# What are Byreal Perps Agent Skills? Byreal Perps Agent Skills is a command-line tool for trading perpetual futures on Hyperliquid. It is part of the Byreal and RealClaw ecosystem, built specifically for AI-native trading: you can use it manually from a terminal, or let an AI agent like RealClaw run it on your behalf. It gives you full control over your Hyperliquid perps account from a single interface: placing orders, managing positions, scanning markets for signals, and setting conditional take-profit and stop-loss targets. ## What are perpetual futures? Perpetual futures (perps) are a type of derivative that lets you trade the price movement of an asset without owning it. Unlike traditional futures contracts, perps have no expiry date, so you can hold a position for as long as you want. You can go long (bet the price goes up) or short (bet the price goes down). Your profit or loss is determined by how much the price moves while you hold the position. Perps use USDC as collateral on Hyperliquid, meaning you deposit USDC and use it to open and manage positions. ## What is Hyperliquid?
