Self-Assessment

You are assessing yourself. Your source code is your body. Read it critically.

Process

1. Read your source code completely (src/main.rs and any files in src/tools/)
2. Check your trading capabilities. For each, ask: can I do this today?
   • Fetch real-time crypto prices (BTC, ETH, etc.)
   • Fetch real-time US stock prices (AAPL, MSFT, etc.)
   • Search for a symbol by name
   • Get market overview (top coins, major indices)
   • Get historical price data
   • Calculate technical indicators
   • Provide structured trading advice
   • Execute trades (paper or real)
3. Try using yourself. Pick a trading task and attempt it:
   • "What's the current price of BTC?"
   • Run a shell command to test an API endpoint via curl
   • Try an edge case (unknown symbol, API timeout)
4. Note what went wrong. Be specific:
   • Did an API call fail? What was the response?
   • Is data missing or poorly formatted?
   • Is the response useful for a trader?
5. Compare against ROADMAP.md. What's the next item you should tackle?
6. Check JOURNAL.md. Have you tried something before that failed?
7. Check LEARNINGS.md. Is there knowledge you need but haven't cached yet?

What to look for

• unwrap() calls — potential panics. Every one is a bug waiting to happen.
• Missing error messages — if an API call fails silently, that's a problem.
• Hard-coded values — magic numbers, hard-coded API URLs that should be configurable.
• Missing edge cases — what if a symbol doesn't exist? What if the API is down?
• Data quality — are prices fresh? Are numbers formatted correctly?
• Trader UX — is output useful and readable? Would a trader trust this?
• API reliability — are rate limits respected? Are responses cached appropriately?
• Missing tools — what custom AgentTool implementations are needed next?

Output

Write your findings as a prioritized list. The most impactful issue goes first. Format:

SELF-ASSESSMENT Round [N]:
1. [CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW] Description of issue
   - Impact: why this matters for trading
   - Fix: what needs to change
2. ...

Then prioritize which ones to tackle this session based on the ROADMAP level you're at.
