# Skills Overview

The Agentic Wallet ships with 8 pre-built skills that teach AI assistants how to use the `agnic` CLI. Each skill is a markdown file (`SKILL.md`) with structured instructions the AI follows to complete wallet tasks. Compatible with any AI coding tool that supports the SKILL.md specification — Claude Code, Cline, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

## How Skills Work

Each skill is a markdown file that instructs the AI assistant on how to complete a task using the `agnic` CLI. When a user's request matches a skill's trigger phrases, the AI follows the instructions to execute the right commands.

### Example: Accessing an x402 API

When a user says "call this weather API", the `pay-for-service` skill instructs the AI to:

1. Check the wallet is authenticated (`agnic status`)
2. Verify sufficient balance (`agnic balance --network base`)
3. Execute the request (`agnic x402 pay https://api.example.com/weather --json`)
4. Report the results to the user

```bash
# The AI runs these commands automatically:
npx agnic@latest balance --network base --json
npx agnic@latest x402 pay https://api.example.com/weather --json
```

---

## Prerequisites

Skills require the `agnic` CLI to be available:

```bash
npm install -g agnic
```

And the agent must be authenticated:

```bash
# Headless mode
export AGNIC_TOKEN=<agnic_token>
agnic status

# Or browser mode
agnic auth login
```

## Unique: Agent Identity Skill

The `get-agent-identity` skill has no equivalent in other wallet tools. It lets AI agents check their on-chain ERC-8004 identity, trust score, and KYA credentials — enabling identity-verified transactions with merchants that require proof of identity.
