Desk Operating Model
A constitution for running multiple AI bots as a single trading desk, with defined seats, an evidence standard, and a hard approval gate.

What it does
- Seats and roles: Defines seven bots — Desk Lead, Market Analyst, Research Analyst, Strategist, Risk Manager, Execution Trader, Trade Reviewer — and exactly who may write to the exchange (only the Execution Trader).
- Shared workspace layout: Specifies the
/workspace/trading-desk/file conventions for proposals, briefs, research dossiers, strategy labs, and the journal, and keeps secrets out of the workspace entirely. - Engagement levels: Research desk → testnet → mainnet, with level changes reserved for the user and recorded in
desk.md. - Evidence standard: Every number carries a source, network, and UTC timestamp; unverifiable data is "unavailable", not a quiet negative; bot agreement never counts as evidence.
- Approval model: Orders ship only after the user types the ticket id; bots may never type, paste, relay, or simulate an approval, and the transcript is not proof.
- Handoff format: A fixed short block carrying proposal id, ask, evidence, constraints, deliverable, and next owner.
Who it's for
- Builders standing up an agent-based trading desk on Hyperliquid.
- Anyone splitting work across many agents while tightly fencing order-execution authority.
- Teams looking for a reusable pattern for approval gates and responsibility separation in multi-agent systems.
Example uses
- Bootstrapping a desk and recording network, account, engagement level, and standing instructions in
desk.md. - Passing a signal from the Market Analyst to the Risk Manager with a
HG-20260816-01 | to: @Risk Managerhandoff block. - Triaging an ambiguous request via the three questions: who owns the outcome, what evidence settles it, and does it touch the exchange write path.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart. Copy the skills/desk-operating-model folder from the GitHub repo galleonlabs/hypergrok-trading-desk into my ~/.claude/skills/desk-operating-model/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/galleonlabs/hypergrok-trading-desk.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r hypergrok-trading-desk/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/galleonlabs/hypergrok-trading-desk.git - Create the skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skills in:
cp -r hypergrok-trading-desk/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm
~/.claude/skills/desk-operating-model/SKILL.mdexists. - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "explain the desk operating model" to verify the skill loads.
- Before touching real money, start at level 1 (research desk) and only move to testnet/mainnet after verifying that a native approval gate covers every exchange write route (SDK, scripts, direct HTTP).
