TradeMemory Protocol
100Domain knowledge for the Evolution Engine — LLM-powered autonomous strategy discovery from raw OHLCV data. Covers the generate-backtest-select-evolve loop, vectorized backtesting, out-of-sample validation, and strategy graduation. Use when discovering trading patterns, running backtests, evolving strategies, or reviewing evolution logs. Triggers on "evolve", "discover patterns", "backtest", "evolution", "strategy generation", "candidate strategy".
Image Transformation API
100Transform images with resize, crop, smart crop, upscale, remove background, and 20+ operations.
Find Cybersecurity Firm
100Use whenever the user wants to find, shortlist, vet, or enrich US cybersecurity firms — pen-testing/red team, security audits, vCISO, SOC 2 readiness, incident response, managed SOC, IAM, cloud security, and AppSec. Triggers on "find me a pen-testing firm for our SOC 2 audit", "shortlist three vCISO services for our healthcare-tech startup", "we need an incident response retainer", or "pull contact info for these 8 security firm domains", even when described indirectly (we got breached, prepare us for the compliance audit, get us SOC 2 ready). Drives the ServiceGraph API (api.servicegraph.co) — a 100k+ US firm catalog filterable by industry, services, location, size, ratings. Skip in-house security hires, "how do I patch CVE-X" or "configure firewall Y" DIY questions, security-product reviews (CrowdStrike vs SentinelOne, etc.), generic security knowledge questions, consumer/personal security advice, non-US firms, individual freelancers and bug-bounty hunters.
Flight Search
100Search and book flights across 180+ airlines with zero markup — $20–50 cheaper than OTAs. Returns raw airline prices via local connectors (Ryanair, EasyJet, Wizz Air, Southwest, AirAsia, and 175+ more). Use when user asks to "find flights", "search flights", "book a flight", "compare airline prices", "find cheap flights", "fly from X to Y", "find connections", "find layover options", or any flight-related travel query. Do NOT use for hotel-only searches, car rentals, or non-flight travel bookings.
Chat Format
100Format prompts for different LLM providers with chat templates and HNSW-powered context retrieval
Embeddings
99Vector embeddings with HNSW indexing, sql.js persistence, and hyperbolic support. 75x faster with agentic-flow integration. Use when: semantic search, pattern matching, similarity queries, knowledge retrieval. Skip when: exact text matching, simple lookups, no semantic understanding needed.
