Manage Liquidity
Overview
This is the primary skill for all liquidity operations on Uniswap. It handles three distinct actions:
- Add liquidity — Find the best pool, recommend a range, handle approvals, deposit tokens
- Remove liquidity — Withdraw tokens from an existing position (partial or full)
- Collect fees — Claim accumulated trading fees from a position
Each action delegates to the liquidity-manager agent for execution, with optional pool-researcher delegation for intelligent pool selection. This skill extracts the user's intent, validates parameters, and orchestrates the right agent workflow.
When to Use
Activate when the user says anything related to providing, removing, or managing Uniswap liquidity:
Adding liquidity:
- "Add liquidity to ETH/USDC"
- "Provide LP for WETH/USDC on Base"
- "LP into the best pool for ETH/USDC"
- "Open a position in UNI/WETH"
- "I want to LP $5000 into ETH/USDC"
- "Deposit liquidity into the 0.05% pool"
- "Add $10K to my WETH/USDC position"
Removing liquidity:
- "Remove my liquidity"
- "Close my ETH/USDC position"
- "Withdraw 50% from position #12345"
- "Exit my LP position"
Collecting fees:
- "Collect my fees"
- "Claim accumulated fees from position #12345"
- "How much in fees have I earned?" (check first, then offer to collect)

Workflow
Add Liquidity Flow
Step 1: PARSE INTENT
├── Extract: tokens, amount, chain, version, range, fee tier
├── Normalize: "ETH" → "WETH", "$5K" → "$5000"
└── If any required params missing → ASK the user (don't guess)
Step 2: POOL SELECTION (if user didn't specify exact pool)
├── If "best pool" or no fee tier specified:
│ └── Delegate to pool-researcher: "Find the best pool for {token0}/{token1} on {chain}"
│ Pool researcher returns ranked pools with APY, TVL, depth
│ Pick the recommended pool (or present top 3 if user wants to choose)
└── If specific pool given: use directly
Step 3: PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS
├── Check safety status via check_safety_status
├── Verify wallet has sufficient token balances
└── If checks fail → STOP and tell user what's wrong
Step 4: DELEGATE TO LIQUIDITY-MANAGER
├── Pass: token0, token1, amount, chain, version, range, feeTier, pool address
├── The liquidity-manager agent handles:
│ a. Check and execute token approvals (Permit2)
│ b. Calculate optimal tick range based on range strategy
│ c. Simulate the add-liquidity transaction
│ d. Route through safety-guardian for validation
│ e. Execute the transaction
│ f. Wait for confirmation
└── Returns: positionId, amounts deposited, tick range, tx hash
Step 5: PRESENT RESULT
├── Position ID (NFT token ID)
├── Tokens deposited with USD values
├── Price range (lower price, upper price, current price)
├── Estimated fee APY (from pool-researcher data)
├── Explorer link to the transaction
└── Tip: "Monitor with /track-performance"
Remove Liquidity Flow
Step 1: IDENTIFY POSITION
├── If position ID given → use directly
├── If "my ETH/USDC position" → call get_positions_by_owner
│ ├── Filter by token pair and chain
│ ├── If multiple matches → LIST them and ask user to choose
│ └── If no matches → tell user "No positions found for {pair}"
└── Confirm: "I found position #{id} — {pair} {feeTier} with {value}. Remove?"
Step 2: DELEGATE TO LIQUIDITY-MANAGER
├── Pass: positionId, chain, percentage (default 100%), collectFees
├── Agent handles: fee collection → partial/full removal → safety validation → execution
└── Returns: tokens received, fees collected, tx hash
Step 3: PRESENT RESULT
├── Tokens received with USD values
├── Fees collected (if any)
├── Total value received
├── Explorer link
└── If partial removal: remaining position details
Collect Fees Flow
Step 1: IDENTIFY POSITION (same as remove)
Step 2: CHECK UNCOLLECTED FEES
├── Call get_position to see tokensOwed0 and tokensOwed1
├── If fees are zero → "No fees to collect on this position"
└── Show fee amounts and ask to proceed
Step 3: DELEGATE TO LIQUIDITY-MANAGER
├── Pass: positionId, chain, action: "collect"
└── Returns: fees collected, tx hash
Step 4: PRESENT RESULT
├── Fees collected (token amounts + USD values)
├── Explorer link
└── Tip: "Your position is still active and earning more fees"
Critical Decision Points
These are the moments where the skill must stop and ask rather than assume:
| Situation |
Action |
| Multiple positions match |
List all matches, ask user to pick one |
| Amount exceeds wallet balance |
Show balance, ask if they want a smaller amount |
| Pool TVL < $10,000 |
Warn about low liquidity risk, ask to confirm |
| Range strategy not specified |
Default to "medium" but mention the tradeoffs |
| First time LPing |
Briefly explain IL risk before proceeding |
| Remove > 50% of pool liquidity |
Warn about price impact on exit |

Liquidity Added Successfully
Position: #456789

- Collect fees anytime: "Collect fees from position #456789"
Successful Remove
Liquidity Removed
Position: #456789 (CLOSED)
Received:
0.52 WETH ($1,020)
950 USDC ($950)
Total: $1,970
Fees Collected:
0.01 WETH ($19.60)
15.20 USDC ($15.20)
Total fees: $34.80
Net Result: +$44.80 (+2.3%) including fees
Tx: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x...
Important Notes
- IL risk: Always mention impermanent loss risk when adding liquidity to volatile pairs. Don't bury it.
- Gas costs: On Ethereum mainnet, LP operations cost $15-50 in gas. Mention this for small positions.
- Range tradeoffs: Narrow = higher fees but more rebalancing. Wide = lower fees but less maintenance. Always explain.
- V2 vs V3: V2 is "set and forget" with lower returns. V3 requires active management but earns more. Help the user choose.
- Never auto-execute: For remove and rebalance, always confirm with the user before executing.
