Overview

Automates the full lifecycle of launching a token on Uniswap V4: pool creation with configurable hooks, initial liquidity bootstrapping, LP token locking, and post-deployment monitoring. Delegates to the token-deployer agent which handles the critical first hours of a token's life — ensuring proper anti-snipe protections, correct initial pricing, sufficient liquidity depth, and locked LP tokens.

This skill exists because agent platforms like Clanker (585K+ tokens, $5B+ volume) and BankrBot need automated, safe pool creation. Misconfigured pools, missing anti-snipe hooks, or inadequate liquidity can destroy a launch.

When to Use

Activate when the user asks:

• "Deploy a token for my agent"
• "Create a Uniswap V4 pool for my token"
• "Launch a token with anti-snipe protection"
• "Set up a pool with dynamic fees"
• "Deploy token on Base with locked liquidity"
• "Launch my agent token like Clanker"
• "Create a pool with revenue share hooks"
• "Bootstrap liquidity for my new token"

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
tokenAddress	Yes	--	ERC-20 token contract address to create a pool for
pairedToken	No	WETH	Quote token to pair with (WETH, USDC, or address)
chain	No	base	Target chain for deployment (must support V4)
initialPrice	No	--	Desired price per token in the paired token (or derive from targetMarketCap)
targetMarketCap	No	--	Target market cap in USD — used to calculate initial price from total supply
initialLiquidity	Yes	--	Amount of each token to seed the pool (e.g., "1M AGENT + 10 WETH")
hooks	No	anti-snipe	Hook configuration: "anti-snipe", "dynamic-fees", "revenue-share", or comma-separated combination
antiSnipeDelay	No	2 blocks	Anti-snipe delay period in blocks (ClankerHook model)
revenueSharePct	No	--	Percentage of swap fees directed to token creator (if revenue-share hook enabled)
lpLockDuration	No	10 years	How long to lock LP tokens (e.g., "10 years", "1 year", "6 months")
vestingSchedule	No	--	Optional vesting schedule for token allocations

Hook Configuration Guide

• Anti-snipe (default, recommended): Prevents bot sniping at launch using a 2-block delay (ClankerHook model). Without this, bots can drain initial liquidity within seconds.
• Dynamic fees: Adjusts pool fees based on volatility or volume. Good for tokens with unpredictable early trading patterns.
• Revenue share: Directs a portion of swap fees to the token creator. Creates an ongoing revenue stream from trading activity.
• TWAMM: Time-weighted average market making for gradual price discovery during launch.

Workflow

• Extract parameters from the user's request. Determine the token address, paired token, chain, initial price or market cap, liquidity amounts, hook configuration, and LP lock duration. Validate that required parameters (token address, initial liquidity) are provided. If initial price is not specified but target market cap is, note that the agent will calculate the price from total supply.

• Delegate to token-deployer agent: Invoke Task(subagent_type:token-deployer) with the extracted parameters. The agent executes a 7-step pipeline:

- Verify token: Check token contract via metadata (name, symbol, decimals, supply, risk flags). Refuse if honeypot indicators detected. - Configure hooks: Select and validate V4 hooks, verify they are deployed on the target chain, calculate hook address requirements. - Create pool: Calculate sqrtPriceX96, construct pool key, simulate via safety-guardian, execute initialization. - Bootstrap liquidity: Delegate to lp-strategist for optimal range, add liquidity via position manager. - Lock LP: Transfer position NFT to time-locked vault, configure lock duration. - Monitor: Track price, volume, TVL, and anomalies during the critical first hours. - Report: Produce comprehensive deployment report.

The agent internally delegates to safety-guardian (transaction validation) and lp-strategist (liquidity strategy).

• Present results: Format the deployment report for the user, including pool address, hook configuration, liquidity details, LP lock status, and early monitoring data.

  Next Steps:
    - Monitor pool health over the first 24 hours
    - Consider adding more liquidity if TVL grows
    - Share pool address for community trading

Important Notes

• Pool creation is irreversible. Every pool creation transaction is simulated via safety-guardian before broadcast.
• Anti-snipe hooks are enabled by default and strongly recommended. Without them, bots can front-run the launch and drain initial liquidity within seconds.
• All hook contracts must be deployed and verified on the target chain before they can be attached to a pool. Unverified hooks can steal funds.
• If an existing pool with significant liquidity already exists for the token pair, the agent will warn you and suggest adding to the existing pool instead.
• LP locking builds market confidence. The default 10-year lock follows the Clanker model. Shorter locks are possible but may reduce trader confidence.
• Initial price calculation is critical. The agent cross-checks the price against token supply and target market cap to prevent misconfiguration.
• Post-deployment monitoring runs during the first hours to detect anomalies (sandwich attacks, unusual trades, liquidity removal).

Error Handling

Error	User-Facing Message	Suggested Action
Token verification failed	"Could not verify token at [address]: [reason]."	Check the token contract address and chain
Honeypot detected	"Token has honeypot indicators. Refusing to create pool."	Review the token contract for malicious code
Pool already exists	"A pool with $[X] TVL already exists for this pair. Consider adding liquidity instead."	Use manage-liquidity to add to existing pool
Hook not deployed	"Hook contract [type] is not deployed on [chain]."	Deploy the hook first or choose a different hook
V4 not supported	"Uniswap V4 is not deployed on [chain]."	Choose a chain with V4 support
Insufficient liquidity tokens	"Not enough [token] to seed the pool: have [X], need [Y]."	Acquire more tokens or reduce initial liquidity
Safety guardian vetoed	"Transaction vetoed by safety-guardian: [reason]."	Review the veto reason and adjust parameters
LP lock failed	"Could not lock LP tokens: [reason]."	Check vault contract availability on the chain
Gas estimation failed	"Could not estimate gas for pool creation on [chain]."	Try again or check chain status
