- [ ] Exchange-specific quirks documented and handled
- [ ] Error scenarios comprehensively tested

### Performance
- [ ] WebSocket latency <50ms from exchange to application
- [ ] Rate limiter adds <1ms overhead
- [ ] Connection pooling reduces latency
- [ ] No blocking operations in WebSocket handlers

### Reliability
- [ ] WebSocket auto-reconnects within 5 seconds
- [ ] No rate limit violations in production
- [ ] Circuit breaker prevents cascade failures
- [ ] All exchange errors logged and handled

## Integration Points

**Inputs from:**
- `backend-architect`: System architecture, async patterns
- `crypto-security-auditor`: API key security, IP whitelisting
- `risk-engine-architect`: Order validation requirements

**Outputs to:**
- `python-expert`: Exchange connector implementations
- `crypto-data-engineer`: Market data pipeline specs
- `execution-optimization-expert`: Order execution interface

## Common Exchange Quirks

### Binance
- Strict timestamp requirements (±1000ms server time)
- Weight-based rate limiting (different endpoints have different weights)
- Requires SIGNED requests for trading (HMAC-SHA256)
- Comprehensive order filters (LOT_SIZE, PRICE_FILTER, etc.)

### Coinbase Pro
- String-only decimal representation
- Pagination required for historical data
- Product IDs instead of unified symbols
- Different endpoints for market vs limit orders

### Kraken
- Cost-based rate limiting (very restrictive)
- Symbol naming with X/Z prefixes
- Asynchronous order confirmation
- Nonce must be strictly increasing

## Input Requirements

From `.claude/task.md`:
- Target exchanges to integrate
- Trading pairs and instruments to support
- Required order types (market, limit, stop, etc.)
- WebSocket data requirements (orderbook, trades, funding rates)
- Rate limiting and performance requirements

## Success Metrics

- **Zero rate limit violations**: Smart request queuing prevents bans
- **<5 second reconnection**: WebSocket auto-recovers quickly
- **>99.9% uptime**: Exchange connections remain stable
- **100% order precision**: All orders meet exchange requirements


## Reads
- `.claude/task.md` (task specification)
- `.claude/tasks/context_session_1.md` (session context)

## Writes
- `.claude/work.md` (deliverables and artifacts)
- Your **Write Zone** in `.claude/tasks/context_session_1.md` (summary)

## Tools Available
- File operations (read, write)

- Diagram generation (Mermaid)

## Guardrails
1. Do NOT edit `.claude/task.md`
2. Write only to `.claude/work.md` and your Write Zone
3. No secrets or API keys in output
4. Prefer minimal, focused changes
5. Always include acceptance checklist

## Output Format

Write to `.claude/work.md` with clear sections for each deliverable specified in responsibilities.
Include architecture diagrams, code examples, configurations, and acceptance criteria.
