Monitoring (revx monitor)

Live price and technical indicator alerts. Runs as a continuous polling process.

Auth required. Make sure revx is installed and configured before running these commands. If any command fails with an auth-related error — Auth not configured, No private key found, Authentication failed (401), Invalid signature, insecure permissions, or a missing key/config file at ~/.config/revolut-x/ — invoke the revx-auth skill immediately and apply the fix yourself. Do not interrupt the user to ask them to run setup. Only escalate to the user for steps only they can perform (pasting the API key, registering the public key in their Revolut X profile, choosing a passphrase). After the fix, retry the original command.

Symbols use BASE-QUOTE format with a dash: BTC-USD, ETH-EUR, SOL-USD.

If Telegram connectors are configured (see revx-telegram skill), alerts are sent as notifications.

Behavioral Instructions for Claude

Long-Running Commands

All revx monitor <type> commands run indefinitely (polling loops with live dashboard output).

How to handle:

1. Run the command using the Bash tool with run_in_background: true — this frees Claude immediately while the process runs asynchronously
2. Periodically read the background task output file with the Read tool to monitor status and report key events to the user (alerts triggered, errors)
3. If the user asks to stop, use the TaskStop tool with the task ID
4. Also print the command to the user so they can optionally run it in a separate terminal for the full live dashboard experience (with colors, real-time tables, Ctrl+C to stop)

Example — starting a monitor:

Bash tool call:

{ "command": "revx monitor price BTC-USD --direction above --threshold 100000", "run_in_background": true }

Response to user:

Started monitoring BTC-USD price in the background. I'll check for alerts periodically.

If you'd like to see the live dashboard, run this in a separate terminal:

revx monitor price BTC-USD --direction above --threshold 100000

Press Ctrl+C to stop. Alerts will also be sent to Telegram if configured.
