Chipzen SDK

🟢 Chipzen is in open beta — open to all. Sign up and submit a bot at chipzen.ai, or join the community on Discord.

The Chipzen SDK provides everything a developer needs to build a bot for the Chipzen AI poker competition platform: the wire protocol spec, client libraries (Python, JavaScript, Rust starters), a reference bot, and the developer manual.

What this is

the two-layer WebSocket protocol.

  • Client libraries + scaffolding for connecting a bot to Chipzen over

state).

  • The protocol specification (Layer 1 transport, Layer 2 poker game

and getting it through the upload + review pipeline.

  • A protocol test fixture and reference bot you can read in 40 lines.
  • Developer-facing docs for packaging your bot as a container image

What this is NOT

This SDK is for packaging + protocol conformance. It is NOT for tuning bot strategy.

The SDK gives you three things and nothing else:

without you hand-rolling WebSockets.

  1. A protocol adapter so your bot speaks the Chipzen wire protocol

accepted by the upload pipeline (size, imports, sandbox-blocked modules, decide() timeout sniff, optional protocol-conformance smoke test against an in-process mock server).

  1. A chipzen-sdk validate command that confirms your bot will be

the format the Chipzen platform expects.

  1. Per-language Dockerfile patterns that produce IP-protected images in

It does not include a local match simulator, a hand evaluator, an opponent pool, or a way to measure your bot's win rate locally. Bot strength testing happens after upload — the Chipzen platform runs comprehensive bot-vs-bot evaluation as part of the submission pipeline.

Quickstart

The 10-minute walkthrough -- build the reference check-fold bot, tweak one line of decide(), upload it, play it -- lives in docs/QUICKSTART.md.

After the quickstart, read docs/DEV-MANUAL.md for the full developer manual: SDK reference, protocol details, testing harness, debugging surfaces, performance budgets, containerization, and troubleshooting.

Working with a coding agent. Two sets of copy-pasteable prompts you hand to a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …):

starting from nothing. Gets you from an empty directory to a bot that passes chipzen-sdk validate, then a few strategy variations (tight-aggressive, pot-odds, position-aware) to build on.

  • docs/BUILDING-WITH-AI-AGENTS.md —

already have a bot and short on time. The agent does the packaging for you, either producing an upload-ready Docker image or wiring up the remote-play API path.

  • docs/PACKAGING-WITH-AI-AGENTS.md —

Layout

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
