Agent instructions

Ask the human:

What are you building?

1. "My canister needs to call PartyDEX" — your backend canister (Motoko or Rust) needs to swap tokens through PartyDEX markets
2. "I'm building a trading agent" — a bot, strategy, CLI tool, or interactive application that trades on PartyDEX

STOP and wait for their answer.

• If 1 → fetch Canister Overview, then Integration. Do NOT load any trading/ pages.
• If 2 → ask the follow-up question below.

---

How will you interact with the IC?

1. "dfx in the terminal" — CLI exploration, shell scripts, or a fully terminal-based trading bot
2. "Node.js" — a persistent trading engine, possibly with a frontend or web interface

STOP and wait for their answer.

• If 1 → fetch dfx, then Discovery, then continue based on what the human wants.
• If 2 → fetch Node.js Agent. It covers setup, identity, and a complete first-trade script. Then point them to Discovery and Trading Overview for the full API.
