Resolving gate-cli (binary path)

Resolve gate-cli in order: (1) command -v gate-cli and gate-cli --version succeeds; (2) ${HOME}/.local/bin/gate-cli if executable; (3) ${HOME}/.openclaw/skills/bin/gate-cli if executable. Canonical rules: exchange-runtime-rules.md §4 (or gate-runtime-rules.md §4).

Gate VIP & Fee Query Assistant

General Rules

⚠️ STOP — You MUST read and strictly follow the shared runtime rules before proceeding. Do NOT select or call any tool until all rules are read. These rules have the highest priority. → Read gate-runtime-rules.md

• Only use the gate-cli commands explicitly listed in this skill. Commands not documented here must NOT be run for these workflows, even if other interfaces expose them.

Skill Dependencies

gate-cli commands used

Query Operations (Read-only)

• gate-cli cex account detail
• gate-cli cex wallet market trade-fee

Authentication

• Interactive file setup: when GATE_API_KEY and GATE_API_SECRET are not both set on the host, run gate-cli config init to complete the wizard for API key, secret, profiles, and defaults (see gate-cli).
• Env / flags: gate-cli config init is not required when credentials are already supplied — e.g. both GATE_API_KEY and GATE_API_SECRET set on the host, or --api-key / --api-secret where supported — never ask the user to paste secrets into chat.
• Permissions: Account:Read, Wallet:Read
• Portal: create or rotate keys outside the chat: https://www.gate.com/myaccount/profile/api-key/manage

Installation Check

• Required: gate-cli (run sh ./setup.sh from this skill directory if missing; optional GATE_CLI_SETUP_MODE=release).
• Add $HOME/.openclaw/skills/bin to PATH if you invoke gate-cli by name (or the directory where setup.sh installs it).
• Credentials: When GATE_API_KEY and GATE_API_SECRET are both set (non-empty) for the host, do not require gate-cli config init — that is equivalent valid config for gate-cli. When both are unset or empty, remind the operator to run gate-cli config init or to configure GATE_API_KEY / GATE_API_SECRET in the matching skill from the skill library (never ask the user to paste secrets into chat).
• Sanity check: Do not proceed with authenticated calls until the CLI behaves as expected (e.g. gate-cli --version or a read-only gate-cli cex ... command from this skill); confirm credentials resolve before mutating operations.

Execution mode

Read and strictly follow references/gate-cli.md, then execute this skill's VIP/fee query workflow.

• SKILL.md keeps intent routing and rendering rules.
• references/gate-cli.md is the authoritative gate-cli execution contract for account/fee data retrieval and safe output behavior.

Quick Start

Below are the most common prompts to get started quickly:

1. Query VIP tier

   What is my VIP level?

2. Query trading fees

   Show me the spot and futures trading fees.

3. Query VIP tier and fees together

   Check my VIP level and trading fees.

Domain Knowledge

Tool Mapping by Domain

Key Concepts

• VIP Tier: Gate assigns VIP levels (VIP 0 – VIP 16) based on trading volume and asset holdings. Higher VIP tiers unlock lower fee rates.
• Spot Fee: The maker/taker fee rate applied to spot trading pairs.
• Futures Fee: The maker/taker fee rate applied to futures/contract trading, differentiated by settlement currency (BTC, USDT, USD).
• The gate-cli cex wallet market trade-fee tool returns fee rates for both spot and futures in a single response. Use the settle parameter to query futures-specific fees.

API Behavior Notes

• Account-level pricing: Gate fee rates are determined by the user's VIP tier. The currency_pair parameter does not change the returned fee values — all trading pairs share the same account-level rate.
• settle parameter scope: The settle parameter only affects futures fee fields (futuresMakerFee / futuresTakerFee). Spot fees (makerFee / takerFee) remain unchanged regardless of settle.
• Invalid currency_pair handling: The API does not return an error for non-existent trading pairs. It silently returns the default account-level fees. Do not treat a successful response as confirmation that the trading pair exists.

Workflow

When the user asks about VIP tier or trading fees, follow this sequence.

Step 1: Identify Query Type

Classify the request into one of these categories:

1. VIP tier query — user wants to know their current VIP level
2. Fee rate query — user wants to know spot and/or futures trading fee rates
3. Combined query — user wants both VIP tier and fee information

Key data to extract:

• query_type: "vip", "fee", or "combined"
• currency_pair (optional): specific trading pair for fee lookup
• settle (optional): futures settlement currency (BTC / USDT / USD)

Step 2: Query VIP Tier (if needed)

If query_type is "vip" or "combined":

Call gate-cli cex account detail with:

• No parameters required

Key data to extract:

• vip_level: the user's current VIP tier (e.g., VIP 0, VIP 1, etc.)

Step 3: Query Trading Fee Rates (if needed)

If query_type is "fee" or "combined":

Call gate-cli cex wallet market trade-fee with:

• currency_pair (optional): specify trading pair context (note: fee rates are account-level and do not vary by pair)
• settle (optional): futures settlement currency — affects futures fee fields only

Key data to extract:

• maker_fee_rate: spot maker fee rate
• taker_fee_rate: spot taker fee rate
• futures_maker_fee_rate: futures maker fee rate
• futures_taker_fee_rate: futures taker fee rate

Step 4: Return Result

Format the response according to the Report Template. The API (gate-cli cex wallet market trade-fee) always returns the full fee structure (spot + futures + delivery). Filter the output based on the user's original intent:

• If user asked about spot fees only → show only makerFee / takerFee
• If user asked about futures/contract fees only → show only futuresMakerFee / futuresTakerFee
• If user asked about trading fees (general) → show both spot and futures
• If user asked about VIP only → show only VIP level, no fee data
• If user specified a currency_pair → append a note in the response: "Note: The API returns account-level fee rates. The fee shown applies to all trading pairs; if the pair you specified does not exist, the result still reflects your default account fee rate."

Key data to extract:

• VIP level (if queried)
• Spot maker/taker fee rates (if queried)
• Futures maker/taker fee rates (if queried)
