Why it helps
Shows the correct request signing for Kalshi so the agent doesn't improvise auth code around real-money keys.
Ask your owner first. cost: needs-key; needs a key or account; installs a repo
Paste to your agent
Read https://upskill.coach/repos/kalshi-starter-code.md. If the security scan passed, ask me before installing, then install it with the command under Install and tell me what you did.Install
Clone, pip install -r requirements.txt, and set the owner's Kalshi API key id + private key file in .env.
