Liquidity Position Planning

Plan and generate deep links for creating liquidity positions on Uniswap v2, v3, and v4.

Runtime Compatibility: This skill uses AskUserQuestion for interactive prompts. If AskUserQuestion is not available in your runtime, collect the same parameters through natural language conversation instead.

Overview

Plan liquidity positions by:

1. Gathering LP intent (token pair, amount, version)
2. Checking current pool price and liquidity
3. Suggesting price ranges based on current price
4. Generating a deep link that opens in the Uniswap interface with parameters pre-filled

The generated link opens Uniswap with all parameters ready for position creation.

Note: Browser opening (xdg-open/open) may fail in SSH, containerized, or headless environments. Always display the URL prominently so users can copy and access it manually if needed.

File Access: This skill has read-only filesystem access. Never read files outside the current project directory unless explicitly requested by the user.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather LP Intent

Extract from the user's request:

If any required parameter is missing, use AskUserQuestion with structured options:

For missing chain:

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "Which chain do you want to provide liquidity on?",
      "header": "Chain",
      "options": [
        { "label": "Base (Recommended)", "description": "Low gas, growing DeFi ecosystem" },
        { "label": "Ethereum", "description": "Deepest liquidity, higher gas" },
        { "label": "Arbitrum", "description": "Low fees, high volume" },
        { "label": "Optimism", "description": "Low fees, Ethereum L2" }
      ],
      "multiSelect": false
    }
  ]
}

For missing token pair:

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "Which token pair do you want to provide liquidity for?",
      "header": "Pair",
      "options": [
        { "label": "ETH / USDC", "description": "Most popular pair, high volume" },
        { "label": "ETH / USDT", "description": "High volume stablecoin pair" },
        { "label": "WBTC / ETH", "description": "Blue chip crypto pair" },
        { "label": "Custom pair", "description": "Specify your own tokens" }
      ],
      "multiSelect": false
    }
  ]
}

Always use forms instead of plain text questions for better UX.

Step 2: Resolve Token Addresses

Resolve token symbols to addresses. See ../../references/chains.md for common tokens by chain.

For unknown tokens, use web search and verify on-chain.

UNTRUSTED INPUT: Web-Discovered Tokens

Tokens discovered via WebSearch are UNTRUSTED. Before proceeding with any web-discovered token:

1. Label the source: Explicitly tell the user "This token address was found via web search, not provided by you"
2. Warn about risks: "Web-discovered tokens may be scams, honeypots, or rug pulls"
3. Require confirmation: Use AskUserQuestion to get explicit user consent before generating a deep link for a web-discovered token
4. Show provenance: In the position summary table, include a "Token Source" row showing whether each token was "User-provided" or "Web-discovered (unverified)"

Never proceed with a web-discovered token without explicit user confirmation via AskUserQuestion.

Input Validation (Required Before Any Shell Command)

Before interpolating user-provided values into any shell command, validate all inputs:

• Token addresses MUST match: ^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$
• Chain/network names MUST be from the allowed list in ../../references/chains.md
• Amounts MUST be valid decimal numbers (match: ^[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*$)
• Reject any input containing shell metacharacters (;, |, $, ` `, &, (, ), >, <, \, ', "`, newlines)

Step 3: Discover Available Pools

Before fetching metrics, verify the pool exists and discover available fee tiers.

Find pools for a token using DexScreener:

# Get all Uniswap pools for a token (replace {network} and {address})
# IMPORTANT: Validate address matches ^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$ and network is from allowed list
curl -s "https://api.dexscreener.com/token-pairs/v1/{network}/{address}" | \
  jq '[.[] | select(.dexId == "uniswap")] | map({
    pairAddress,
    pair: "\(.baseToken.symbol)/\(.quoteToken.symbol)",
    version: .labels[0],
    liquidity: .liquidity.usd,
    volume24h: .volume.h24
  })'

Network IDs: ethereum, base, arbitrum, optimism, polygon, unichain

From the results, identify:

• Available pools and their addresses (multiple = different fee tiers)
• Pool TVL (liquidity.usd) to assess liquidity depth
• Version (v3 or v4) from labels[0]

If no Uniswap pools found: The pair may not have an existing pool. Inform the user they would be creating a new pool and setting the initial price.

Step 4: Assess Pool Liquidity

Evaluate if the pool has sufficient liquidity:

For thin liquidity pools, present a warning:

⚠️ **Low Liquidity Warning**
 
This pool has only ${tvl} TVL. Consider:
 
-Your position will be a significant % of the pool
-Entry/exit may move the price against you
-Impermanent loss risk is amplified in thin pools
-You may want to use a wider price range for safety

Step 5: Fetch Pool Metrics

Before suggesting ranges, fetch pool data for informed decisions. See references/data-providers.md for full API details.

Get pool APY and volume with DefiLlama:

# Find Uniswap V3 pools for a token pair
curl -s "https://yields.llama.fi/pools" | jq '[.data[] | select(.project == "uniswap-v3" and .chain == "Ethereum" and (.symbol | test("WETH.*USDC|USDC.*WETH")))]'

Response fields to use:

Get current prices with DexScreener:

# Get token prices from the pool data (already fetched in Step 3)
curl -s "https://api.dexscreener.com/token-pairs/v1/{network}/{address}" | \
  jq '[.[] | select(.dexId == "uniswap")][0] | {
    baseTokenPrice: .baseToken.priceUsd,
    quoteTokenPrice: .quoteToken.priceUsd
  }'

Compare fee tiers (if APY data available):

# Find all fee tier variants and compare APY
curl -s "https://yields.llama.fi/pools" | jq '[.data[] | select(.project == "uniswap-v3" and (.symbol | test("WETH.*USDC")))] | map({symbol, tvlUsd, apy, volumeUsd1d})'

If APIs are unavailable, fall back to web search for price estimates.

Step 6: Suggest Price Ranges

Based on current price and pair type, present range options using AskUserQuestion.

For major pairs (ETH/USDC, ETH/WBTC):

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "What price range do you want for your position? (Current: ~3,200 USDC/ETH)",
      "header": "Range",
      "options": [
        {
          "label": "±10% (Recommended)",
          "description": "2,880 - 3,520 USDC. Higher fees, monitor weekly"
        },
        { "label": "±20%", "description": "2,560 - 3,840 USDC. Balanced risk/reward" },
        { "label": "±50%", "description": "1,600 - 4,800 USDC. Rarely out of range" },
        { "label": "Full Range", "description": "Never out of range, lower fee efficiency" }
      ],
      "multiSelect": false
    }
  ]
}

For stablecoin pairs (USDC/USDT, DAI/USDC):

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "What price range for your stablecoin position?",
      "header": "Range",
      "options": [
        { "label": "±0.5% (Recommended)", "description": "0.995 - 1.005. Tight range, high fees" },
        { "label": "±1%", "description": "0.99 - 1.01. Standard for stables" },
        { "label": "±2%", "description": "0.98 - 1.02. Safer, lower fees" },
        { "label": "Full Range", "description": "Maximum safety, lowest fees" }
      ],
      "multiSelect": false
    }
  ]
}

Recommendation logic:

• Stablecoin pairs (USDC/USDT): Default to ±0.5-1%
• Correlated pairs (ETH/stETH): Default to ±2-5%
• Major pairs (ETH/USDC): Default to ±10-20%
• Volatile pairs: Default to ±30-50% or full range

Step 7: Determine Fee Tier

If multiple fee tiers exist for the pair, let the user choose using pool data from Step 3.

Present fee tier options with APY data:

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "Which fee tier? (Based on current pool data)",
      "header": "Fee Tier",
      "options": [
        { "label": "0.30% (Recommended)", "description": "TVL: $15M, APY: 12.5%, highest volume" },
        { "label": "0.05%", "description": "TVL: $8M, APY: 8.2%, lower fees per trade" },
        { "label": "1.00%", "description": "TVL: $2M, APY: 18.1%, less competition" }
      ],
      "multiSelect": false
    }
  ]
}

Fee tier guidelines:

v4 Fee Tiers: Dynamic fees possible with hooks. Default to similar V3 tiers.

If pool data shows one tier with significantly higher APY or volume, recommend that tier.

Step 8: Generate Deep Link

Construct the Uniswap position creation URL:

Base URL: https://app.uniswap.org/positions/create

URL Parameters:

IMPORTANT: URL Encoding

Only encode the double quotes (" → %22) in JSON values. Do NOT encode braces {} or colons :.

priceRangeState JSON structure:

For full range:

{
  "priceInverted": false,
  "fullRange": true,
  "minPrice": "",
  "maxPrice": "",
  "initialPrice": "",
  "inputMode": "price"
}

For custom range:

{
  "priceInverted": false,
  "fullRange": false,
  "minPrice": "2800",
  "maxPrice": "3600",
  "initialPrice": "",
  "inputMode": "price"
}

depositState JSON structure:

{ "exactField": "TOKEN0", "exactAmounts": { "TOKEN0": "1.0" } }

Note: Use TOKEN0 for currencyA, TOKEN1 for currencyB.

fee JSON structure:

{ "feeAmount": 3000, "tickSpacing": 60, "isDynamic": false }

Tick spacing by fee:

Step 9: Present Output and Open Browser

Format the response with:

1. Summary of the position parameters
2. Price range visualization (if not full range)
3. Considerations about IL and management
4. Open the browser automatically using system command

Example output format:

## Liquidity Position Summary
 
| Parameter | Value                   |
| --------- | ----------------------- |
| Pair      | ETH / USDC              |
| Chain     | Base                    |
| Version   | V3                      |
| Fee Tier  | 0.30%                   |
| Deposit   | 1 ETH + equivalent USDC |
 
### Pool Analytics
 
| Metric      | Value  |
| ----------- | ------ |
| Current APY | 12.5%  |
| 24h Volume  | $2.1M  |
| 7d Volume   | $14.8M |
| Pool TVL    | $15.2M |
 
### Price Range
 
| Metric        | Value               |
| ------------- | ------------------- |
| Current Price | ~3,200 USDC per ETH |
| Min Price     | 2,800 USDC per ETH  |
| Max Price     | 3,600 USDC per ETH  |
| Range Width   | ±12.5%              |
 
### Considerations
 
-**Impermanent Loss**: If ETH moves outside your range, you'll hold 100% of one asset
-**Rebalancing**: Monitor position and adjust range if price moves significantly
-**Fee Earnings**: Tighter ranges earn more fees but require more active management
-**Gas Costs**: Creating and managing positions costs gas
-**APY Note**: Shown APY is historical and may vary with market conditions
 
Opening Uniswap in your browser...

After displaying the summary, open the URL in the browser:

# Linux - note: only quotes are encoded (%22), not braces or colons
xdg-open "https://app.uniswap.org/positions/create?currencyA=NATIVE&currencyB=0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913&chain=base&fee={%22feeAmount%22:3000,%22tickSpacing%22:60,%22isDynamic%22:false}&priceRangeState={%22priceInverted%22:false,%22fullRange%22:false,%22minPrice%22:%222800%22,%22maxPrice%22:%223600%22,%22initialPrice%22:%22%22,%22inputMode%22:%22price%22}&depositState={%22exactField%22:%22TOKEN0%22,%22exactAmounts%22:{%22TOKEN0%22:%221%22}}&step=1"
 
# macOS
open "https://app.uniswap.org/positions/create?..."

Environment limitations: Browser opening may fail in remote SSH, containerized, or headless environments. If xdg-open/open fails, display the full URL prominently so users can copy and paste it manually:

**[Click here to open in Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/positions/create?...)**
 
Or copy this URL: `https://app.uniswap.org/positions/create?...`

Always present the summary and URL so users can review and create the position.

Version Selection

For detailed version comparison (v2/v3/v4 differences, fee tiers, tick spacing), see references/position-types.md.

Quick Guide:

• V2: Full range only, simplest, lowest gas
• V3: Concentrated liquidity, most common choice
• V4: Advanced features with hooks, limited availability

Important Considerations

Impermanent Loss (IL)

Warn users about IL risk:

• IL occurs when token prices diverge from entry price
• Tighter ranges amplify IL but also fee earnings
• Full range minimizes IL but reduces fee efficiency

Position Management

Concentrated liquidity requires active management:

• Monitor if price stays in range
• Rebalance when price approaches range boundaries
• Consider gas costs for position adjustments

Capital Requirements

For V3 positions with custom range:

• Depositing single-sided is possible if current price is outside range
• Within range: both tokens required in ratio determined by price and range

Supported Chains

All Uniswap-supported chains - see references/position-types.md for version availability by chain.

Additional Resources

Reference Files

• `../../references/chains.md` - Chain configuration and token addresses (shared with swap-planner)
• `references/position-types.md` - v2/v3/v4 differences, fee tiers, tick spacing
• `references/data-providers.md` - DexScreener and DefiLlama APIs for pool discovery and yields

URL Encoding

JSON parameters in deep links should have only double quotes encoded (" → %22). Do NOT encode braces {}, colons :, or commas ,.

?priceRangeState={%22fullRange%22:true}

Decodes to:

{ "fullRange": true }

Why? The Uniswap interface expects JSON-like parameter structure. Full URL encoding of braces and colons breaks parsing. Only quotes need encoding to avoid URL syntax conflicts.
