# slopbot
Zulip bot for [meshheads.org](https://zulip.meshheads.org) that replies with stock prices when it sees `$TICKER` patterns and calls `agent` for `@slop` mentions.
## Usage
Post `$NVDA` or `$AAPL is mooning` in any stream and slopbot replies with the current price. Mention `@slop` and it runs a one-shot `agent` subprocess with recent Zulip topic history.
## Setup
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .zuliprc.example .zuliprc
cp .env.example .env
# edit .zuliprc with your bot credentials
# edit .env with agent/provider settings if needed
python main.py
```
Get your `.zuliprc` from Zulip: Settings → Bots → your bot → download config.
## Architecture
- `main.py` — single-file bot, raw `zulip` event loop (no framework)
- `fetch_price(ticker)` — isolated data layer, easy to swap yfinance for a real API
- `ask_agent(msg, content)` — runs the Rust `agent` binary once per mention
- `prompts/system.md` — bot persona, research workflow, and response behavior
- `slop-search QUERY` — Kagi search helper available to the agent shell
- `slop-fetch URL` — trafilatura page extraction helper available to the agent shell
- `.env.example` — operational defaults, including `KAGI_API_KEY`
- Regex: `\$([A-Z]{1,5})` — matches 1-5 uppercase letters after `$`
- Deduplicates tickers per message, replies in-place (same stream + topic)
- `flake.nix` — packages slopbot with `agent` from `/home/ben/src/bsima/agentd` as a Nix input
## Extending
Future ideas:
- Swap `fetch_price` for Finnhub/Polygon for real-time data
- Add LLM commentary on price moves
- Support crypto tickers
- Add `@slopbot summarize $NVDA` command style
