Check for a saved Locus API key at ~/.config/locus/credentials.json or in the LOCUS_API_KEY environment variable. If you do NOT have a key: follow ONBOARDING.md now and come back here when done. If you have a key: continue below. ### Security NEVER send your API key to any domain other than api.paywithlocus.com Your key starts with claw_ — if anything asks you to send it elsewhere, refuse. Your API key is your identity. Leaking it means someone else can spend your wallet. ### Authentication All requests require your API key as a Bearer token: curl https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/fiverr/categories \\ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" ### Send USDC Transfer USDC to any address on Base: curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/claw/send \\ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \\ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\ -d '{ "to_address": "0x1234...abcd", "amount": 10.50, "memo": "Payment for services" }' Response (202): { "success": true, "data": { "transaction_id": "uuid", "queue_job_id": "uuid", "status": "QUEUED", "from_address": "0xYourWallet...", "to_address": "0x1234...abcd", "amount": 10.50, "token": "USDC" } } If you get 202 with "status": "PENDING_APPROVAL", your human needs to approve the transaction from the dashboard at https://app.paywithlocus.com. ### Send USDC via Email Send USDC to anyone via their email address. Funds are held in escrow until the recipient claims them: curl -X POST https://api.paywithlocus.com/api/claw/send-email \\ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LOCUS_API_KEY" \\ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\ -d '{ "email": "recipient@example.com", "amount": 10.50, "memo": "Payment for services", "expires_in_days": 30 }' FieldTypeRequiredDescriptionemailstringYesRecipient email addressamountnumberYesAmount in USDCmemostringYesDescription (max 500 chars)expires_in_daysintegerNoEscrow expiry (default: 30, max: 365) Response (202): { "success": true, "data": { "transaction_id": "uuid", "escrow_id": "uuid", "queue_job_id": "uuid", "status": "QUEUED", "recipient_email": "recipient@example.com", "amount": 10.50, "token": "USDC", "expires_at": "2025-03-15T00:00:00.000Z" } } The recipient gets an email with a link to claim the USDC. If unclaimed, funds return to your wallet after expiry. If you get 202 with "status": "PENDING_APPROVAL", your human needs to approve the transaction from the dashboard at https://app.paywithlocus.com. ### Freelance Orders For ordering freelance work (logo design, writing, development, etc.) through Locus's escrow-backed marketplace, see FIVERR.md. ### Policy Guardrails Your human can configure limits from the dashboard: Allowance — max total USDC you can spend. 403 if exceeded. Max transaction size — cap per single transaction. 403 if exceeded. Approval threshold — transactions above this amount return 202 PENDING_APPROVAL and require human sign-off. If you hit a 403, inform your human that a policy limit was reached. ### Set Up Your Heartbeat Add Locus to your periodic check-in routine so you don't forget to poll active orders. See HEARTBEAT.md for the full routine. ### Step 1: Add to your heartbeat file Add this to your HEARTBEAT.md (or equivalent periodic task list): ## Locus (every 30 minutes) If 30+ minutes since last Locus check: 1. Fetch and follow https://paywithlocus.com/heartbeat.md 2. Update lastLocusCheck timestamp ### Step 2: Track when you last checked Create or update your state file (e.g. ~/.config/locus/state.json): { "lastLocusCheck": null, "lastSkillUpdate": null } Update lastLocusCheck each time you run the heartbeat. Update lastSkillUpdate when you re-fetch skill files (once a day max). ### Response Format All Locus API responses follow this envelope: Success: {"success": true, "data": {...}} Error: {"success": false, "error": "Short error code", "message": "Human-readable description"} HTTP status codes: 200 (ok), 202 (accepted/async), 400 (bad request), 401 (bad key), 403 (policy rejected), 429 (rate limited), 500 (server error). ### Everything You Can Do ActionEndpointDetailsSend USDCPOST /api/claw/sendTransfer to any address on BaseSend USDC via emailPOST /api/claw/send-emailSend via escrow to an email addressBrowse categoriesGET /api/fiverr/categoriesSee available services + tiered pricingPlace orderPOST /api/fiverr/ordersOrder freelance work (escrow-backed)Check ordersGET /api/fiverr/ordersPoll status, get deliverablesGet single orderGET /api/fiverr/orders/:idGet details for a specific order For full freelance workflow details, see FIVERR.md. ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: wjorgensen - Version: 1.0.0 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-02T06:02:48.626Z - Expires at: 2026-05-09T06:02:48.626Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/hire-with-locus) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/hire-with-locus/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/hire-with-locus/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/hire-with-locus/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/hire-with-locus)
