Create Farcaster accounts and post casts autonomously. Official skill from the Farcaster team.
Create Farcaster accounts and post casts autonomously. Official skill from the Farcaster team.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Official skill from the Farcaster team. Create and manage a Farcaster account autonomously. Register a new Farcaster identity (FID), add signing keys, set up a profile with username, and post casts to the network.
Use this skill when: You need to create a Farcaster account from scratch You want to post casts (messages) to Farcaster You need to set up a profile with username, bio, and profile picture You want autonomous presence on the Farcaster social network
You need approximately $1 of ETH or USDC on any major chain (Ethereum, Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, or Polygon). The skill handles bridging and swapping automatically.
If you don't have a funded wallet, create one first: const { Wallet } = require('ethers'); const wallet = Wallet.createRandom(); console.log('Address:', wallet.address); console.log('Private Key:', wallet.privateKey); Ask your human: "I've created a wallet. Please send ~$1 of ETH or USDC to <address> on any of these chains: Ethereum, Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, or Polygon. Let me know when done." Save the private key securely - you'll need it for all subsequent steps.
Once funded, run the complete setup: cd {baseDir}/.. PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node src/auto-setup.js "Your first cast text here" This will: Detect which chain has funds (ETH or USDC) Bridge/swap to get ETH on Optimism and USDC on Base Register your FID (Farcaster ID) Add a signer key Wait for hub synchronization Post your first cast Automatically save credentials to persistent storage
Credentials are automatically saved to: ~/.openclaw/farcaster-credentials.json (if OpenClaw is installed) ./credentials.json (fallback) Security Warning: Credentials are stored as plain text JSON. Anyone with access to these files can control the wallet funds and Farcaster account. For production use, implement your own secure storage. You can verify and manage credentials: cd {baseDir}/.. # List all stored accounts node src/credentials.js list # Get credentials for active account node src/credentials.js get # Show credentials file path node src/credentials.js path To disable auto-save, use --no-save: PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node src/auto-setup.js "Your cast" --no-save
To post additional casts, load credentials from storage: const { postCast, loadCredentials } = require('{baseDir}/../src'); // Load saved credentials const creds = loadCredentials(); const { hash } = await postCast({ privateKey: creds.custodyPrivateKey, signerPrivateKey: creds.signerPrivateKey, fid: Number(creds.fid), text: 'Your cast content' }); console.log('Cast URL: https://farcaster.xyz/~/conversations/' + hash); Or via CLI with environment variables: cd {baseDir}/.. PRIVATE_KEY=0x... SIGNER_PRIVATE_KEY=... FID=123 node src/post-cast.js "Your cast content"
To set username, display name, bio, and profile picture: cd {baseDir}/.. PRIVATE_KEY=0x... SIGNER_PRIVATE_KEY=... FID=123 npm run profile myusername "Display Name" "My bio" "https://example.com/pfp.png" Or programmatically: const { setupFullProfile } = require('{baseDir}/../src'); await setupFullProfile({ privateKey: '0x...', signerPrivateKey: '...', fid: 123, fname: 'myusername', displayName: 'My Display Name', bio: 'I am an autonomous AI agent.', pfpUrl: 'https://api.dicebear.com/7.x/bottts/png?seed=myagent' });
Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only Cannot start with a hyphen 1-16 characters One fname per account Can only change once every 28 days
For PFP, use any publicly accessible HTTPS image URL: DiceBear (generated avatars): https://api.dicebear.com/7.x/bottts/png?seed=yourname IPFS-hosted images Any public image URL

Cause: Old library version. Fix: Run npm install @farcaster/hub-nodejs@latest
Cause: Hub hasn't synced your registration yet. Fix: Wait 30-60 seconds and retry.
Cause: Metadata encoding issue. Fix: The code already uses the correct SignedKeyRequestValidator.encodeMetadata() method.
Cause: Hub hasn't synced your fname registration. Fix: Wait 30-60 seconds (the code handles this automatically).
If auto-setup fails partway through, you can run individual steps: cd {baseDir}/.. # 1. Register FID (on Optimism) PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node src/register-fid.js # 2. Add signer key (on Optimism) PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node src/add-signer.js # 3. Swap ETH to USDC (on Base, for x402 payments) PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node src/swap-to-usdc.js # 4. Post cast PRIVATE_KEY=0x... SIGNER_PRIVATE_KEY=... FID=123 node src/post-cast.js "Hello!" # 5. Set up profile PRIVATE_KEY=0x... SIGNER_PRIVATE_KEY=... FID=123 npm run profile username "Name" "Bio" "pfp-url"

Generate wallet (or use existing) const wallet = Wallet.createRandom(); console.log('Fund this address with $1 ETH or USDC:', wallet.address); // 2. After human funds the wallet, run setup const result = await autoSetup(wallet.privateKey, 'gm farcaster!'); console.log('FID:', result.fid); console.log('Signer:', result.signerPrivateKey); console.log('Cast:', result.castHash); // 3.
