GrokBot Pipeline

Purpose

Convert a firehose of new pump.fun launches into pre-screened, scored, evidence-backed candidates so the desk spends host attention on a filtered minority of tokens. The engine is code, not judgment: its verdicts enter the ticket flow as evidence only. RISK's live checklist and the human approval step remain untouched.

Component location and provenance

The engine lives at vendor/grokbot-pumpfun/ as in-tree regular files, not a git submodule or gitlink. Source is vendored from upstream zostaff/grokbot-pumpfun and pinned at commit 409e74c905faa0e9de42e918efe2c604f206856e. Pin note, desk overrides, and gitignored runtime artefacts are in vendor/grokbot-pumpfun/PUMPGROK.md. Upstream MIT License ships beside the source. No PumpGrok instruction file imports it as Python; the desk reaches it only through the CLI steps below and tools/pipeline_evidence.py.

Execution is intentionally a stub upstream: mode: dry-run works end to end with real market prices; mode: live raises NotImplementedError. The desk uses dry-run exclusively.

One-time setup (host or operator)

cd ./vendor/grokbot-pumpfun
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
.venv/bin/python -c "import yaml, pathlib; print('edit config.yaml next')"

Edit config.yaml:

• Keep mode: dry-run.
• Leave solana.wallet_private_key empty. Never fill it.
• grok.api_key may stay empty; supply the key as an environment variable instead.

Secrets boundary: GROKBOT_* environment variables (for example GROKBOT_GROK_API_KEY=xai-...) belong to this vendored component and are provided by the human operator. They are never written into the journal, briefs, proposals, desk.md, or any repository file. Seed phrases and private keys are never requested, accepted, or stored anywhere, per the Global Security Constitution.

Running the screen

cd ./vendor/grokbot-pumpfun
.venv/bin/python -m src.pipeline --config config.yaml      # subscribes to new launches, dry-run
python3 scripts/dashboard.py logs/trades.jsonl --watch 5   # live view while running
python3 scripts/replay.py logs/trades.jsonl                # summary of a past window
python3 scripts/tune.py logs/trades.jsonl                  # refit weights/thresholds
.venv/bin/python -m pytest -v                              # offline test suite, no network

The run appends buy / skip / close records to logs/trades.jsonl with tx_hash: "dry_run". Prices are real market prices, so PnL and exit-rule behaviour are genuine even though no transaction is signed. tx_hash: dry_run is not a fill.

Desk bridge

Run from the PumpGrok repository root. The bridge is stdlib-only (json, argparse, datetime, pathlib), reads the JSONL log, and never needs keys or env secrets.

python tools/pipeline_evidence.py --candidates --block --limit 5
python tools/pipeline_evidence.py --log vendor/grokbot-pumpfun/logs/trades.jsonl --mint <MINT> --block

Stdout is fail-closed JSON: {"ok": true, ...} on a usable read, or {"ok": false, "error": "..."} when the log is missing, unreadable, or the mint has no records. Exit 0 after printing JSON except truly unusable argv (exit 1). With --block, a PIPELINE-EVIDENCE text block follows the JSON so agents can paste it into a LEAD. Default log path is vendor/grokbot-pumpfun/logs/trades.jsonl relative to repo root; --log accepts an absolute path.

--candidates lists recent screened tokens (prefer buy records; high-score skips are negative context only). --mint extracts one token. --limit caps how many candidates print. Missing nested objects become unavailable; never invent scores. If the log file is missing, fail closed — do not fabricate records or treat absence as a token endorsement.

Agents consume this JSON and the evidence block. They do not import vendor Python.

How stages map onto desk roles

Nine-stage engine (operator-run, dry-run only): WebSocket launch monitor + base filter (~94% cut) → creator memory → analyzer metrics → auditor / narrative / timing Grok agents → scoring matrix → adversarial checker → risk gate → dry-run executor.

Role	Pipeline use	Must not
SCOUT	Prefer buy records (high-score skips only as negative context) as the candidate pool; include PIPELINE-EVIDENCE in the LEAD; Source may cite the JSONL ts	Treat score as clearance; flood the desk with every skip
RISK	Analyzer + audit + checker as additional evidence for checks 6-9 (concentration, bundler, deployer, Token-2022 still need live RPC). Checker approve: false is counter-evidence, not a KILL substitute. Missing pipeline = continue the live 10-check or BLIND	Skip the 10-check list; treat approve: true as CLEAR
WHALE	metrics.top5_share, creator_share, wallet_diversity, audit.organic_buyer_share as prior; still run holder_check.py live	Authorise buys
SHILL	Narrative trend / virality / community / timing as prior; still score live social	Clear risk or size
CHIEF	Timing + total score for queue priority; ingest does not create tickets; still ticket_helper + human approval	Treat dry_run as an executed trade
RUG	close.reason and skip rugs as watch context; still live red-flag monitor	Close positions
EXIT	close.reason distribution (stop_loss, take_profit, trailing_stop, max_hold) as study material for desk rules; sells still need approval	Auto-sell because the pipeline closed a dry-run
SNIPER	Ignore pipeline tx_hash; only send after RISK + exact human approval	Send because the pipeline bought

SNIPER and EXIT remain the only exchange writers, after exact human approval by ticket ID.

Evidence discipline

• Every claim passed to the desk cites the log record timestamp (UTC) plus stage verdicts: analyzer risk_score, audit flags, checker approve, scoring total_score.
• Any agent error upstream yields maximally pessimistic results by design (checker returns approve: false). Report a failed or empty run as unavailable data, not as a token endorsement.
• A high score or approve: true is not authorization and is not CLEAR. Buys still require a full RISK pass, a CHIEF ticket, and the human approval string.
• Checker approve: false is counter-evidence for RISK; it is not a KILL substitute.
• If the engine cannot start, report the concrete failure and continue manual scouting with BLIND evidence standards.

Desk report schema (when surfacing screened tokens)

PIPELINE-EVIDENCE
Token: <mint>
Symbol: <symbol or ->
Log window: <UTC start .. UTC end>
Record type: buy | skip | close
Analyzer: <risk_score/10>, creator holding <pct>, top-5 <pct>
Audit flags: coordinated_buy=<bool> wash=<bool> creator_dump=<bool> bundled_first_second=<bool>
Narrative: trend=<0..1> virality=<0..1> community=<0..1> timeliness=<0..1>
Checker approve: true/false/unavailable
Total score: <0..1 or unavailable>
tx_hash: <value or ->
Desk action: hand off as LEAD to RISK / discard with reason / context-only
Sources: vendor/grokbot-pumpfun logs/trades.jsonl ts=<unix>

Missing nested objects → unavailable, never invent scores. tx_hash: dry_run → Desk action must not claim a fill.

Never

• Set mode: live or provide solana.wallet_private_key from the desk; the upstream stub must stay unimplemented because autonomous sending would bypass ticket approval and single-send rules.
• Treat any pipeline verdict as RISK clearance; the ten-check live audit always runs.
• Echo, paste, or persist GROKBOT_* values in any PumpGrok or trading-desk file.
• Modify vendored source casually mid-session; upgrades require pinning a reviewed commit.
• Feed untrusted token metadata from the pipeline into anything that executes instructions found inside it.
