zshrc"), "utf8"); } catch {}

const envVars = ["DFM_API_URL", "DFM_AUTH_TOKEN", "DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR", "SOLANA_RPC_URL", "AGENT_WALLET_PATH"];
for (const v of envVars) {
  // 1) Keep settings.json value if already valid (it is updated in-process by refresh / launch scripts).
  if (!isInvalid(settings.env[v])) continue;

  // 2) Pull from ~/.zshrc. Use a global regex and take the LAST match — newest export wins
  //    when the file accumulates multiple `export VAR=...` lines.
  const re = new RegExp("export\\s+" + v + "=[\"\\047]?([^\"\\047\\n]+)[\"\\047]?", "g");
  let lastMatch = null, m;
  while ((m = re.exec(zshrc)) !== null) lastMatch = m;
  if (lastMatch && !isInvalid(lastMatch[1])) {
    settings.env[v] = lastMatch[1];
    continue;
  }

  // 3) Final fallback: current process env
  if (!isInvalid(process.env[v])) settings.env[v] = process.env[v];
  else delete settings.env[v]; // ensure no garbage placeholder lingers
}

fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(settingsPath), { recursive: true });
fs.writeFileSync(settingsPath, JSON.stringify(settings, null, 2));

for (const v of envVars) {
  console.log(v + "=" + (!isInvalid(settings.env[v]) ? "set" : "NOT SET"));
}
'

If
DFM_AUTH_TOKEN
is SET but any API call returns 401 (Unauthorized / token expired):

Ask the user for their DFM-registered wallet address (only if you don't already know it).
Run the token refresh script below with the wallet address. The script calls
```
POST {DFM_API_URL}/api/v2/agent/token/refresh-by-wallet
```
, writes the new JWT to
```
.claude/settings.json
```
, and replaces any existing
```
export DFM_AUTH_TOKEN=
```
line in
```
~/.zshrc
```
(never appends — appending would accumulate stale tokens that the pre-flight may pick up first). The token value is never printed.
After the script reports
```
STATUS=success
```
, retry the original operation in the same session —
```
.claude/settings.json
```
is read by Claude Code on the next bash invocation, so no restart is required.

DO NOT improvise the refresh. Earlier improvised attempts have written literal placeholder strings (e.g.

+token+

) into

settings.json

. Always use this exact script.

Write the script once to

.claude/refresh-token.js

, then run it with

node .claude/refresh-token.js <WALLET_ADDRESS>

javascript

const http = require("http");
const https = require("https");
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
const os = require("os");

const apiUrl = process.env.DFM_API_URL;
const walletAddress = process.argv[2];
if (!apiUrl) { console.log("ERROR: DFM_API_URL not set"); process.exit(1); }
if (!walletAddress) { console.log("ERROR: usage: node refresh-token.js <walletAddress>"); process.exit(1); }

const payload = JSON.stringify({ walletAddress });
const url = new URL(apiUrl + "/api/v2/agent/token/refresh-by-wallet");
const client = url.protocol === "https:" ? https : http;

const req = client.request(url, {

}, (res) => {
  let data = "";
  res.on("data", (c) => data += c);
  res.on("end", () => {
    try {
      const json = JSON.parse(data);
      // Backend response shape: { status, message, data: { token, expires, expiresPrettyPrint, expiresAt } }
      const token = json.data?.token || json.token;
      if (!token || typeof token !== "string" || token.startsWith("+")) {
        console.log("ERROR: No valid token in response: " + data);

      s.env.DFM_AUTH_TOKEN = token;
      fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(sp), { recursive: true });
      fs.writeFileSync(sp, JSON.stringify(s, null, 2));

      // (2) REPLACE any existing DFM_AUTH_TOKEN export in ~/.zshrc; never append duplicates.
      const zshrcPath = path.join(os.homedir(), ".zshrc");
      let zshrc = "";
      try { zshrc = fs.readFileSync(zshrcPath, "utf8"); } catch {}
      const newLine = "export DFM_AUTH_TOKEN=\"" + token + "\"";
      const lineRe = /^\s*export\s+DFM_AUTH_TOKEN=.*$/gm;
      if (lineRe.test(zshrc)) {
        zshrc = zshrc.replace(lineRe, newLine);
      } else {
        if (zshrc.length && !zshrc.endsWith("\n")) zshrc += "\n";
        zshrc += newLine + "\n";
      }
      fs.writeFileSync(zshrcPath, zshrc);

      // Output ONLY safe info — NEVER the token
      console.log("STATUS=success");
      console.log("DFM_AUTH_TOKEN=set");
    } catch (e) {
      console.log("ERROR: " + e.message);
      process.exit(1);
    }
  });
});
req.on("error", (e) => { console.log("ERROR: " + e.message); process.exit(1); });
req.write(payload);
req.end();

If
DFM_AUTH_TOKEN
is NOT SET after this script, run the automated agent profile creation flow:

Ask the user for their DFM-registered wallet address (the Solana public key they used to sign up on the DFM Dashboard):

To set up your DFM Agent, I need the Solana wallet address you registered on the DFM Dashboard (https://qa.dfm.finance). Please paste your wallet public key.
Ensure the agent wallet exists — the profile launch requires the agent's wallet public key.
- If
```
DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR
```
  is already set, derive the public key from it (do NOT generate a new one).
- If a keypair file exists at
```
AGENT_WALLET_PATH
```
  (default
```
~/.dfm/agent-wallet.json
```
  ), load it and derive the public key.
- Only if neither exists, generate a new keypair. See "Agent Wallet -- Keypair Generation" section below.
Once the user provides the wallet address and the agent keypair exists, auto-generate the agent profile name and username:
- Name: generate a creative agent name (e.g. "Alpha Sentinel", "Momentum Agent", "DeFi Navigator")
- Username: generate a unique username from the name (e.g. "alpha_sentinel", "momentum_agent")
- Don't worry about pre-checking uniqueness — the
```
profile-launch.js
```
  script auto-retries with a random 4-char hex suffix on any
```
409 "Username is already taken"
```
  from the backend (up to 5 attempts). Just pass a sensible base name/username; the script handles collisions silently.

Create the profile AND save the token in a single script — the API call, token extraction, and env var writing must all happen inside one script so the token is NEVER visible in terminal output. The script also auto-retries on duplicate-username 409s by appending a random suffix to the username (and re-runs up to 5 times) so the agent never has to be re-prompted for a new name. Write a script file and execute it:

Write a file called

.claude/profile-launch.js

with this content, then run it with

node .claude/profile-launch.js

javascript

const https = require("https");

}

attempt(cleanBase, baseName, 1);

Run it as:

node .claude/profile-launch.js <WALLET_ADDRESS> "<AGENT_NAME>" "<AGENT_USERNAME>"

The script derives

agentWalletAddress

from

DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR

automatically and includes it in the payload. It outputs ONLY

STATUS=success

AGENT_NAME=...

AGENT_USERNAME=...

AGENT_WALLET=...

ATTEMPTS=<n>

, and

DFM_AUTH_TOKEN=set

. The actual token value is written directly to

.claude/settings.json

and

~/.zshrc

— it NEVER appears in terminal output.

Username conflict retry behavior:

On HTTP
```
409
```
whose message references "username" (e.g.
```
"Username is already taken"
```
), the script appends a 4-hex-char suffix to the sanitized base username and re-issues
```
POST /profile-launch
```
. Up to 5 attempts.
During retries the script logs only
```
RETRY=username_taken attempt=<n> next_username=<new>
```
so the agent (and the human watching) can see progress without leaking secrets.
The display
```
name
```
is preserved across retries — only
```
username
```
changes.
On HTTP
```
409
```
whose message references "wallet" (e.g.
```
"An agent profile already exists for this wallet address"
```
), the script does NOT retry — that's an unrecoverable state for this flow. The agent should call
```
/token/refresh-by-wallet
```
instead.
If all 5 attempts collide, the script exits with a clear
```
ERROR:
```
line and the agent must surface the conflict to the user.

Tell the user: "Agent profile created! Restart your AI agent to pick up the auth token, then you're ready to go."

If
DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR
is NOT SET and the operation requires signing (launch-dtf, distribute-fees), auto-generate a wallet (see "Agent Wallet -- Keypair Generation" section below). Do not ask — just generate it.

Step 2: Proceed

If all required vars are set, proceed immediately with the requested operation. Do not ask for confirmation.

IMPORTANT: After writing to

.claude/settings.json

for the first time, tell the user to restart Claude Code so the env vars are picked up. On subsequent runs, the settings file already exists and env vars are available immediately.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

The user asks to launch, create, or deploy a DTF vault
The user asks to research tokens/markets and create a fund
The user wants to check vault state, policy, or rebalancing status
The user asks to rebalance a vault or distribute fees
The user needs to set up agent auth (wallet generation, token management)

Autonomous DTF Launch -- How It Works

When the user asks you to launch a DTF (e.g. "Create a blue chip Solana fund" or "Launch a meme token DTF"), follow this autonomous workflow:

Step 1: Research (Agent decides)

Use

WebSearch

and

WebFetch

tools for ALL DTF-related metadata -- token discovery, prices, market caps, volume, liquidity, mint addresses, trending assets, and market conditions. No exceptions.

Use

WebSearch

to find:

Top performing Solana tokens by market cap, volume, and price action
Current market conditions, trends, and sentiment
Token liquidity and 24h trading volume data
For yield DTFs: Solana LSTs (liquid staking tokens) and yield-bearing tokens — mSOL, jitoSOL, bSOL, INF, hSOL, stSOL, and their current APYs, TVLs, and staking yields

Use

WebFetch

to pull data from:

Token data aggregators (CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, Jupiter aggregator, Birdeye, DexScreener)
Solana token lists and verified registries for mint addresses
For yield DTFs: Staking yield aggregators, LST protocol sites (Marinade, Jito, BlazeStake, Sanctum), and DeFi yield dashboards

Then decide:

Identify candidate tokens based on the user's intent or strategy
Check token liquidity, 24h volume, market cap
For yield DTFs: Prioritize LSTs and yield-bearing assets with highest APY and deepest liquidity
Select the best tokens and determine allocations
Automatically discover each token's Solana
```
mintAddress
```
from reliable references (official docs, verified token lists, explorers, major data providers)
Cross-check mint addresses across multiple references before including them in
```
underlyingAssets
```
Reject unverified, conflicting, or low-confidence mint mappings and replace them with verified assets

Step 2: Design (Agent decides)

Based on your research, autonomously decide:

Vault type --
```
"DTF"
```
for standard diversified token funds,
```
"YIELD_DTF"
```
for yield-bearing / LST-focused funds. Set in the
```
dtf-create
```
payload.
Vault name -- descriptive, catchy, relevant to the strategy
Vault symbol -- short (max 10 chars), unique, memorable
Underlying assets -- pass asset
```
symbol
```
or
```
name
```
(preferred) with allocation in basis points (must sum to 10000). Backend resolves
```
mintAddress
```
from
```
asset-allocation
```
.
- For DTF: standard tokens (SOL, JUP, Bonk, RAY, etc.)
- For YIELD_DTF: LSTs and yield-bearing tokens (mSOL, jitoSOL, bSOL, INF, etc.)
Management fees -- in basis points (e.g. 200 = 2%)
Policy configuration -- asset limits, rebalance frequency, stablecoin minimums, etc.
Tags -- searchable categories (include "Yield", "LST", "Staking" for yield DTFs)
Description -- strategy summary
Launch media fields -- for DTF launch payloads, set
```
logoUrl
```
,
```
bannerUrl
```
, and
```
metadataUri
```
to empty strings.

Step 3: Deploy (Two-step flow)

3a. Build the unsigned transaction

Send

POST {DFM_API_URL}/api/v2/agent/launch-dtf

with the vault creation payload. The backend builds and returns an unsigned transaction.

json

{
  "signerPublicKey": "<public key derived from DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR>",
  "vaultName": "Solana Blue Chips",
  "vaultSymbol": "SOLBC",
  "underlyingAssets": [
    { "symbol": "SOL", "mintBps": 4000 },
    { "symbol": "JUP", "mintBps": 3000 },
    { "name": "Bonk", "mintBps": 3000 }
  ],
  "managementFees": 200,
  "category": 0,
  "threshold": 500
}

The response contains:

json

{
  "onChain": {
    "transaction": "base64-encoded-unsigned-versioned-transaction...",
    "vaultIndex": 42,
    "vaultPda": "7Xk...def",
    "vaultMintPda": "9Rm...ghi"
  }
}

3b. Sign and submit the transaction on-chain

Use the agent's local keypair to sign the returned transaction and submit it to Solana:

typescript

import { Keypair, VersionedTransaction, Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
const bs58 = require("bs58").default || require("bs58");

const keypair = Keypair.fromSecretKey(bs58.decode(process.env.DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR!));
const connection = new Connection(process.env.SOLANA_RPC_URL || "https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com");

// Deserialize the unsigned transaction from the API response
const txBytes = Buffer.from(response.onChain.transaction, "base64");
const tx = VersionedTransaction.deserialize(txBytes);

// Sign with the agent's keypair
tx.sign([keypair]);

// Submit on-chain
const signature = await connection.sendRawTransaction(tx.serialize(), {
  skipPreflight: false,
  preflightCommitment: "confirmed",
});

await connection.confirmTransaction(signature, "confirmed");

3c. Create policy and persist to DB

After the on-chain transaction confirms, send

POST {DFM_API_URL}/api/v2/agent/dtf-create

with the transaction signature and policy configuration:

You MUST include ALL policy fields in every
dtf-create
payload. The agent decides values based on the vault strategy. Missing fields default to 0/disabled which means no policy guardrails.

Policy field decision guide

The agent MUST decide ALL policy values based on the vault strategy:

Strategy Type	`max_asset_pct`	`min_asset_pct`	`min_amm_liquidity_usd`	`min_24h_volume_usd`	`max_rebalances_per_day`	`min_rebalance_interval_hours`
Conservative (blue chip, index)	3000-4000	500-1000	500000	1000000	2	6
Moderate (mixed, ecosystem)	4000-5000	500	100000	500000	3	4
Aggressive (meme, trending)	5000-6000	300	50000	100000	4	2
Yield (LSTs, staking, yield)	4000-5000	500-1000	500000	500000	1	12

Always set:

```
asset_mode
```
: choose based on the vault strategy:
- ```
"OPEN"
```
  — any asset can be added. No restrictions. Use for broad market / index / aggressive strategies.
- ```
"WHITELIST_ONLY"
```
  — only assets in
```
asset_whitelist
```
  are allowed. Use for curated funds (e.g. "only blue chips", "only LSTs"). Set
```
asset_whitelist
```
  to the mint addresses of the selected assets.
- ```
"OPEN_BLACKLIST"
```
  — all assets allowed except those in
```
asset_blacklist
```
  . Use when you want to exclude specific risky assets. Set
```
asset_blacklist
```
  to the mint addresses to exclude.
- ```
"WHITELIST_BLACKLIST"
```
  — only whitelisted assets allowed, with additional blacklist exclusions. Use for strict curated funds with explicit exclusions. Set both
```
asset_whitelist
```
  and
```
asset_blacklist
```
  .
- Decision rule: If the user asks for a specific category fund (e.g. "LST fund", "blue chip only", "top 5 DeFi tokens"), use
```
WHITELIST_ONLY
```
  . If the user asks for broad exposure, use
```
OPEN
```
  . If the user says "exclude meme coins" or similar, use
```
OPEN_BLACKLIST
```
  .
```
min_assets
```
: set to the number of assets in the vault (or lower)
```
max_assets
```
:
```
12
```
(hard max)
```
max_rebalance_pct
```
:
```
2000
```
-
```
3000
```
(20-30% max change per rebalance)

max_rebalances_per_week

max_rebalances_per_day * 7

or less

```
launch_blackout_hours
```
:
```
24
```
(prevent rebalancing in first 24h)
```
fee_locked
```
:
```
true
```
(always lock fees)
```
notes
```
: brief description of the strategy and policy rationale

Backend payload rules

For DTF launch payloads:

```
category: 0
```
(Manual) for agent-created vaults.

underlyingAssets

, send

symbol

name

(preferred). Backend resolves

mintAddress

from

asset-allocation

Hard restriction: never include USDC (

symbol: "USDC"

name: "USD Coin"

) in

underlyingAssets

If a candidate list contains USDC, remove it and replace it with another eligible non-USDC asset before sending
```
launch-dtf
```
.
Asset count: minimum 1, maximum 12 assets in
```
underlyingAssets
```
. The backend rejects payloads outside this range.

For

dtf-create

payloads:

Include ALL policy fields — do not omit any. The agent decides values autonomously.
Set
```
vaultType
```
:
```
"DTF"
```
for standard funds,
```
"YIELD_DTF"
```
for yield/LST funds.
Set
```
logoUrl
```
,
```
bannerUrl
```
to empty strings.
```
vaultName
```
and
```
vaultSymbol
```
must match what was used in
```
launch-dtf
```
.

Signing helper for API calls that return unsigned transactions

Both

launch-dtf

and

distribute-fees

return base64-encoded unsigned

VersionedTransaction

s. Use this pattern to sign and submit:

typescript

import { Keypair, VersionedTransaction, Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
const bs58 = require("bs58").default || require("bs58");

async function signAndSendTransaction(
  base64Tx: string,
  keypair: Keypair,
  connection: Connection
): Promise<string> {
  const txBytes = Buffer.from(base64Tx, "base64");
  const tx = VersionedTransaction.deserialize(txBytes);
  tx.sign([keypair]);
  const signature = await connection.sendRawTransaction(tx.serialize(), {
    skipPreflight: false,
    preflightCommitment: "confirmed",
  });
  await connection.confirmTransaction(signature, "confirmed");
  return signature;
}

// Usage:
const keypair = Keypair.fromSecretKey(bs58.decode(process.env.DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR!));
const connection = new Connection(process.env.SOLANA_RPC_URL || "https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com");
const sig = await signAndSendTransaction(response.onChain.transaction, keypair, connection);

CRITICAL ERROR HANDLING RULES for vault deployment:

NEVER call
launch-dtf
again after a transaction has been signed and submitted on-chain. The on-chain vault creation is irreversible and costs USDC. If
```
dtf-create
```
fails, only retry
```
dtf-create
```
with the SAME transaction signature, vault name, and symbol. Do NOT generate a new name/symbol or call
```
launch-dtf
```
again.
If
launch-dtf
fails (before any on-chain submission): you MAY retry
```
launch-dtf
```
with adjusted payload (fix the error).
If signing/submission fails: you MAY retry
```
launch-dtf
```
to get a new unsigned transaction (the previous one was never submitted, so no on-chain cost).
If
dtf-create
fails (after successful on-chain submission): ONLY retry
```
dtf-create
```
with the exact same
```
transactionSignature
```
,
```
vaultName
```
, and
```
vaultSymbol
```
. NEVER change these values. NEVER call
```
launch-dtf
```
again.
Keep the transaction signature: after a successful on-chain submission, store the signature and reuse it for all
```
dtf-create
```
retries. This is the link between the on-chain vault and the database record.

Step 4: Manage (Ongoing, autonomous)

After launch, the agent autonomously:

Monitors vault state via

GET {DFM_API_URL}/api/v2/agent/dtf/:symbol/state

Checks rebalancing readiness via

GET {DFM_API_URL}/api/v2/agent/dtf/:symbol/rebalance/check

Executes rebalances via
```
POST {DFM_API_URL}/api/v2/agent/dtf/:symbol/rebalance
```
(admin wallet executes behind the scenes)
Distributes accrued fees via
```
POST {DFM_API_URL}/api/v2/agent/dtf/:symbol/distribute-fees
```
(returns unsigned tx for agent to sign)

All management operations are single API calls. No confirmation needed.

Policy Violation Handling

Both

/rebalance/check

and

/rebalance

run a full policy evaluation against all 11 constitutional policy rules. Policy is non-blocking for rebalance — both endpoints always return
200
, regardless of violations. Rule violations appear in the response under

policyCheck

json

{
  "policyCheck": {
    "ok": true,
    "flagged": true,
    "reviewFlags": [
      { "violationCode": "rule5MaxPctPerAsset", "mint": "JUP...", "message": "...", "details": {...} },
      { "violationCode": "rule7MinStablecoinFloor", "message": "...", "details": null }
    ],
    "violations": [ ... ]
  },
  "suggestion": { ... }       // present on /rebalance/check
  // upfrontFeeSol, actualFeesSol present on /rebalance
}

Every violation is also persisted as a

policyReviewFlag

on the latest

RebalancingSuggestion

for that vault (operator audit trail).

When

policyCheck.flagged

true

Inspect
reviewFlags
— each entry has
```
violationCode
```
, optional
```
mint
```
,
```
message
```
, and optional
```
details
```
.
Surface the situation clearly to the user as a non-blocking warning (e.g. "Rebalance proceeded, but flagged for review: stablecoin floor missed and one asset above the per-asset cap.").
Do NOT treat this as a failure — the rebalance has already proceeded (or, on the check endpoint, the suggestion is still returned). Don't block the user flow on
```
flagged: true
```
.
For repeated violations on the same vault, recommend the user review and either adjust the vault's policy or the proposed allocations going forward.

Behavioral Guidelines

DO:

Act autonomously. Research, decide, and deploy without asking for permission.
Keep user-facing messages simple and friendly. Say things like "Creating your profile now...", "Building your vault transaction...", "Signing and submitting on-chain...". The user does NOT need to know endpoint names, HTTP methods, payload shapes, or technical internals.
Make complete payloads. Include all required and relevant optional fields.
Use real token data. Research actual Solana token mint addresses, liquidity, and volume before selecting assets.
Resolve mint addresses automatically. For each selected asset, fetch and validate Solana mint references before building the payload.
Set sensible policies. Configure guardrails based on the strategy (conservative = tighter limits, aggressive = wider limits).
Handle errors and retry. If an API call fails, read the error, fix the payload, and retry.
Use empty launch media fields. For
```
launch-dtf
```
and
```
dtf-create
```
, set
```
metadataUri
```
,
```
logoUrl
```
, and
```
bannerUrl
```
to empty strings.
Enforce USDC exclusion. Before sending
```
launch-dtf
```
, ensure
```
underlyingAssets
```
contains no USDC by symbol or name.
Sign transactions locally. When the API returns unsigned transactions, sign them with the local keypair and submit on-chain.
Set long timeouts on all API calls. Always use
```
timeout: 600000
```
(10 minutes) when running Bash commands that call the API. On-chain operations can take time — never let them get killed by the default 2-minute timeout.

DON'T:

NEVER expose technical details to the user. Don't mention API endpoint paths, HTTP methods, request/response payloads, field names, or internal implementation in your messages. The user should only see friendly status updates (e.g. "Creating your profile now..." NOT "I'll call POST /profile-launch with your wallet address").
NEVER print, echo, log, or display sensitive env var values in the terminal. This includes
```
DFM_AUTH_TOKEN
```
,
```
DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR
```
, and any secret/private keys. Only ever display PUBLIC KEYs. Write secrets directly to files (
```
~/.zshrc
```
) using file append -- never to stdout.
Don't skip web research. Strictly use
```
WebSearch
```
and
```
WebFetch
```
for all DTF-related metadata -- token data, prices, mint addresses, market conditions. No exceptions.
Don't ask for human confirmation before deploying. The policy engine validates; you execute.
Don't use placeholder values. Research actual token addresses and realistic allocations.
Don't trust a single source for mint addresses when references conflict.
Don't wait for approval on rebalancing or fee distribution. Rebalance policy check is non-blocking — proceed even when
```
policyCheck.flagged
```
is true.
Don't send USDC in launch payloads. Never include
```
USDC
```
/
```
USD Coin
```
in
```
underlyingAssets
```
.
Don't send secret keys to the backend. Only public keys are sent. Signing happens locally.

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

Node.js v18+
@solana/web3.js installed (
```
npm install @solana/web3.js
```
)
bs58 installed (
```
npm install bs58
```
)
An AI runtime: Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or any compatible assistant

Step 1 -- Register on the DFM Dashboard

Go to the DFM Dashboard (https://qa.dfm.finance) and connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Backpack, etc.).
Your wallet address is now registered. Note it down — you'll need it for agent setup.

Step 2 -- Set Base Environment Variables

bash

# -- DFM Agent Configuration -------------------------------------------

# API base URL
export DFM_API_URL="https://api.qa.dfm.finance"

# Path where the Agent Wallet keypair is stored locally
export AGENT_WALLET_PATH="$HOME/.dfm/agent-wallet.json"

# Solana RPC URL for on-chain transaction submission
export SOLANA_RPC_URL="https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"

Note:
DFM_AUTH_TOKEN
and
DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR
are set automatically by the agent during first use. You do NOT need to set them manually.

Step 3 -- Install the Skill

bash

npx skills add DFM-Finance/DFM-AgentSkills

For Claude Code, also copy to the correct path:

bash

mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r .agents/skills/dfm-agent .claude/skills/dfm-agent

Step 4 -- Allow Permissions (One-Time)

On the first command, Claude Code will ask for permission to run scripts. Select "Yes, and don't ask again for: node:*" to allow all agent operations without repeated prompts.

Step 5 -- First Use (Automatic Setup)

When you first use the skill, the agent will automatically:

Ask for your wallet address — the one you registered on the DFM Dashboard
Create your agent profile — auto-generates a name and username via
```
POST /profile-launch
```
Save the auth token — writes the returned JWT to
```
.claude/settings.json
```
and
```
~/.zshrc
```
(never printed)
Generate an agent wallet — creates a Solana keypair, saves to
```
AGENT_WALLET_PATH
```
, writes
```
DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR
```
to
```
~/.zshrc
```
Report the public key only — never displays secret keys or tokens

After this one-time setup, restart Claude Code and you're ready to go.

SECURITY: Secret keys and auth tokens are NEVER displayed in terminal output. They are written directly to files with restricted permissions.

Auth

All endpoints are at

{DFM_API_URL}/api/v2/agent/...

and require

Authorization: Bearer <DFM_AUTH_TOKEN>

Endpoints marked [Public] bypass JWT authentication — including

profile-launch

which is used to create the agent profile and obtain the token in the first place.

On-chain operations (

launch-dtf

distribute-fees

) return unsigned transactions that the agent signs locally with the keypair from

DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR

. Rebalancing is executed server-side by the admin wallet.

The auth token is obtained automatically during first use via

POST /profile-launch

— the user only needs to provide their DFM-registered wallet address.

Agent Wallet -- Keypair Generation

Wallet path resolution

```
AGENT_WALLET_PATH
```
env variable
```
SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH
```
env variable
```
WALLET_OUTPUT_PATH
```
env variable

Default:

<project-root>/solana-keypair/keypair.json

Implementation

typescript

import { Keypair } from "@solana/web3.js";
const bs58 = require("bs58").default || require("bs58");
import * as fs from "fs";
import * as path from "path";
import * as os from "os";

// 1. Resolve output path
const outPath = path.resolve(
  process.env.AGENT_WALLET_PATH ??
    process.env.SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH ??
    process.env.WALLET_OUTPUT_PATH ??
    path.join(os.homedir(), ".dfm", "agent-wallet.json")
);

// 2. Generate keypair and save to file
fs.mkdirSync(path.dirname(outPath), { recursive: true });
const keypair = Keypair.generate();
fs.writeFileSync(outPath, JSON.stringify(Array.from(keypair.secretKey)), { mode: 0o600 });

// 3. Write base58 secret key directly to shell profile (NEVER print to terminal)
const base58Secret = bs58.encode(keypair.secretKey);
const shellProfile = path.join(os.homedir(), ".zshrc");
fs.appendFileSync(shellProfile, `\nexport DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR="${base58Secret}"\n`);

// 4. Only output the PUBLIC KEY
const pubkey = keypair.publicKey.toBase58();
console.log(`PUBLIC_KEY=${pubkey}`);
console.log(`WALLET_PATH=${outPath}`);
// NEVER console.log the base58Secret — it was written to ~/.zshrc silently

CRITICAL: The

base58Secret

is written directly to

~/.zshrc

via

fs.appendFileSync

. It must NEVER be printed to stdout, logged, or displayed in any terminal output. Only the public key is shown to the user.

Deriving public key from env (for API calls)

typescript

import { Keypair } from "@solana/web3.js";
const bs58 = require("bs58").default || require("bs58");

const keypair = Keypair.fromSecretKey(bs58.decode(process.env.DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR!));
const signerPublicKey = keypair.publicKey.toBase58();
// Use signerPublicKey in API request bodies

On-chain operations

Vault creation and fee distribution return unsigned base64 transactions. The agent signs locally and submits on-chain.
Rebalancing is executed server-side by the admin wallet. The agent only provides its public key for identification.

Logo handling

For

launch-dtf

and

dtf-create

, always send

metadataUri: ""

logoUrl: ""

, and

bannerUrl: ""

Do not pass image URLs for these fields in launch payloads.

Using Agent Commands

What you say	What the agent does
`Set up my DFM agent`	Asks for wallet address, creates agent profile via `/profile-launch` , saves auth token, generates keypair
`Launch a Solana blue chip fund`	Researches top SOL tokens, picks name/symbol/allocations/policy, builds tx, signs, submits, creates policy
`Create a meme token DTF with 3% fee`	Finds trending meme tokens, builds diversified allocation, sets policy, deploys
`Show me the state of SOLBC`	`GET /dtf/SOLBC/state` -- returns APY, TVL, NAV, portfolio
`Rebalance SOLBC`	Checks policy, triggers server-side rebalance if approved
`Distribute fees for SOLBC`	`POST /dtf/SOLBC/distribute-fees` -- builds unsigned tx, signs locally, submits on-chain
`Generate a Solana keypair for my DFM Agent wallet`	Creates keypair, saves to file, writes env var, reports public key only

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
"Unauthorized" errors	Use the token refresh script in the Pre-flight section ( `node .claude/refresh-token.js <wallet>` ). Do NOT improvise — past improvised refreshes have written placeholder strings (e.g. `+token+` ) into `settings.json` . If you see `+token+` or other obviously-bogus values in `.claude/settings.json` , delete the `DFM_AUTH_TOKEN` entry and re-run the refresh script.
"Keypair file not found"	Re-generate wallet (Step 4). Check: `ls -la $AGENT_WALLET_PATH`
"No signer keypair" / empty DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR	`DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR` not set. Re-export (Step 5). Verify: `echo $DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR`
Transaction fails on-chain	Agent Wallet needs SOL for tx fees + USDC for vault creation fee. Fund the wallet first.
Policy `flagged: true` on rebalance	Rebalance is non-blocking — the operation already proceeded. Inspect `policyCheck.reviewFlags` to see which rules were violated and surface them to the user as a warning. Same flags are persisted on the latest `RebalancingSuggestion.policyReviewFlags` .
Token revoked unexpectedly	Tokens are only invalidated by an explicit `POST /token/revoke` call. Refresh issues a new token without touching existing ones — multiple active tokens per agent are supported.
409 Conflict on dtf-create	A policy already exists for this vault name/symbol. Use a unique name and symbol.
409 "Username is already taken" on profile-launch	The `profile-launch.js` script auto-retries up to 5 times with a random 4-char hex suffix appended to the sanitized base username. If you see this error surface to the user, the script ran out of retries — pick a more distinctive base username and re-run.
409 "An agent profile already exists for this wallet address" on profile-launch	The wallet has already been onboarded — do NOT call `profile-launch` again (and the script does not retry on this 409). Use `node .claude/refresh-token.js <WALLET_ADDRESS>` to issue a fresh JWT for the existing agent profile instead.

Security

NEVER display sensitive values in terminal output. This includes
```
DFM_AUTH_TOKEN
```
,
```
DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR
```
, and any secret/private keys. Only public keys may be printed. Secrets are written silently to files.
Agent Wallet file --
```
0o600
```
permissions, gitignored, never committed.
DFM_AGENT_KEYPAIR
-- base58 secret key in env only, never in code, git, or terminal output.
DFM_AUTH_TOKEN
-- JWT token in env only, never printed or logged in terminal.
No secret keys sent to backend -- only public keys are included in API payloads. Transaction signing happens locally.
Agent Wallet = on-chain authority -- treat it like any crypto wallet. Back up securely.
Policy engine = safety net -- even a fully autonomous agent can't bypass policy constraints.
