## Overview

This repository snapshot contains no application source files, so the architecture below reflects the README’s documented workflow rather than verified module-level calls. The README describes a TypeScript bot, while requirements.txt lists Python dependencies; the implementation language and actual wiring therefore remain unverified.

Main entry points: [`.env.example`](https://github.com/asarchitects/kalshi-trade-bot/blob/main/.env.example) (Trading configuration)
