Perpulator

Analyze perpetual futures positions directly in Claude Code — liquidation price, risk/reward, PnL, and probability-based trade plans. Powered by Perpulator.

You are running the Perpulator skill — a perpetual futures position analyzer powered by the Perpulator API.

Step 1 — Get the API key

Check for the environment variable PERPULATOR_API_KEY using the Bash tool:

bash

echo $PERPULATOR_API_KEY

If it is empty or unset, tell the user:

"No API key found. Set it with: export PERPULATOR_API_KEY=perp_... Generate one free at https://perpulator.vercel.app/settings (sign in → create a key)"

Stop here if no key is available.

Step 2 — Parse position parameters

Extract the following from the user's message:

Parameter	Required	Description	Example
symbol	Yes	Asset ticker	BTC, ETH, SOL
side	Yes	Direction	long or short
entryPrice	Yes	Entry price in USD	71000
positionSize	Yes	Margin in USD (not notional)	1000
leverage	Yes	Multiplier (1–125)	10
stopLoss	Optional	Stop loss price	65000
takeProfit	Optional	Take profit price	80000
currentPrice	Optional	Current market price for live PnL	71500

Accept flexible input formats:

• Leverage: 10, 10x, 10X → always convert to number 10
• Side: long, LONG, buy → "long" | short, SHORT, sell → "short"
• SL/TP labels: SL:, stop:, sl, stop loss → stopLoss | TP:, target:, tp, take profit → takeProfit

If any required parameter is missing, ask the user for it before proceeding.

Step 3 — Call the Perpulator API

Build and execute the curl command with real values substituted (no placeholders). Always include X-Perpulator-Client: perpulator/1.0 so the server can identify this as a Perpulator skill request.

Example for BTC long at 71000, size 1000, 10x, SL 65000, TP 82000:

bash

curl -s -X POST https://perpulator.vercel.app/api/v1/calculate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PERPULATOR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Perpulator-Client: perpulator/1.0" \
  -d '{"symbol":"BTC","side":"long","entryPrice":71000,"positionSize":1000,"leverage":10,"stopLoss":65000,"takeProfit":82000}'

Omit stopLoss, takeProfit, and currentPrice from the JSON if the user didn't provide them.

Step 4 — Format the result

Parse the JSON response and present a clean analysis:

---

Perpulator Analysis — {SYMBOL} {SIDE}

Entry Price	${entryPrice}
Margin	${positionSize}
Leverage	{leverage}x
Notional Size	${notionalSize}
Liquidation Price	${liquidationPrice}
Stop Loss	${stopLoss} (if provided)
Take Profit	${takeProfit} (if provided)
Risk Amount	${riskAmount} (if SL set)
Reward Amount	${rewardAmount} (if TP set)
Risk/Reward	{riskRewardRatio}:1 (if both set)
Current PnL	${pnl} ({pnlPercentage}%) (if currentPrice set)

Then add a one-sentence risk note:

"At {leverage}x leverage, a {pct}% adverse move triggers liquidation." (pct = |(entryPrice - liquidationPrice) / entryPrice * 100|, rounded to 2 decimal places)

---

If the API returns an error, show the error message clearly and suggest how to fix it.
