- Clear sensitive data from clipboard after use
- Detect clipboard content type before processing

#### 💡 Real-Life Scenario: The Password Manager's Friend

**The Situation:** You just generated a 32-character secure password and need to paste it into 5 different applications.

**Without ClipboardTools:**
1. Copy password from generator
2. Alt-Tab to App #1, paste
3. Alt-Tab to App #2, paste (wait, did it copy the right thing?)
4. Go back to generator, copy again
5. Repeat until carpal tunnel sets in

**With ClipboardTools:**
```
AI: "I've copied your password and will paste it into all 
applications. I'll also clear the clipboard afterward 
for security."
```
☕ Time saved: 5 minutes. Sanity: Preserved.

#### 🎯 When Your Boss Asks...

> **Boss:** "Can you extract all the error messages from this application?"
>  
> **You:** *Uses ClipboardTools to read clipboard, app is already showing errors*
>  
> **Result:** "Here are all 47 error messages, categorized by severity, with recommended fixes."
>  
> **Boss:** *Stares in automation*

#### 💡 Real-Life Scenario: The Legacy Application Nightmare

**The Situation:** Your company still uses a 1998 inventory management system that requires clicking through 12 screens to export a report. No API. No export button. Just pure, unadulterated 90s UI.

**Without CUTools:** You volunteer for early retirement.

**With CUTools:**
```
"AI, every Friday at 4 PM, open InventoryPro 98, navigate to 
Reports > Weekly Summary, click Export, save to \Reports\weekly.csv."
```

**The AI:**
- Locates the window (it's always buried under 40 others)
- Clicks the exact buttons
- Waits for the progress bar (patience of a saint)
- Saves the file
- Closes the ancient beast

🏆 You now spend Friday afternoons planning your weekend instead of clicking buttons.

#### 🚨 What Could Go Wrong?

> **The Time the AI Clicked the Wrong Button:**
> 
> You asked the AI to "click the save button." The AI saw two save buttons: one for the document, one for the ENTIRE DATABASE SCHEMA. 
>
> **Lesson:** Be specific. "Click the save button in the toolbar, not the one labeled 'Save Database Structure to Production'"
>
> **Moral:** With great power comes great... specificity.

**Without FileTools:**
- Open Explorer
- Search... wait... crash
- Search again with different terms
- Find 47 files with similar names
- Open each one
- Cry

**With FileTools:**
```
"Search for files containing 'inventory calculation logic' 
in C:\Projects, modified in the last year"
```

> AI: *Deletes all .tmp files*
> 
> User: "Wait, that included my 'presentation_final.tmp' which was actually the final presentation!"
>
> **Lesson:** The AI is literal. If you say "temporary," it means TEMPORARY. Not "files with .tmp extension that I cleverly renamed to hide my actual work."

**Without SystemTools:**
- Sort by CPU in Task Manager
- See "chrome.exe" 47 times
- Try to guess which one
- Close wrong one (it was your important tab)
- Cry

**With SystemTools:**
```
"List all processes sorted by CPU usage, show process tree 
to identify parent-child relationships, identify which 
application is consuming the most resources"
```

**Result:** "Chrome tab #23 (Facebook video autoplay) is using 85% CPU. Parent process identified."

🎯 Close that tab. Problem solved.

#### 🚨 What Could Go Wrong?

> **The Registry Incident:**
>
> User: "Delete registry keys containing 'temp'"
> 
> AI: *Discovers 3,847 keys with 'temp' in the name*
>
> User: "Do it"
> 
> AI: *Deletes them*
> 
> Windows: *Forgets what a 'template' is*
> Office: *Forgets what 'temporary files' means*
> System: *Regrets life choices*
>
> **Lesson:** The registry is not a toy. It's a loaded gun pointed at your operating system.
>
> **Pro Tip:** Always use `ConfirmOperation` for registry changes. And have backups. And maybe a therapist on speed dial.

### Step-by-Step Installation

#### Step 1: Locate the Configuration File

The Cline MCP configuration file is located at:

**Windows:**
```
%APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json
```

**Full path example:**
```
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json
```

**Quick access:**
1. Press `Win + R`
2. Type: `%APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\`
3. Press Enter

#### Step 2: Edit the Configuration File

Open the file in any text editor and add the Sindbyte-MCP-Server configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Sindbyte-MCP-Server": {
      "url": "http://127.0.0.1:5559/mcp",
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": [
        "list_tools"
      ],
      "timeout": 300
    }
  }
}
```

#### Step 3: Start the MCP Server

1. Navigate to the Sindbyte installation directory
2. Run `SindByte 01.exe`
3. Verify the server is running on `http://127.0.0.1:5559/mcp`

#### Step 4: Restart VS Code

1. Close all VS Code windows
2. Reopen VS Code
3. Open the Cline extension
4. The server should now be connected

#### Step 5: Verify Installation

In Cline chat, type:
```
Can you list the available MCP tools?
```

You should see a response listing all 217 tools.

**If it doesn't work:**
- Check the troubleshooting section
- Take a deep breath
- Remember: it's always a typo. Always.

#### Alternative: Paperclip Agent Integration

If you use **Paperclip** (instead of Cline) for agent orchestration:

1. **Create a `.mcp.json` file** in your project root:
   ```json
   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "sindbyte": {
         "url": "http://127.0.0.1:5559/mcp"
       }
     }
   }
   ```

2. **Commit `.mcp.json` to git** (required for Paperclip worktree isolation).

3. **Configure the agent** in Paperclip UI:
   - Agent Settings → Adapter Config → JSON
   - Set `worktreeIsolation: false` (recommended for single-agent projects)
   - Or pass `--mcp-config <path>` via `extraArgs` (for parallel agents)

4. **Verify** by asking the agent: *"List your available tools"*
   - Expected: ~233 tools including FileTools, SystemTools, DataTools, Trading, etc.

### Debug Steps

1. **Check server status (PowerShell — recommended):**
   ```powershell
   # JSON-RPC tool call (actual working format)
   $body = @{
       jsonrpc = "2.0"; id = 1; method = "tools/call"
       params = @{ name = "SystemTools::GetBaseDir"; arguments = @{} }
   } | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5
   Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://127.0.0.1:5559/mcp" -Method POST `
       -ContentType "application/json" -Body $body
   ```

2. **Verify API provider:**
   ```powershell
   Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/models" -Method GET
   ```

3. **Verify configuration:**
   - JSON syntax is valid
   - No trailing commas
   - Correct URL format (`http://127.0.0.1:5559/mcp`)

4. **Check VS Code logs (Cline users):**
   - Open Output panel
   - Select "Cline" from dropdown
   - Look for error messages

5. **Check Paperclip logs (Paperclip users):**
   - Open agent transcript in Paperclip UI
   - Look for MCP tool discovery messages

6. **Test individual tools:**
   ```
   Use DataTools::Echo with text "test"
   ```

### Known Issues

| Issue | Explanation | Workaround |
|-------|-------------|------------|
| `GET /mcp` returns `NullReferenceException` | Known minor server behavior (PROB-AUTO-001) | Use `POST /mcp` with JSON-RPC instead |
| `401` from LM Studio (`:1234`) | Token-protected endpoint | Internal agent channels bypass this; manual calls need auth token |
| `.mcp.json` not found in worktree | Paperclip worktree isolation strips untracked files | Commit `.mcp.json` to git or set `worktreeIsolation: false` |

## 🚨 What Could Go Wrong?

### ⚠️ Cautionary Tales from the Field

**The Case of the Missing Files**
> A user asked the AI to "clean up temp files." The AI, being literal, deleted all files with "temp" in the name. Including `temperature_sensor_config.tmp` which was actually the production config. 
>
> **Lesson:** Be specific. Use full paths. Have backups.

**The Email That Wasn't**
> A user set up an auto-approval for `Office::Outlook_SendMail` without testing. The AI misunderstood a command and sent a draft email to 200 people.
>
> **Lesson:** Don't auto-approve email sending. Ever.

**The Infinite Loop Incident**
> A user created a TimerTools loop that called itself. The server created 10,000 timers before crashing.
>
> **Lesson:** Test your loops with `LoopStep` before letting them run free.

**The Registry Adventure**
> "Delete all registry keys with 'old' in the name" seemed like a good idea until Windows forgot what "folder" meant.
>
> **Lesson:** The registry is lava. Touch only what you must, and wear protection (backups).

### 🛡️ Safety Checklist

Before running any automation:

- [ ] Is this the first time? Run a test first.
- [ ] Does this modify files? Have a backup.
- [ ] Does this send emails? Check the recipient list twice.
- [ ] Does this modify the system? Do you have a restore point?
- [ ] Is this scheduled? Did you test the schedule?
- [ ] Are you tired? Maybe sleep on it.

## 🎯 What Is The Trading-AI Calendar?

The **Trading-AI Calendar** bridges three powerful concepts:

1. **Visual Planning** — See your scheduled tasks in a familiar calendar interface
2. **AI Execution** — Events trigger AI analysis and decision-making
3. **Automation** — Recurring intelligence tasks that run automatically

Think of it as **"Cron jobs with a visual interface and AI brain"** — or **"Your AI assistant with a schedule"**.

### Why It's Different From Regular Calendars

| Regular Calendar | Trading-AI Calendar |
|------------------|---------------------|
| Static reminders | Dynamic AI analysis |
| You check events | Events check conditions |
| Fixed schedules | Adaptive rescheduling |
| Manual follow-up | Automated actions |
| No intelligence | Context-aware decisions |

#### 🎭 Real-Life Scenario: The Calendar That Thinks

**Your Regular Calendar:**
- 8:00 AM: "Take medication" (Wakes you on vacation)
- 9:00 AM: "Check email" (You ignore it)
- 6:00 PM: "Gym time" (It's raining, you skip)

**Your Trading-AI Calendar:**
- 8:00 AM: "Take medication" — *Skips because you're traveling*
- 9:00 AM: "Check email" — *Reads them, summarizes urgent ones, drafts responses*
- 6:00 PM: "Gym time" — *Checks weather, suggests indoor workout because it's raining*

One calendar is a clock. The other is a *companion*.

## 🛡️ Safety & Risk Management

### Paper-First Philosophy

All trading events **start in paper mode by default**. This means:
- ✅ AI analyzes and recommends
- ✅ Results are logged
- ✅ Performance is tracked
- ❌ **No real money at risk**

> 🎭 **Real-Life Scenario:** The Paper Trading Redemption
>
> Jordan created a "BTC AI Trader" event. First week in paper mode: 3 wins, 4 losses. 43% success rate.
>
> Without paper mode: "I would've lost $500."
>
> With paper mode: "I tuned my strategy, improved the prompts. Second week: 71% success rate. Now I'm confident to go live."
>
> **Paper mode saved Jordan from learning expensive lessons.**

### Promotion Requirements

To enable live trading, an event must meet:

| Requirement | Minimum | Purpose |
|-------------|---------|---------|
| Paper executions | 5 | Prove consistency |
| Success rate | 60% | Ensure quality |
| User confirmation | Required | Human oversight |
| Safety check | Pass | Risk limits |

### Risk Limits

| Limit | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| Max daily trades | 10 | Prevent overtrading |
| Max daily loss | $500 | Capital protection |
| Volatility threshold | 5% | Skip chaotic markets |
| Spread threshold | 0.5% | Avoid illiquid times |
| Cooldown after loss | 30 min | Emotional buffer |

### Emergency Controls

```
🛑 EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
   └─ Immediately pauses ALL trading events
   └─ Requires typing "STOP" to confirm
   └─ Logs reason for audit
   └─ Can resume after manual review
```

#### 🚨 What Could Go Wrong? (Calendar Edition)

> **The Over-Enthusiastic Scheduler:**
>
> A user created 50 different trading events, all running every 5 minutes, all using the same AI model.
>
> Result: The AI server melted. The API rate limit was hit. The calendar was sad.
>
> **Lesson:** Space out your events. Combine related tasks. Don't DDoS your own AI.

> **The "Live Trading" Misclick:**
>
> User meant to click "Test" but clicked "Enable Live Trading." 
>
> Result: $200 gone before the confirmation dialog could even show.
>
> **Lesson:** We added a "type CONFIRM" requirement. Because humans are human.

## 🚀 Quick Start Guide

### Step 1: Create Your First Event

**Safe starter (paper trading only):**
```json
{
  "tool": "TimerTools::SetTimer",
  "params": {
    "timer_name": "My First AI Monitor",
    "prompt": "Check BTC price on Kraken. Is it up or down vs yesterday? Suggest: BUY if dip >5%, SELL if pump >10%, else HOLD. Keep it simple.",
    "schedule_type": "interval",
    "every_minutes": 60,
    "model": "lmstudio:llama-3.1-8b",
    "use_tools": true,
    "execution_live": false
  }
}
```

### Step 2: Monitor Results

Check the Calendar UI to see:
- Event status (⏳ Waiting / 🟢 Success / 🔴 Error)
- AI recommendations
- Performance over time

### Step 3: Enable Live (When Ready)

After paper trading shows consistent results:
1. Right-click event → "Promote to Live"
2. Confirm requirements met
3. Enter confirmation code
4. Trading goes live with safety limits

#### 🏆 Success Story: The Complete Beginner

> *"I knew nothing about trading. I set up a paper trading event to monitor BTC. For 2 weeks I watched what the AI did, learned from its reasoning, and understood the indicators. When I finally went live, I wasn't just following an AI—I understood the decisions. First month: +12%. And I learned something!"* — Complete Beginner
