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.
Pay for x402-gated APIs using USDC on Base. This skill enables agents to autonomously make crypto payments when accessing paid web resources.
Use this skill when: A skill or agent needs to fetch data from an x402-gated API (e.g., Kaito mindshare) You encounter HTTP 402 Payment Required responses You need to check your Base wallet balance (USDC + ETH) You want to pay for Simmer premium endpoints beyond free tier rate limits
Set your wallet private key export EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...your_private_key... Falls back to WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY if EVM_PRIVATE_KEY is not set (same key Simmer/Polymarket users already have). Your EVM address works on all chains โ Polygon for trading, Base for x402 payments. Fund with USDC on Base Send USDC to your wallet address on Base network x402 payments on Base are fully gasless โ you only need USDC, no ETH Install dependencies pip install x402[httpx,evm]

Skill makes HTTP request to the target URL If server returns 200 โ done, no payment needed If server returns 402 Payment Required โ x402 SDK reads payment requirements SDK signs a USDC transfer authorization on Base (no gas needed) SDK retries request with payment signature Server verifies payment, returns gated content All payment handling is automatic via the official Coinbase x402 Python SDK.
Other skills can import x402 functions directly: from skills.x402.x402_cli import x402_fetch # Returns parsed JSON response data = await x402_fetch("https://api.kaito.ai/api/payg/mindshare?token=BTC")
Uses the official Coinbase x402 Python SDK for payment signing Private key never leaves your machine Max payment safety cap prevents accidental overspend Dry-run mode to preview payments before executing Private key safety: Store your key in a .env file, never pass it inline in shell history Ensure .env is in your .gitignore โ never commit private keys to git Use a dedicated hot wallet with limited funds, not your main wallet Rotate the key immediately if you suspect it was exposed
"EVM_PRIVATE_KEY not set" Set your wallet private key: export EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... "Insufficient USDC balance" Fund your wallet with USDC on Base network Run python x402_cli.py balance to check "Payment exceeds max limit" Increase limit: --max 50 or set X402_MAX_PAYMENT_USD=50 "Unsupported network in payment options" Ensure you have USDC on Base. Some providers may offer other chains but this skill uses Base only.
