+# Piker Git Commit Message Generator
+
+Generate a commit message from the staged diff above
+following the piker project's conventions (learned from
+analyzing 500 repo commits).
+
+If `$ARGUMENTS` is provided, use it as scope or
+description context for the commit message.
+
+For the full style guide with verb frequencies,
+section markers, abbreviations, piker-specific terms,
+and examples, see
+[style-guide-reference.md](./style-guide-reference.md).
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+- **Subject**: ~50 chars, present tense verb, use
+  backticks for code refs
+- **Body**: only for complex/multi-file changes,
+  67 char line max
+- **Section markers**: Also, / Deats, / Other,
+- **Bullets**: use `-` style
+- **Tone**: technical but casual (piker style)
+

+
+```
+(this patch was generated in some part by [`claude-code`][claude-code-gh])
+[claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
+```
+

+```
+
+## Output Instructions
+
+When generating a commit message:
+
+1. Analyze the staged diff (injected above via
+   dynamic context) to understand all changes.
+2. If `$ARGUMENTS` provides a scope (e.g.,
+   `.ib.feed`) or description, incorporate it into
+   the subject line.
+3. Write the subject line following verb + backtick
+   conventions from the
+   [style guide](./style-guide-reference.md).
+4. Add body only for multi-file or complex changes.
+5. Write the message to a file in the repo's
+   `.claude/` subdir with filename format:
+   `<timestamp>_<first-7-chars-of-last-commit-hash>_commit_msg.md`
+   where `<timestamp>` is from `date --iso-8601=seconds`.
+   Also write a copy to
+   `.claude/git_commit_msg_LATEST.md`
+   (overwrite if exists).

+# Piker Git Commit Message Style Guide
+
+Learned from analyzing 500 commits from the piker repository.
+
+## Subject Line Rules
+
+### Length
+- Target: ~50 characters (avg: 50.5 chars)
+- Maximum: 67 chars (hard limit, though historical max: 146)
+- Keep concise and descriptive
+
+### Structure
+- Use present tense verbs (Add, Drop, Fix, Move, etc.)
+- 65.6% of commits use backticks for code references
+- 33.0% use colon notation (`module.file:` prefix or `: ` separator)
+
+### Opening Verbs (by frequency)
+Primary verbs to use:
+- **Add** (8.4%) - New features, files, functionality
+- **Drop** (3.2%) - Remove features, dependencies, code
+- **Fix** (2.2%) - Bug fixes, corrections
+- **Use** (2.2%) - Switch to different approach/tool
+- **Port** (2.0%) - Migrate code, adapt from elsewhere
+- **Move** (2.0%) - Relocate code, refactor structure
+- **Always** (1.8%) - Enforce consistent behavior
+- **Factor** (1.6%) - Refactoring, code organization
+- **Bump** (1.6%) - Version/dependency updates
+- **Update** (1.4%) - Modify existing functionality
+- **Adjust** (1.0%) - Fine-tune, tweak behavior
+- **Change** (1.0%) - Modify behavior or structure
+
+Casual/informal verbs (used occasionally):
+- **Woops,** (1.4%) - Fixing mistakes
+- **Lul,** (0.6%) - Humorous corrections
+
+### Code References
+Use backticks heavily for:
+- **Module/package names**: `tractor`, `pikerd`, `polars`, `ruff`
+- **Data types**: `dict`, `float`, `str`, `None`
+- **Classes**: `MktPair`, `Asset`, `Position`, `Account`, `Flume`
+- **Functions**: `dedupe()`, `push()`, `get_client()`, `norm_trade()`
+- **File paths**: `.tsp`, `.fqme`, `brokers.toml`, `conf.toml`
+- **CLI flags**: `--pdb`
+- **Error types**: `NoData`
+- **Tools**: `uv`, `uv sync`, `httpx`, `numpy`
+
+### Colon Usage Patterns
+1. **Module prefix**: `.ib.feed: trim bars frame to start_dt`
+2. **Separator**: `Add support: new feature description`
+
+### Tone
+- Technical but casual (use XD, lol, .., Woops, Lul when appropriate)
+- Direct and concise
+- Question marks rare (1.4%)
+- Exclamation marks rare (1.4%)
+
+## Body Structure
+
+### Body Frequency
+- 56.0% of commits have empty bodies (one-line commits are common)
+- Use body for complex changes requiring explanation
+
+### Bullet Lists
+- Prefer `-` bullets (16.2% of commits)
+- Rarely use `*` bullets (1.6%)
+- Indent continuation lines appropriately
+
+### Section Markers (in order of frequency)
+Use these to organize complex commit bodies:
+
+1. **Also,** (most common, 26 occurrences)
+   - Additional changes, side effects, related updates
+   - Example:
+     ```
+     Main change described in subject.
+
+     Also,
+     - related change 1
+     - related change 2
+     ```
+
+2. **Deats,** (8 occurrences)
+   - Implementation details
+   - Technical specifics
+
+3. **Further,** (4 occurrences)
+   - Additional context or future considerations
+
+4. **Other,** (3 occurrences)
+   - Miscellaneous related changes
+
+5. **Notes,** **TODO,** (rare, 1 each)
+   - Special annotations when needed
+
+### Line Length
+- Body lines: 67 character maximum
+- Break longer lines appropriately
+
+## Language Patterns
+
+### Common Abbreviations (by frequency)
+Use these freely in commit bodies:
+- **msg** (29) - message
+- **mod** (15) - module
+- **vs** (14) - versus
+- **impl** (12) - implementation
+- **deps** (11) - dependencies
+- **var** (6) - variable
+- **ctx** (6) - context
+- **bc** (5) - because
+- **obvi** (4) - obviously
+- **ep** (4) - endpoint
+- **tn** (4) - task name
+- **rn** (3) - right now
+- **sig** (3) - signal/signature
+- **env** (3) - environment
+- **tho** (3) - though
+- **fn** (2) - function
+- **iface** (2) - interface
+- **prolly** (2) - probably
+
+Less common but acceptable:
+- **dne**, **osenv**, **gonna**, **wtf**
+
+### Tone Indicators
+- **..** (77 occurrences) - Ellipsis for trailing thoughts
+- **XD** (17) - Expression of humor/irony
+- **lol** (1) - Rare, use sparingly
+
+### Informal Patterns
+- Casual contractions okay: Don't, won't
+- Lowercase starts acceptable for file prefixes
+- Direct, conversational tone
+
+## Special Patterns
+
+### Module/File Prefixes
+Common in piker commits (33.0% use colons):
+- `.ib.feed: description`
+- `.ui._remote_ctl: description`
+- `.data.tsp: description`
+- `.accounting: description`
+
+### Merge Commits
+- 4.4% of commits (standard git merges)
+- Not a primary pattern to emulate
+
+### External References
+- GitHub links occasionally used (13 total)
+- File:line references not used (0 occurrences)
+- No WIP commits in analyzed set
+
+### Claude-code Footer

+  Piker's `Profiler` API for measuring performance
+  across distributed actor systems. Apply when
+  adding profiling, debugging perf regressions, or
+  optimizing hot paths in piker code.
+user-invocable: false
+---
+
+# Piker Profiling Subsystem
+
+Skill for using `piker.toolz.profile.Profiler` to
+measure performance across distributed actor systems.
+
+## Core Profiler API
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from piker.toolz.profile import (
+    Profiler,
+    pg_profile_enabled,
+    ms_slower_then,
+)
+
+profiler = Profiler(
+    msg='<description of profiled section>',
+    disabled=False,  # IMPORTANT: enable explicitly!
+    ms_threshold=0.0,  # show all timings
+)
+
+# do work
+some_operation()
+profiler('step 1 complete')
+
+# more work
+another_operation()
+profiler('step 2 complete')
+
+# prints on exit:
+# > Entering <description of profiled section>
+#   step 1 complete: 12.34, tot:12.34
+#   step 2 complete: 56.78, tot:69.12
+# < Exiting <description>, total: 69.12 ms
+```
+
+### Default Behavior Gotcha
+
+**CRITICAL:** Profiler is disabled by default in
+many contexts!
+
+```python
+# BAD: might not print anything!
+profiler = Profiler(msg='my operation')
+
+# GOOD: explicit enable
+profiler = Profiler(
+    msg='my operation',
+    disabled=False,  # force enable!
+    ms_threshold=0.0,  # show all steps
+)
+```
+
+### Profiler Output Format
+
+```
+> Entering <msg>
+  <label 1>: <delta_ms>, tot:<cumulative_ms>
+  <label 2>: <delta_ms>, tot:<cumulative_ms>
+  ...
+< Exiting <msg>, total time: <total_ms> ms
+```
+
+**Reading the output:**
+- `delta_ms` = time since previous checkpoint
+- `cumulative_ms` = time since profiler creation
+- Final total = end-to-end time
+
+## Profiling Distributed Systems
+
+Piker runs across multiple processes (actors). Each
+actor has its own log output.
+
+### Common piker actors
+- `pikerd` - main daemon process
+- `brokerd` - broker connection actor
+- `chart` - UI/graphics actor
+- Client scripts - analysis/annotation clients
+
+### Cross-Actor Profiling Strategy
+
+1. Add `Profiler` on **both** client and server
+2. Correlate timestamps from each actor's output
+3. Calculate IPC overhead = total - (client + server
+   processing)
+
+**Example correlation:**
+
+Client console:
+```
+> Entering markup_gaps() for 1285 gaps
+  initial redraw: 0.20ms, tot:0.20
+  built annotation specs: 256.48ms, tot:256.68
+  batch IPC call complete: 119.26ms, tot:375.94
+  final redraw: 0.07ms, tot:376.02
+< Exiting markup_gaps(), total: 376.04ms
+```
+
+Server console (chart actor):
+```
+> Entering Batch annotate 1285 gaps
+  `np.searchsorted()` complete!: 0.81ms, tot:0.81
+  `time_to_row` creation: 98.45ms, tot:99.28
+  created GapAnnotations item: 2.98ms, tot:102.26
+< Exiting Batch annotate, total: 104.15ms
+```
+
+**Analysis:**
+- Total client time: 376ms
+- Server processing: 104ms
+- IPC overhead + client spec building: 272ms
+- Bottleneck: client-side spec building (256ms)
+
+## Integration with PyQtGraph
+
+Some piker modules integrate with `pyqtgraph`'s
+profiling:
+
+```python
+from piker.toolz.profile import (
+    Profiler,
+    pg_profile_enabled,
+    ms_slower_then,
+)
+
+profiler = Profiler(
+    msg='Curve.paint()',
+    disabled=not pg_profile_enabled(),
+    ms_threshold=ms_slower_then,
+)
+```
+
+## Performance Expectations
+
+**Typical timings:**
+- IPC round-trip (local actors): 1-10ms
+- NumPy binary search (10k array): <1ms
+- Dict building (1k items, simple): 1-5ms
+- Qt redraw trigger: 0.1-1ms
+- Scene item removal (100s items): 10-50ms
+
+**Red flags:**
+- Linear array scan per item: 50-100ms+ for 1k
+- Dict comprehension with struct array: 50-100ms
+- Individual Qt item creation: 5ms per item
+

+# Profiling Patterns
+
+Detailed profiling patterns for use with
+`piker.toolz.profile.Profiler`.
+
+## Pattern: Function Entry/Exit
+
+```python
+async def my_function():
+    profiler = Profiler(
+        msg='my_function()',
+        disabled=False,
+        ms_threshold=0.0,
+    )
+
+    step1()
+    profiler('step1')
+
+    step2()
+    profiler('step2')
+
+    # auto-prints on exit
+```
+
+## Pattern: Loop Iterations
+
+```python
+# DON'T profile inside tight loops (overhead!)
+for i in range(1000):
+    profiler(f'iteration {i}')  # NO!
+
+# DO profile around loops
+profiler = Profiler(msg='processing 1000 items')
+for i in range(1000):
+    process(item[i])
+profiler('processed all items')
+```
+
+## Pattern: Conditional Profiling
+
+```python
+# only profile when investigating specific issue
+DEBUG_REPOSITION = True
+
+def reposition(self, array):
+    if DEBUG_REPOSITION:
+        profiler = Profiler(
+            msg='GapAnnotations.reposition()',
+            disabled=False,
+        )
+
+    # ... do work
+
+    if DEBUG_REPOSITION:
+        profiler('completed reposition')
+```
+
+## Pattern: Teardown/Cleanup Profiling
+
+```python
+try:
+    # ... main work
+    pass
+finally:
+    profiler = Profiler(
+        msg='Annotation teardown',
+        disabled=False,
+        ms_threshold=0.0,
+    )
+
+    cleanup_resources()
+    profiler('resources cleaned')
+
+    close_connections()
+    profiler('connections closed')
+```
+
+## Pattern: Distributed IPC Profiling
+
+### Server-side (chart actor)
+
+```python
+# piker/ui/_remote_ctl.py
+@tractor.context
+async def remote_annotate(ctx):
+    async with ctx.open_stream() as stream:
+        async for msg in stream:
+            profiler = Profiler(
+                msg=f'Batch annotate {n} gaps',
+                disabled=False,
+                ms_threshold=0.0,
+            )
+
+            result = await handle_request(msg)
+            profiler('request handled')
+
+            await stream.send(result)
+            profiler('result sent')
+```
+
+### Client-side (analysis script)
+
+```python
+# piker/tsp/_annotate.py
+async def markup_gaps(...):
+    profiler = Profiler(
+        msg=f'markup_gaps() for {n} gaps',
+        disabled=False,
+        ms_threshold=0.0,
+    )
+
+    await actl.redraw()
+    profiler('initial redraw')
+
+    specs = build_specs(gaps)
+    profiler('built annotation specs')
+
+    # IPC round-trip!
+    result = await actl.add_batch(specs)
+    profiler('batch IPC call complete')
+
+    await actl.redraw()
+    profiler('final redraw')
+```
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### IPC Request/Response Timing
+
+```python
+# Client side
+profiler = Profiler(msg='Remote request')
+result = await remote_call()
+profiler('got response')
+
+# Server side (in handler)
+profiler = Profiler(msg='Handle request')
+process_request()
+profiler('request processed')
+```
+
+### Batch Operation Optimization
+
+```python
+profiler = Profiler(msg='Batch processing')
+
+items = collect_all()
+profiler(f'collected {len(items)} items')
+
+results = numpy_batch_op(items)
+profiler('numpy op complete')
+
+output = {
+    k: v for k, v in zip(keys, results)
+}
+profiler('dict built')
+```
+
+### Startup/Initialization Timing
+
+```python
+async def __aenter__(self):
+    profiler = Profiler(msg='Service startup')
+
+    await connect_to_broker()
+    profiler('broker connected')
+
+    await load_config()
+    profiler('config loaded')
+
+    await start_feeds()
+    profiler('feeds started')
+
+    return self
+```
+
+## Debugging Performance Regressions
+
+When profiler shows unexpected slowness:
+
+### 1. Add finer-grained checkpoints
+
+```python
+# was:
+result = big_function()
+profiler('big_function done')
+
+# now:
+profiler = Profiler(
+    msg='big_function internals',
+)
+step1 = part_a()
+profiler('part_a')
+step2 = part_b()
+profiler('part_b')
+step3 = part_c()
+profiler('part_c')
+```
+
+### 2. Check for hidden iterations
+
+```python
+# looks simple but might be slow!
+result = array[array['time'] == timestamp]
+profiler('array lookup')
+
+# reveals O(n) scan per call
+for ts in timestamps:  # outer loop
+    row = array[array['time'] == ts]  # O(n)!
+```
+
+### 3. Isolate IPC from computation
+
+```python
+# was: can't tell where time is spent
+result = await remote_call(data)
+profiler('remote call done')
+
+# now: separate phases
+payload = prepare_payload(data)
+profiler('payload prepared')
+
+result = await remote_call(payload)
+profiler('IPC complete')
+
+parsed = parse_result(result)
+profiler('result parsed')
+```

+  Piker developer communication style, slang, and
+  ethos. Apply when communicating with piker devs,
+  writing commit messages, code review comments, or
+  any collaborative interaction.
+user-invocable: false
+---
+
+# Piker Slang & Communication Style
+
+The essential skill for fitting in with the degen
+trader-hacker class of devs who built and maintain
+`piker`.
+
+## Core Philosophy
+
+Piker devs are:
+- **Technical AF** - deep systems knowledge,
+  performance obsessed
+- **Irreverent** - don't take ourselves too
+  seriously
+- **Direct** - no corporate speak, no BS, just
+  real talk
+- **Collaborative** - we build together, debug
+  together, win together
+
+Communication style: precision meets chaos,
+academia meets /r/wallstreetbets, systems
+programming meets trading floor banter.
+
+## Grammar & Style Rules
+
+### 1. Typos with inline corrections
+```
+dint (didn't) help at all
+gonna (going to) try with...
+deats (details) wise i want...
+```
+Pattern: `[typo] ([correction])` in same sentence
+
+### 2. Casual grammar violations (embrace them!)
+- `ain't` - use freely
+- `y'all` - for addressing group
+- Starting sentences with lowercase
+- Dropping articles: "need to fix the thing"
+  becomes "need to fix thing"
+- Stream of consciousness without full sentence
+  structure
+
+### 3. Ellipsis usage
+```
+yeah i think we should try..
+..might need to also check for..
+not sure tho..
+```
+Use `..` (two dots) not `...` (three) - chiller
+
+### 4. Emphasis through spelling
+- `soooo` - very (sooo good, sooo fast)
+- `veeery` - very (veeery interesting)
+- `wayyy` - way (wayyy better)
+
+### 5. Punctuation style
+- Minimal capitalization (lowercase preferred)
+- Question marks optional if context is clear
+- Commas used sparingly
+- Lots of newlines for readability
+

+# Piker Communication Examples
+
+Real-world interaction patterns for communicating
+in the piker dev style.
+
+## When Giving Feedback
+
+**Direct, no sugar-coating:**
+```
+BAD:  "This approach might not be optimal"
+GOOD: "this is sloppy, there's likely a better
+       vectorized approach"
+
+BAD:  "Perhaps we should consider..."
+GOOD: "you should definitely try X instead"
+
+BAD:  "I'm not entirely certain, but..."
+GOOD: "prolly it's bc we're doing Y, check the
+       profiler #s"
+```
+
+**Celebrate wins:**
+```
+"eyyooo, way faster now!"
+"booyakashaa, sub-ms lookups B)"
+"yeah definitely crushed that bottleneck"
+```
+
+**Acknowledge mistakes:**
+```
+"ahh yeah you're right, ma bad"
+"woops, forgot to check that case"
+"lul, totally missed the obvi issue there"
+```
+
+## When Explaining Technical Concepts
+
+**Mix precision with casual:**
+```
+"so basically `np.searchsorted()` is doing binary
+search which is O(log n) instead of the linear
+O(n) scan we were doing before with `np.isin()`,
+that's why it's like 1000x faster ya know?"
+```
+
+**Use backticks heavily:**
+- Wrap all code symbols: `function()`,
+  `ClassName`, `field_name`
+- File paths: `piker/ui/_remote_ctl.py`
+- Commands: `git status`, `piker store ldshm`
+
+**Explain like you're pair programming:**
+```
+"ok so the issue is prolly in `.reposition()` bc
+we're calling it with the wrong timeframe's
+array.. check line 589 where we're doing the
+timestamp lookup - that's gonna fail if the array
+has different sample times rn"
+```
+
+## When Debugging
+
+**Think out loud:**
+```
+"hmm yeah that makes sense bc..
+wait no actually..
+ahh ok i see it now, the timestamp lookups are
+failing bc.."
+```
+
+**Profile-first mentality:**
+```
+"let's add profiling around that section and see
+where the holdup is.. i'm guessing it's the dict
+building but could be the searchsorted too"
+```
+
+**Iterative refinement:**
+```
+"ok try this and lemme know the #s..
+if it's still slow we can try Y instead..
+prolly there's one more optimization left"
+```
+
+## Code Review Style
+
+**Be direct but helpful:**
+```
+"you friggin guy XD can't we just pass that to
+the meth (method) directly instead of coupling
+it to state? would be way cleaner"
+
+"cmon mann, this is python - if you're gonna use
+try/finally you need to indent all the code up
+to the finally block"
+
+"yeah looks good but prolly we should add the
+check at line 582 before we do the lookup,
+otherwise it'll spam warnings"
+```
+
+## Asking for Clarification
+
+```
+"wait so are we trying to optimize the client
+side or server side rn? or both lol"
+
+"mm yeah, any chance you can point me to the
+current code for this so i can think about it
+before we try X?"
+```
+
+## Proposing Solutions
+
+```
+"ok so i think the move here is to vectorize the
+timestamp lookups using binary search.. should
+drop that 100ms way down. wanna give it a shot?"
+
+"prolly we should just add a timeframe check at
+the top of `.reposition()` and bail early if it
+doesn't match ya?"
+```
+
+## Reacting to User Feedback
+
+```
+User: "yeah the arrows are too big now"
+Response: "ahh yeah you're right, lemme check the
+upstream `makeArrowPath()` code to see what the
+dims actually mean.."
+
+User: "dint (didn't) help at all it seems"
+Response: "bleh! ok so there's prolly another
+bottleneck then, let's add moar profiler calls
+and narrow it down"
+```
+
+## End of Session
+
+```
+"aight so we got some solid wins today:
+- ~36x client speedup (6.6s -> 376ms)
+- ~180x server speedup
+- fixed the timeframe mismatch spam
+- added teardown profiling
+
+ready to call it a night?"
+```
+
+## Advanced Moves
+
+### The Parenthetical Correction
+```
+"yeah i dint (didn't) realize we were hitting
+that path"
+"need to check the deats (details) on how
+searchsorted works"
+```
+
+### The Rhetorical Question Flow
+```
+"so like, why are we even building this dict per
+reposition call? can't we just cache it and
+invalidate when the array changes? prolly way
+faster that way no?"
+```
+
+### The Rambling Realization
+```
+"ok so the thing is.. wait actually.. hmm.. yeah
+ok so i think what's happening is the timestamp
+lookups are failing bc the 1s gaps are being
+repositioned with the 60s array.. which like,
+obvi won't have those exact timestamps bc it's
+sampled differently.. so we prolly just need to
+skip reposition if the timeframes don't match
+ya?"
+```
+
+### The Self-Deprecating Pivot
+```
+"lol ok yeah that was totally wrong, ma bad.
+let's try Y instead and see if that helps"
+```
+
+## The Vibe
+
+```
+"yo so i was profiling that batch rendering thing
+and holy shit we were doing like 3855 linear
+scans.. switched to searchsorted and boom,
+100ms -> 5ms. still think there's moar juice to
+squeeze tho, prolly in the dict building part.
+gonna add some profiler calls and see where the
+holdup is rn.
+
+anyway yeah, good sesh today B) learned a ton
+aboot pyqtgraph internals, might write that up
+as a skill file for future collabs ya know?"

+  PyQtGraph batch rendering optimization patterns
+  for piker's UI. Apply when optimizing graphics
+  performance, adding new chart annotations, or
+  working with `QGraphicsItem` subclasses.
+user-invocable: false
+---
+
+# PyQtGraph Rendering Optimization
+
+Skill for researching and optimizing `pyqtgraph`
+graphics primitives by leveraging `piker`'s
+existing extensions and production-ready patterns.
+
+## Research Flow
+
+When tasked with optimizing rendering performance
+(particularly for large datasets), follow this
+systematic approach:
+
+### 1. Study Piker's Existing Primitives
+
+Start by examining `piker.ui._curve` and related
+modules:
+
+```python
+# Key modules to review:
+piker/ui/_curve.py      # FlowGraphic, Curve
+piker/ui/_editors.py    # ArrowEditor, SelectRect
+piker/ui/_annotate.py   # Custom batch renderers
+```
+
+**Look for:**
+- Use of `QPainterPath` for batch path rendering
+- `QGraphicsItem` subclasses with custom `.paint()`
+- Cache mode settings (`.setCacheMode()`)
+- Coordinate system transformations
+- Custom bounding rect calculations
+
+### 2. Identify Upstream PyQtGraph Patterns
+
+**Key upstream modules:**
+```python
+pyqtgraph/graphicsItems/BarGraphItem.py
+    # PrimitiveArray for batch rect rendering
+
+pyqtgraph/graphicsItems/ScatterPlotItem.py
+    # Fragment-based rendering for point clouds
+
+pyqtgraph/functions.py
+    # Utility fns like makeArrowPath()
+
+pyqtgraph/Qt/internals.py
+    # PrimitiveArray for batch drawing primitives
+```
+
+**Search for:**
+- `PrimitiveArray` usage (batch rect/point)
+- `QPainterPath` batching patterns
+- Shared pen/brush reuse across items
+- Coordinate transformation strategies
+
+### 3. Core Batch Patterns
+
+**Core optimization principle:**
+Creating individual `QGraphicsItem` instances is
+expensive. Batch rendering eliminates per-item
+overhead.
+
+#### Pattern: Batch Rectangle Rendering
+
+```python
+import pyqtgraph as pg
+from pyqtgraph.Qt import QtCore
+
+class BatchRectRenderer(pg.GraphicsObject):
+    def __init__(self, n_items):
+        super().__init__()
+
+        # allocate rect array once
+        self._rectarray = (
+            pg.Qt.internals.PrimitiveArray(
+                QtCore.QRectF, 4,
+            )
+        )
+
+        # shared pen/brush (not per-item!)
+        self._pen = pg.mkPen(
+            'dad_blue', width=1,
+        )
+        self._brush = (
+            pg.functions.mkBrush('dad_blue')
+        )
+
+    def paint(self, p, opt, w):
+        # batch draw all rects in single call
+        p.setPen(self._pen)
+        p.setBrush(self._brush)
+        drawargs = self._rectarray.drawargs()
+        p.drawRects(*drawargs)  # all at once!
+```
+
+#### Pattern: Batch Path Rendering
+
+```python
+class BatchPathRenderer(pg.GraphicsObject):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+        self._path = QtGui.QPainterPath()
+
+    def paint(self, p, opt, w):
+        # single path draw for all geometry
+        p.setPen(self._pen)
+        p.setBrush(self._brush)
+        p.drawPath(self._path)
+```
+
+### 4. Handle Coordinate Systems Carefully
+
+**Scene vs Data vs Pixel coordinates:**
+
+```python
+def paint(self, p, opt, w):
+    # save original transform (data -> scene)
+    orig_tr = p.transform()
+
+    # draw rects in data coordinates
+    p.setPen(self._rect_pen)
+    p.drawRects(*self._rectarray.drawargs())
+
+    # reset to scene coords for pixel-perfect
+    p.resetTransform()
+
+    # build arrow path in scene/pixel coords
+    for spec in self._specs:
+        scene_pt = orig_tr.map(
+            QPointF(x_data, y_data),
+        )
+        sx, sy = scene_pt.x(), scene_pt.y()
+
+        # arrow geometry in pixels (zoom-safe!)
+        arrow_poly = QtGui.QPolygonF([
+            QPointF(sx, sy),         # tip
+            QPointF(sx - 2, sy - 10),  # left
+            QPointF(sx + 2, sy - 10),  # right
+        ])
+        arrow_path.addPolygon(arrow_poly)
+
+    p.drawPath(arrow_path)
+
+    # restore data coordinate system
+    p.setTransform(orig_tr)
+```
+
+### 5. Minimize Redundant State
+
+**Share resources across all items:**
+```python
+# GOOD: one pen/brush for all items
+self._shared_pen = pg.mkPen(color, width=1)
+self._shared_brush = (
+    pg.functions.mkBrush(color)
+)
+
+# BAD: creating per-item (memory + time waste!)
+for item in items:
+    item.setPen(pg.mkPen(color, width=1))  # NO!
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Don't mix coordinate systems within single
+   paint call** - decide per-primitive: data coords
+   or scene coords. Use `p.transform()` /
+   `p.resetTransform()` carefully.
+
+2. **Don't forget bounding rect updates** -
+   override `.boundingRect()` to include all
+   primitives. Update when geometry changes via
+   `.prepareGeometryChange()`.
+
+3. **Don't use ItemCoordinateCache for dynamic
+   content** - use `DeviceCoordinateCache` for
+   frequently updated items or `NoCache` during
+   interactive operations.
+
+4. **Don't trigger updates per-item in loops** -
+   batch all changes, then single `.update()`.
+
+## Performance Expectations
+
+**Individual items (baseline):**
+- 1000+ items: ~5+ seconds to create
+- Each item: ~5ms overhead (Qt object creation)
+
+**Batch rendering (optimized):**
+- 1000+ items: <100ms to create
+- Single item: ~0.01ms per primitive in batch
+- **Expected: 50-100x speedup**

+# PyQtGraph Optimization Examples
+
+Real-world optimization case studies from piker.
+
+## Case Study: Gap Annotations (1285 gaps)
+
+### Before: Individual `pg.ArrowItem` + `SelectRect`
+
+```
+Total creation time: 6.6 seconds
+Per-item overhead: ~5ms
+Memory: 1285 ArrowItem + 1285 SelectRect objects
+```
+
+Each gap was rendered as two separate
+`QGraphicsItem` instances (arrow + highlight rect),
+resulting in 2570 Qt objects.
+
+### After: Single `GapAnnotations` batch renderer
+
+```
+Total creation time:
+  104ms (server) + 376ms (client)
+Effective per-item: ~0.08ms
+Speedup: ~36x client, ~180x server
+Memory: 1 GapAnnotations object
+```
+
+All 1285 gaps rendered via:
+- One `PrimitiveArray` for all rectangles
+- One `QPainterPath` for all arrows
+- Shared pen/brush across all items
+
+### Profiler Output (Client)
+
+```
+> Entering markup_gaps() for 1285 gaps
+  initial redraw: 0.20ms, tot:0.20
+  built annotation specs: 256.48ms, tot:256.68
+  batch IPC call complete: 119.26ms, tot:375.94
+  final redraw: 0.07ms, tot:376.02
+< Exiting markup_gaps(), total: 376.04ms
+```
+
+### Profiler Output (Server)
+
+```
+> Entering Batch annotate 1285 gaps
+  `np.searchsorted()` complete!: 0.81ms, tot:0.81
+  `time_to_row` creation: 98.45ms, tot:99.28
+  created GapAnnotations item: 2.98ms, tot:102.26
+< Exiting Batch annotate, total: 104.15ms
+```
+
+## Positioning/Update Pattern
+
+For annotations that need repositioning when the
+view scrolls or zooms:
+
+```python
+def reposition(self, array):
+    '''
+    Update positions based on new array data.
+
+    '''
+    # vectorized timestamp lookups (not linear!)
+    time_to_row = self._build_lookup(array)
+
+    # update rect array in-place
+    rect_memory = self._rectarray.ndarray()
+    for i, spec in enumerate(self._specs):
+        row = time_to_row.get(spec['time'])
+        if row:
+            rect_memory[i, 0] = row['index']
+            rect_memory[i, 1] = row['close']
+            # ... width, height
+
+    # trigger repaint (single call, not per-item)
+    self.update()
+```
+
+**Key insight:** Update the underlying memory
+arrays directly, then call `.update()` once.
+Never create/destroy Qt objects during reposition.

+
+# Timeseries Optimization: NumPy & Polars
+
+Skill for high-performance timeseries processing
+using NumPy and Polars, with focus on patterns
+common in financial/trading applications.
+
+## Core Principle: Vectorization Over Iteration
+
+**Never write Python loops over large arrays.**
+Always look for vectorized alternatives.
+
+```python
+# BAD: Python loop (slow!)
+results = []
+for i in range(len(array)):
+    if array['time'][i] == target_time:
+        results.append(array[i])
+
+# GOOD: vectorized boolean indexing (fast!)
+results = array[array['time'] == target_time]
+```
+
+## Timestamp Lookup Patterns
+
+The most critical optimization in piker timeseries
+code. Choose the right lookup strategy:
+
+### Linear Scan (O(n)) - Avoid!
+
+```python
+# BAD: O(n) scan through entire array
+for target_ts in timestamps:  # m iterations
+    matches = array[array['time'] == target_ts]
+    # Total: O(m * n) - catastrophic!
+```
+
+**Performance:**
+- 1000 lookups x 10k array = 10M comparisons
+- Timing: ~50-100ms for 1k lookups
+
+### Binary Search (O(log n)) - Good!
+
+```python
+# GOOD: O(m log n) using searchsorted
+import numpy as np
+
+time_arr = array['time']  # extract once
+ts_array = np.array(timestamps)
+
+# binary search for all timestamps at once
+indices = np.searchsorted(time_arr, ts_array)
+
+# bounds check and exact match verification
+valid_mask = (
+    (indices < len(array))
+    &
+    (time_arr[indices] == ts_array)
+)
+
+valid_indices = indices[valid_mask]
+matched_rows = array[valid_indices]
+```
+
+**Requirements for `searchsorted()`:**
+- Input array MUST be sorted (ascending)
+- Works on any sortable dtype (floats, ints)
+- Returns insertion indices (not found =
+  `len(array)`)
+
+**Performance:**
+- 1000 lookups x 10k array = ~10k comparisons
+- Timing: <1ms for 1k lookups
+- **~100-1000x faster than linear scan**
+
+### Hash Table (O(1)) - Best for Repeated Lookups!
+
+If you'll do many lookups on same array, build
+dict once:
+
+```python
+# build lookup once
+time_to_idx = {
+    float(array['time'][i]): i
+    for i in range(len(array))
+}
+
+# O(1) lookups
+for target_ts in timestamps:
+    idx = time_to_idx.get(target_ts)
+    if idx is not None:
+        row = array[idx]
+```
+
+**When to use:**
+- Many repeated lookups on same array
+- Array doesn't change between lookups
+- Can afford upfront dict building cost
+
+## Performance Checklist
+
+When optimizing timeseries operations:
+
+- [ ] Is the array sorted? (enables binary search)
+- [ ] Are you doing repeated lookups?
+  (build hash table)
+- [ ] Are struct fields accessed in loops?
+  (extract to plain arrays)
+- [ ] Are you using boolean indexing?
+  (vectorized vs loop)
+- [ ] Can operations be batched?
+  (minimize round-trips)
+- [ ] Is memory being copied unnecessarily?
+  (use views)
+- [ ] Are you using the right tool?
+  (NumPy vs Polars)
+
+## Common Bottlenecks and Fixes
+
+### Bottleneck: Timestamp Lookups
+
+```python
+# BEFORE: O(n*m) - 100ms for 1k lookups
+for ts in timestamps:
+    matches = array[array['time'] == ts]
+

+# NumPy Structured Array Patterns
+
+Detailed patterns for working with NumPy structured
+arrays in piker's financial data processing.
+
+## Piker's OHLCV Array Dtype
+
+```python
+# typical piker array dtype
+dtype = [
+    ('index', 'i8'),   # absolute sequence index
+    ('time', 'f8'),    # unix epoch timestamp
+    ('open', 'f8'),
+    ('high', 'f8'),
+    ('low', 'f8'),
+    ('close', 'f8'),
+    ('volume', 'f8'),
+]
+
+arr = np.array(
+    [(0, 1234.0, 100, 101, 99, 100.5, 1000)],
+    dtype=dtype,
+)
+
+# field access
+times = arr['time']     # returns view, not copy
+closes = arr['close']
+```
+
+## Structured Array Performance Gotchas
+
+### 1. Field access in loops is slow
+
+```python
+# BAD: repeated struct field access per iteration
+for i, row in enumerate(arr):
+    x = row['index']    # struct access!
+    y = row['close']
+    process(x, y)
+
+# GOOD: extract fields once, iterate plain arrays
+indices = arr['index']  # extract once
+closes = arr['close']
+for i in range(len(arr)):
+    x = indices[i]      # plain array indexing
+    y = closes[i]
+    process(x, y)
+```
+
+### 2. Dict comprehensions with struct arrays
+
+```python
+# SLOW: field access per row in Python loop
+time_to_row = {
+    float(row['time']): {
+        'index': float(row['index']),
+        'close': float(row['close']),
+    }
+    for row in matched_rows  # struct access!
+}
+
+# FAST: extract to plain arrays first
+times = matched_rows['time'].astype(float)
+indices = matched_rows['index'].astype(float)
+closes = matched_rows['close'].astype(float)
+
+time_to_row = {
+    t: {'index': idx, 'close': cls}
+    for t, idx, cls in zip(
+        times, indices, closes,
+    )
+}
+```
+
+## Vectorized Boolean Operations
+
+### Basic Filtering
+
+```python
+# single condition
+recent = array[array['time'] > cutoff_time]
+
+# multiple conditions with &, |
+filtered = array[
+    (array['time'] > start_time)
+    &
+    (array['time'] < end_time)
+    &
+    (array['volume'] > min_volume)
+]
+
+# IMPORTANT: parentheses required around each!
+# (operator precedence: & binds tighter than >)
+```
+
+### Fancy Indexing
+
+```python
+# boolean mask
+mask = array['close'] > array['open']  # up bars
+up_bars = array[mask]
+
+# integer indices
+indices = np.array([0, 5, 10, 15])
+selected = array[indices]
+
+# combine boolean + fancy indexing
+mask = array['volume'] > threshold
+high_vol_indices = np.where(mask)[0]
+subset = array[high_vol_indices[::2]]  # every other
+```
+
+## Common Financial Patterns
+
+### Gap Detection
+
+```python
+# assume sorted by time
+time_diffs = np.diff(array['time'])
+expected_step = 60.0  # 1-minute bars
+
+# find gaps larger than expected
+gap_mask = time_diffs > (expected_step * 1.5)
+gap_indices = np.where(gap_mask)[0]
+
+# get gap start/end times
+gap_starts = array['time'][gap_indices]
+gap_ends = array['time'][gap_indices + 1]
+```
+
+### Rolling Window Operations
+
+```python
+# simple moving average (close)
+window = 20
+sma = np.convolve(
+    array['close'],
+    np.ones(window) / window,
+    mode='valid',
+)
+
+# stride tricks for efficiency
+from numpy.lib.stride_tricks import (
+    sliding_window_view,
+)
+windows = sliding_window_view(
+    array['close'], window,
+)
+sma = windows.mean(axis=1)
+```
+
+### OHLC Resampling (NumPy)
+
+```python
+# resample 1m bars to 5m bars
+def resample_ohlc(arr, old_step, new_step):
+    n_bars = len(arr)
+    factor = int(new_step / old_step)
+
+    # truncate to multiple of factor
+    n_complete = (n_bars // factor) * factor
+    arr = arr[:n_complete]
+
+    # reshape into chunks
+    reshaped = arr.reshape(-1, factor)
+
+    # aggregate OHLC
+    opens = reshaped[:, 0]['open']
+    highs = reshaped['high'].max(axis=1)
+    lows = reshaped['low'].min(axis=1)
+    closes = reshaped[:, -1]['close']
+    volumes = reshaped['volume'].sum(axis=1)
+
+    return np.rec.fromarrays(
+        [opens, highs, lows, closes, volumes],
+        names=[
+            'open', 'high', 'low',
+            'close', 'volume',
+        ],
+    )
+```
+
+## Memory Considerations
+
+### Views vs Copies
+
+```python
+# VIEW: shares memory (fast, no copy)
+times = array['time']         # field access
+subset = array[10:20]         # slicing
+reshaped = array.reshape(-1, 2)
+
+# COPY: new memory allocation
+filtered = array[array['time'] > cutoff]
+sorted_arr = np.sort(array)
+casted = array.astype(np.float32)
+
+# force copy when needed
+explicit_copy = array.copy()
+```
+
+### In-Place Operations
+
+```python
+# modify in-place (no new allocation)
+array['close'] *= 1.01  # scale prices
+array['volume'][mask] = 0  # zero out rows
+
+# careful: compound ops may create temporaries
+array['close'] = array['close'] * 1.01  # temp!
+array['close'] *= 1.01  # true in-place
+```

+# Polars Integration Patterns
+
+Polars usage patterns for piker's timeseries
+processing, including NumPy interop.
+
+## NumPy <-> Polars Conversion
+
+```python
+import polars as pl
+
+# numpy to polars
+df = pl.from_numpy(
+    arr,
+    schema=[
+        'index', 'time', 'open', 'high',
+        'low', 'close', 'volume',
+    ],
+)
+
+# polars to numpy (via arrow)
+arr = df.to_numpy()
+
+# piker convenience
+from piker.tsp import np2pl, pl2np
+df = np2pl(arr)
+arr = pl2np(df)
+```
+
+## Polars Performance Patterns
+
+### Lazy Evaluation
+
+```python
+# build query lazily
+lazy_df = (
+    df.lazy()
+    .filter(pl.col('volume') > 1000)
+    .with_columns([
+        (
+            pl.col('close') - pl.col('open')
+        ).alias('change')
+    ])
+    .sort('time')
+)
+
+# execute once
+result = lazy_df.collect()
+```
+
+### Groupby Aggregations
+
+```python
+# resample to 5-minute bars
+resampled = df.groupby_dynamic(
+    index_column='time',
+    every='5m',
+).agg([
+    pl.col('open').first(),
+    pl.col('high').max(),
+    pl.col('low').min(),
+    pl.col('close').last(),
+    pl.col('volume').sum(),
+])
+```
+
+## When to Use Polars vs NumPy
+
+### Use Polars when:
+- Complex queries with multiple filters/joins
+- Need SQL-like operations (groupby, window fns)
+- Working with heterogeneous column types
+- Want lazy evaluation optimization
+
+### Use NumPy when:
+- Simple array operations (indexing, slicing)
+- Direct memory access needed (e.g., SHM arrays)
+- Compatibility with Qt/pyqtgraph (expects NumPy)
+- Maximum performance for numerical computation

-`NixOS` is our core devs' distro of choice for which we offer
-a stringently defined development shell envoirment that can be loaded with::
+start a chart
+*************
+run a realtime OHLCV chart stand-alone::
 
-    nix-shell develop.nix
+    [uv run] piker -l info chart btcusdt.spot.binance xmrusdt.spot.kraken
 
-this will setup the required python environment to run piker, make sure to
-run::
+    # ^^^ iff you haven't activated the py-env,
+    # - https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/projects/run/
+    #

-install wild-west style via `pip`
-*********************************
-``piker`` is currently under heavy pre-alpha development and as such
-should be cloned from this repo and hacked on directly.
-
-for a development install::
-
-    git clone git@github.com:pikers/piker.git
-    cd piker
-    virtualenv env
-    source ./env/bin/activate
-    pip install -r requirements.txt -e .
-
-
-check out our charts
-********************
-bet you weren't expecting this from the foss::
-
-    piker -l info -b kraken -b binance chart btcusdt.binance --pdb
-
-
-this runs the main chart (currently with 1m sampled OHLC) in in debug
-mode and you can practice paper trading using the following
-micro-manual:
-
-``order_mode`` (
-    edge triggered activation by any of the following keys,
-    ``mouse-click`` on y-level to submit at that price
-    ):
-
-    - ``f``/ ``ctl-f`` to stage buy
-    - ``d``/ ``ctl-d`` to stage sell
-    - ``a`` to stage alert
-
-
-``search_mode`` (
-    ``ctl-l`` or ``ctl-space`` to open,
-    ``ctl-c`` or ``ctl-space`` to close
-    ) :
-
-    - begin typing to have symbol search automatically lookup
-      symbols from all loaded backend (broker) providers
-    - arrow keys and mouse click to navigate selection
-    - vi-like ``ctl-[hjkl]`` for navigation
-
-
-you can also configure your position allocation limits from the
-sidepane.
-
-
-run in distributed mode
-***********************
-start the service manager and data feed daemon in the background and
-connect to it::
+spawn a daemon standalone
+*************************
+we call the root actor-process the ``pikerd``. it can be (and is
+recommended normally to be) started separately from the ``piker
+chart`` program::
 
     pikerd -l info --pdb
 
+the daemon does nothing until a ``piker``-client (like ``piker
+chart``) connects and requests some particular sub-system. for
+a connecting chart ``pikerd`` will spawn and manage at least,
 
-connect your chart::
+- a data-feed daemon: ``datad`` which does all the work of comms with
+  the backend provider (in this case the ``binance`` cex).
+- a paper-trading engine instance, ``paperboi.binance``, (if no live
+  account has been configured) which allows for auto/manual order
+  control against the live quote stream.
 
-    piker -l info -b kraken -b binance chart xmrusdt.binance --pdb
+*using* an actor-service (aka micro-daemon) manager which dynamically
+supervises various sub-subsystems-as-services throughout the ``piker``
+runtime-stack.
 
+now you can (implicitly) connect your chart::
 
-enjoy persistent real-time data feeds tied to daemon lifetime. the next
-time you spawn a chart it will load much faster since the data feed has
-been cached and is now always running live in the background until you
-kill ``pikerd``.
+    piker chart btcusdt.spot.binance
+
+since ``pikerd`` was started separately you can now enjoy a persistent
+real-time data stream tied to the daemon-tree's lifetime. i.e. the next
+time you spawn a chart it will obviously not only load much faster
+(since the underlying ``datad.binance`` is left running with its
+in-memory IPC data structures) but also the data-feed and any order
+mgmt states should be persistent until you finally cancel ``pikerd``.

+Each subdirectory corresponds to a specific AI tool
+or frontend and contains usage docs for the
+custom skills/prompts/workflows configured for it.
+
+Originally introduced in
+[PR #69](https://www.pikers.dev/pikers/piker/pulls/69);
+track new integration ideas and proposals in
+[issue #79](https://www.pikers.dev/pikers/piker/issues/79).
+
+## Integrations
+
+| Tool | Directory | Status |
+|------|-----------|--------|
+| [Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code) | [`claude-code/`](claude-code/) | active |
+
+## Adding a New Integration
+
+Create a subdirectory named after the tool (use
+lowercase + hyphens), then add:
+
+1. A `README.md` covering setup, available
+   skills/commands, and usage examples
+2. Any tool-specific config or prompt files
+
+```
+ai/
+├── README.md                  # <- you are here
+├── claude-code/
+│   └── README.md
+├── opencode/                  # future
+│   └── README.md
+└── <your-tool>/
+    └── README.md
+```
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Skill/command names use **hyphen-case**
+  (`commit-msg`, not `commit_msg`)
+- Each integration doc should describe **what**
+  the skill does, **how** to invoke it, and any
+  **output** artifacts it produces
+- Keep docs concise; link to the actual skill
+  source files (under `.claude/skills/`, etc.)
+  rather than duplicating content

+# Claude Code Integration
+
+[Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code)
+skills and workflows for piker development.
+
+## Skills
+
+| Skill | Invocable | Description |
+|-------|-----------|-------------|
+| [`commit-msg`](#commit-msg) | `/commit-msg` | Generate piker-style commit messages |
+| `piker-profiling` | auto | `Profiler` API patterns for perf work |
+| `piker-slang` | auto | Communication style + slang guide |
+| `pyqtgraph-optimization` | auto | Batch rendering patterns |
+| `timeseries-optimization` | auto | NumPy/Polars perf patterns |
+
+Skills marked **auto** are background knowledge
+applied automatically when Claude detects relevance.
+Only `commit-msg` is user-invoked via slash command.
+
+Skill source files live under
+`.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`.
+
+---
+
+## `/commit-msg`
+
+Generate piker-style git commit messages trained on
+500+ commits from the repo history.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```
+# basic - analyzes staged diff automatically
+/commit-msg
+
+# with scope hint
+/commit-msg .ib.feed: fix bar trimming
+
+# with description context
+/commit-msg refactor position tracking
+```
+
+### What It Does
+
+1. **Reads staged changes** via dynamic context
+   injection (`git diff --staged --stat`)
+2. **Reads recent commits** for style reference
+   (`git log --oneline -10`)
+3. **Generates** a commit message following
+   piker conventions (verb choice, backtick refs,
+   colon prefixes, section markers, etc.)
+4. **Writes** the message to two files:
+   - `.claude/<timestamp>_<hash>_commit_msg.md`
+   - `.claude/git_commit_msg_LATEST.md`
+     (overwritten each time)
+
+### Arguments
+
+The optional argument after `/commit-msg` is
+passed as `$ARGUMENTS` and used as scope or
+description context. Examples:
+
+| Invocation | Effect |
+|------------|--------|
+| `/commit-msg` | Infer scope from diff |
+| `/commit-msg .ib.feed` | Use `.ib.feed:` prefix |
+| `/commit-msg fix the null seg crash` | Use as description hint |
+
+### Output Format
+
+**Subject line:**
+- ~50 chars target, 67 max
+- Present tense verb (Add, Drop, Fix, Factor..)
+- Backtick-wrapped code refs
+- Optional module prefix (`.ib.feed: ...`)
+
+**Body** (when needed):
+- 67 char line max
+- Section markers: `Also,`, `Deats,`, `Further,`
+- `-` bullet lists for multiple changes
+- Piker abbreviations (`msg`, `mod`, `impl`,
+  `deps`, `bc`, `obvi`, `prolly`..)
+
+**Footer** (always):
+```
+(this patch was generated in some part by
+[`claude-code`][claude-code-gh])
+[claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
+```
+
+### Output Files
+
+After generation, the commit message is written to:
+
+```
+.claude/
+├── <timestamp>_<hash>_commit_msg.md   # archived
+└── git_commit_msg_LATEST.md           # latest
+```
+
+Where `<timestamp>` is ISO-8601 with seconds and
+`<hash>` is the first 7 chars of the current
+`HEAD` commit.
+
+Use the latest file to feed into `git commit`:
+
+```bash
+git commit -F .claude/git_commit_msg_LATEST.md
+```
+
+Or review/edit before committing:
+
+```bash
+cat .claude/git_commit_msg_LATEST.md
+# edit if needed, then:
+git commit -F .claude/git_commit_msg_LATEST.md
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+**Simple one-liner output:**
+```
+Add `MktPair.fqme` property for symbol resolution
+```
+
+**Multi-file change output:**
+```
+Factor `.claude/skills/` into proper subdirs
+
+Deats,
+- `commit_msg/` -> `commit-msg/` w/ enhanced
+  frontmatter
+- all background skills set `user-invocable: false`
+- content split into supporting files
+
+(this patch was generated in some part by
+[`claude-code`][claude-code-gh])
+[claude-code-gh]: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code
+```
+
+### Frontmatter Reference
+
+The skill's `SKILL.md` uses these Claude Code
+frontmatter fields:
+
+```yaml
+---
+name: commit-msg
+description: >
+  Generate piker-style git commit messages...
+argument-hint: "[optional-scope-or-description]"
+disable-model-invocation: true
+allowed-tools:
+  - Bash(git *)
+  - Read
+  - Grep
+  - Glob
+  - Write
+---
+```
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `argument-hint` | Shows hint in autocomplete |
+| `disable-model-invocation` | Only user can trigger via `/commit-msg` |
+| `allowed-tools` | Tools the skill can use |
+
+### Dynamic Context
+
+The skill injects live data at invocation time
+via `!`backtick`` syntax in the `SKILL.md`:
+
+```markdown
+## Current staged changes
+!`git diff --staged --stat`
+
+## Recent commit style reference
+!`git log --oneline -10`
+```
+
+This means the staged diff stats and recent log
+are always fresh when the skill runs -- no stale
+context.

+SECURITY stuff (advanced, only if you're paranoid)
+--------------------------------------------------
+First and foremost if doing a "distributed" container setup where you
+run the ``ib-gw`` docker container and your connecting API client
+(likely ``ib_async`` from python) on **different hosts** be sure to
+read the `security considerations`_ section!
+
+And for a further (somewhat paranoid) perspective from
+a long-time-ago serious devops eng..
+
+Though "``ib``" claims they filter remote host connections outside
+``localhost`` (aka ``127.0.0.1`` on ipv4) it's prolly justified if
+you'd like to filter the socket at the *OS level* using a stateless
+firewall rule::
 
     ip rule add not unicast iif lo to 0.0.0.0/0 dport 4002

+# 4.   TWS Auto-Logoff and Auto-Restart
 # =============================================================================
 #
-# IMPORTANT NOTE: Starting with TWS 974, this setting no longer
-# works properly, because IB have changed the way TWS handles its
-# autologoff mechanism. 
+# TWS and Gateway insist on being restarted every day. Two alternative
+# automatic options are offered: 
 #
-# You should now configure the TWS autologoff time to something
-# convenient for you, and restart IBC each day.
+#    - Auto-Logoff: at a specified time, TWS shuts down tidily, without
+#      restarting.
 #
-# Alternatively, discontinue use of IBC and use the auto-relogin
-# mechanism within TWS 974 and later versions (note that the 
-# auto-relogin mechanism provided by IB is not available if you
-# use IBC).
+#    - Auto-Restart: at a specified time, TWS shuts down and then restarts
+#      without the user having to re-autheticate.
+#
+# The normal way to configure the time at which this happens is via the Lock
+# and Exit section of the Configuration dialog. Once this time has been
+# configured in this way, the setting persists until the user changes it again.
+#
+# However, there are situations where there is no user available to do this
+# configuration, or where there is no persistent storage (for example some
+# Docker images). In such cases, the auto-restart or auto-logoff time can be
+# set whenever IBC starts with the settings below.
+#
+# The value, if specified, must be a time in HH:MM AM/PM format, for example
+# 08:00 AM or 10:00 PM. Note that there must be a single space between the
+# two parts of this value; also that midnight is "12:00 AM" and midday is
+# "12:00 PM".
+#
+# If no value is specified for either setting, the currently configured
+# settings will apply. If a value is supplied for one setting, the other
+# setting is cleared. If values are supplied for both settings, only the
+# auto-restart time is set, and the auto-logoff time is cleared.
+#
+# Note that for a normal TWS/Gateway installation with persistent storage
+# (for example on a desktop computer) the value will be persisted as if the
+# user had set it via the configuration dialog.
+#
+# If you choose to auto-restart, you should take note of the considerations
+# described at the link below. Note that where this information mentions
+# 'manual authentication', restarting IBC will do the job (IBKR does not
+# recognise the existence of IBC in its docuemntation).
+#
+#  https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/tws/twsguide.htm#usersguidebook/configuretws/auto_restart_info.htm
+#
+# If you use the "RESTART" command via the IBC command server, and IBC is
+# running any version of the Gateway (or a version of TWS earlier than 1018),
+# note that this will set the Auto-Restart time in Gateway/TWS's configuration
+# dialog to the time at which the restart actually happens (which may be up to
+# a minute after the RESTART command is issued). To prevent future auto-
+# restarts at this time, you must make sure you have set AutoLogoffTime or
+# AutoRestartTime to your desired value before running IBC. NB: this does not
+# apply to TWS from version 1018 onwards.
 
-# Set to yes or no (lower case).
-#
-#   yes   means allow TWS to shut down automatically at its
-# 	  specified shutdown time, which is set via the TWS
-#	  configuration menu.
-#
-#   no    means TWS never shuts down automatically.
-#
-# NB: IB recommends that you do not keep TWS running
-# continuously. If you set this setting to 'no', you may
-# experience incorrect TWS operation.

+.pnl
+----
+BEP, the break even price: the price at which liquidating
+a remaining position results in a zero PnL since the position was
+"opened" in the destination asset.
+
+PPU: price-per-unit: the "average cost" (in cumulative mean terms)
+of the "entry" transactions which "make a position larger"; taking
+a profit relative to this price means that you will "make more
+profit then made prior" since the position was opened.

+---------
+the `piker.clearing` subsys is exposed mainly though
+the `piker chart` GUI as a "chart trader" style UX and
+is automatically enabled whenever a chart is opened.
+
+.. ^TODO, more prose here!
+
+the "manual" order control features are exposed via the
+`piker.ui.order_mode` API and can pretty much always be
+used (at least) in simulated-trading mode, aka "paper"-mode, and
+the micro-manual is as follows:
+
+``order_mode`` (
+    edge triggered activation by any of the following keys,
+    ``mouse-click`` on y-level to submit at that price
+    ):
+
+    - ``f``/ ``ctl-f`` to stage buy
+    - ``d``/ ``ctl-d`` to stage sell
+    - ``a`` to stage alert
+
+
+``search_mode`` (
+    ``ctl-l`` or ``ctl-space`` to open,
+    ``ctl-c`` or ``ctl-space`` to close
+    ) :
+
+    - begin typing to have symbol search automatically lookup
+      symbols from all loaded backend (broker) providers
+    - arrow keys and mouse click to navigate selection
+    - vi-like ``ctl-[hjkl]`` for navigation
+
+
+position (pp) mgmt
+------------------
+you can also configure your position allocation limits from the
+sidepane.
