Introduction: Live Demo Walkthrough

A step-by-step guide for demoing the Bullpen CLI on a fresh macOS machine. Every command is pre-filled and ready to copy-paste. Example output is shown below each command.


1. Install

brew install BullpenFi/tap/bullpen

Verify:

bullpen --version
bullpen 0.1.19

2. First-Time Setup

Run the guided wizard — it initializes config, opens login, and checks Polymarket approvals in one flow:

bullpen setup

Or do it manually:

bullpen config init
bullpen login

A code and URL are displayed. Open the URL in your browser, enter the code, and login completes automatically.

Confirm you're logged in:

  Turnkey bundle:   present (decryptable)
  Turnkey org:      present

3. Install AI Agent Skills (Optional)

Install skills so Claude Code or Codex CLI can trade on your behalf through natural language:

bullpen skill install
Installed 8 skill files to /Users/you/.claude/skills/bullpen-cli
Installed 2 skill files to /Users/you/.claude/skills/bullpen-bracket

After installing, restart Claude Code or Codex CLI. Then just ask:

  • "Buy $10 of Yes on will-bitcoin-hit-100k"
  • "Show me trending crypto prediction markets"
  • "What are my open positions?"

12. JSON Output & Scripting

Every command supports --output json for programmatic use:

bullpen polymarket discover --limit 5 --output json | jq '.events[:2] | .[].title'
"US strikes Iran?"
"Elon Musk tweets February 24 - March 3"
bullpen polymarket positions --output json | jq '.positions[:3] | .[] | {market: .title, outcome, pnl, pnl_pct}'

13. Interactive Shell

Launch the REPL — runs commands without the bullpen prefix:

bullpen shell

Inside the shell:

bullpen> polymarket discover --limit 5
bullpen> polymarket price will-the-fed-decrease-interest-rates-by-25-bps-after-the-march-2026-meeting

Demo Tips

  • --preview on trading commands shows what would happen without executing — great for demos.
  • --output json | jq . on any command to show structured data.
  • bullpen shell feels like a native trading terminal — impressive for live demos.
  • Tab completion: bullpen completion zsh >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc.
  • The Fed March rate market (fed-decision-in-march-885) is a good demo market — high volume, multiple outcomes, active trading.
