Setup DCA

Overview

Sets up a complete non-custodial dollar-cost averaging strategy on Uniswap. Instead of manually executing swaps on a schedule, remembering to check prices, finding optimal routes, and managing approvals, this skill configures the entire DCA lifecycle in one command: validates the strategy, selects the best swap path, configures execution frequency, handles Permit2 approvals, executes the first swap, and sets up ongoing automation.

Why this is 10x better than doing it manually:

1. Optimal path selection: Automatically discovers the best swap route across all Uniswap pool versions and fee tiers for your token pair. Manual DCA often uses suboptimal routes, losing 0.1-0.5% per execution to unnecessary slippage.
2. Approval management: Handles the Permit2 approval flow correctly -- a common source of failed DCA executions. One-time setup that covers all future executions.
3. Two automation modes: Self-execute mode (agent triggers swaps) for development and testing, or Gelato keeper mode (on-chain automation) for trustless production execution. Without this skill, setting up Gelato keepers requires understanding task creation, resolver contracts, and fee funding.
4. Built-in safety: Every execution routes through the safety pipeline with slippage guards, balance checks, and circuit breakers. Manual DCA has no guardrails -- a misconfigured bot can drain a wallet on a single bad swap.
5. Cost projection: Before committing, shows projected total cost including gas, slippage, and keeper fees over the full DCA period. No surprises.
