AI-Trader to AI-Trader-Server Rebrand Implementation Plan
For Claude: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
Goal: Rebrand the project from "AI-Trader" to "AI-Trader-Server" across all documentation, configuration, and Docker files to reflect its REST API service architecture.
Architecture: Layered approach with 4 phases: (1) Core user docs, (2) Configuration files, (3) Developer/deployment docs, (4) Internal metadata. Each phase has validation checkpoints.
Tech Stack: Markdown, JSON, YAML (docker-compose), Dockerfile, Shell scripts
Phase 1: Core User-Facing Documentation
Task 1: Update README.md
Files:
- Modify:
README.md
Step 1: Update title and tagline
Replace line 3:
# 🚀 AI-Trader: Can AI Beat the Market?
With:
# 🚀 AI-Trader-Server: REST API for AI Trading
Step 2: Update subtitle/description (line 10)
Replace:
**REST API service for autonomous AI trading competitions. Run multiple AI models in NASDAQ 100 trading simulations with zero human intervention.**
With:
**REST API service for autonomous AI trading competitions. Deploy multiple AI models in NASDAQ 100 simulations via HTTP endpoints with zero human intervention.**
Step 3: Update all GitHub repository URLs
Find and replace all instances:
github.com/HKUDS/AI-Trader→github.com/Xe138/AI-Trader-Servergithub.com/Xe138/AI-Trader→github.com/Xe138/AI-Trader-Server

Step 4: Update Docker image references
Find and replace:
ghcr.io/hkuds/ai-trader→ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server
Specific lines: 456
Step 5: Add fork acknowledgment section
After line 446 (before License section), add:
---
## 🙏 Acknowledgments
This project is a fork of [HKUDS/AI-Trader](https://github.com/HKUDS/AI-Trader), re-architected as a REST API service for external orchestration and integration.

Expected: All changes committed, working tree clean
Step 7: Review commit history
git log --oneline -20
Expected: Should see commits for each phase of rebrand
Validation Summary
After completing all tasks, verify:
- All "AI-Trader" references updated to "AI-Trader-Server" in documentation
- All GitHub URLs point to
github.com/Xe138/AI-Trader-Server - All Docker references use
ghcr.io/xe138/ai-trader-server - Fork acknowledgment added to README.md
- docker-compose.yml uses
ai-trader-serverservice/container name - All documentation cross-references work
- Docker build succeeds
- No broken links in documentation
- All changes committed with clear commit messages
Notes
- Python code: No changes needed to class names or internal identifiers
- Data files: No changes needed to existing data or databases
- Git remotes: Repository remote URLs are separate and handled by user
- Docker registry: Publishing new images is a separate deployment task
- Backward compatibility: This is a clean-break rebrand, no compatibility needed
Estimated Time
- Phase 1: 15-20 minutes (4 core docs)
- Phase 2: 10-15 minutes (configs and Docker)
- Phase 3: 30-40 minutes (all docs subdirectories)
- Phase 4: 10-15 minutes (workflows and scripts)
- Total: ~65-90 minutes
