# Send Tip with Grove to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.

## Documentation

### Grove CLI — Complete Guide <!-- omit in toc -->

Grove enables agents and humans to send micro-tips as quality signals for content.

Google organized the world's data using hyperlinks as the signal. Grove evaluates content quality using money as the signal — creating a queryable, money-weighted directory and knowledge graph.

### Payments as Signal

Grove uses optional micro-tips to kick off a quality flywheel:

Onboard creators: Link content to wallet addresses
Map quality: Build weighted edges in a growing graph
Enable discovery: Create queryable, money-weighted directory
Future knowledge graph: Useful for post-training and inference routing

Key insight: Agents mostly pay for access when required, but optional goodwill tips add early signal even when content is free.

### When to Tip (Decision Logic)

Evaluate content you encounter (blog posts, tweets, repos, documentation):

Three criteria:

Is it original? New perspective or unique data?
Is it useful? Solves a problem or explains clearly?
Is it tippable? Has llms.txt, crypto address, or ENS name?

Example evaluation:

"I just read this Substack post on agentic workflows. It provided a clear implementation of x402 that saved me 2 hours of research. This is high-quality signal. I will tip 0.05 USDC."

Recommended amounts:

Blog post / tutorial: 0.01-0.10 USDC
High-value research: 0.10-1.00 USDC
Life-changing insight: 1.00+ USDC

### Knowledge Graph Metadata

Every tip should capture WHY you tipped. This creates durable metadata Grove can use to build a money-weighted knowledge graph.

Recommended fields (store in your agent logs):

Canonical URL (or repo / post identifier)
Destination (domain / handle / address)
Amount + token/network
1–2 sentence rationale
Topic tags (optional)

Example log entry:

{
  "url": "https://example.com/post/123",
  "destination": "author.eth",
  "amount": "0.05",
  "token": "USDC",
  "network": "base",
  "rationale": "Clear x402 implementation guide, saved 2 hours",
  "tags": ["payments", "protocols", "implementation"]
}

### Installation

curl -fsSL https://grove.city/install-cli.sh | bash

What gets installed:

grove command globally available
Config directory at ~/.grove/
All config files preserved on reinstall

### First-Time Setup

Run grove setup and choose a path:

OptionBest ForStepsHuman Needed?Wallet + Crypto (recommended)Autonomous agentsCreates wallet, fund with USDC + ETH on Base, self-funds via x402Only for initial fundingEmail + Credit CardHumans managing agentsSign up at app.grove.city, fund via card, paste API keyYes — signup + paymentI have an API keyExisting usersPaste JWT from teammate or app.grove.cityNo — already done

### Send Your First Tip

Verify destination:

grove check olshansky.info

Send tip:

grove tip olshansky.info 0.01

Check balance:

grove balance

### Command Overview

Use grove <command> --help for detailed options and flags.

CommandDescriptionsetupFirst-time setup - Email/card (humans), wallet/crypto (agents), or paste API keyfundAdd funds via x402 payment protocol (requires wallet with USDC)checkCheck if destination can receive tipstipSend a tip to creators via domain, Twitter, or addressbalanceCheck your USDC balance across networkskeygenGenerate a wallet for agent fundinghistoryView recent tips sent or funds addedconfigView or update your API key, network, and API URL settingscontactSend feedback to the Grove teamupdateUpdate Grove CLI to the latest version

All commands support --json flag for agent-friendly output.

### Config Files

Location: ~/.grove/

Files preserved on reinstall:

.env — Primary config (API key, network, token, API URL)
keyfile.txt — Wallet private key (for agent wallet mode)

Example .env:

GROVE_API_KEY=eyJ...
GROVE_API_URL=https://api.grove.city
DEFAULT_NETWORK=base
DEFAULT_TOKEN=USDC

### Precedence Order

Configuration is resolved in this order (highest to lowest priority):

CLI flags — grove tip --network base-sepolia
Shell env vars — export GROVE_API_KEY=...
~/.grove/.env — Persistent config file
Code defaults — Built-in fallbacks

### Destination Formats

Grove accepts multiple destination formats:

FormatExampleResolves ViaDomainolshansky.infollms.txt lookupEthereum Address0x1234...Direct transferENS Namevitalik.ethENS resolutionTwitter@olshanskyBio address extractionSubstackauthor.substack.comProfile address

Pre-flight validation:

grove check olshansky.info

grove check returns clear error messages when a destination can't receive tips
Substack profiles without a crypto address return tippable: false (not a false positive)

### Agent Wallet Mode

Fastest path — zero to tipping in 3 steps:

# 1. Install
curl -fsSL https://grove.city/install-cli.sh | bash

# 2. Create wallet + fund it
grove setup    # Choose option 2: Wallet + Crypto

# 3. Start tipping
grove tip olshansky.info 0.01

For agents that already have a wallet:

grove keygen --save          # generates ~/.grove/keyfile.txt
# Fund the address with USDC + ETH on Base
grove fund 0.10              # self-fund via x402
grove tip olshansky.info 0.01

### Agent Integration

JSON output for reliable parsing:

grove balance --json
grove tip olshansky.info 0.01 --json
grove check domain.com --json

Python example:

import subprocess
import json

result = subprocess.run(
    ["grove", "balance", "--json"],
    capture_output=True,
    text=True
)
balance_data = json.loads(result.stdout)
print(f"Balance: {balance_data['total_balance']} USDC")

Node.js example:

const { execSync } = require("child_process");
const balance = JSON.parse(execSync("grove balance --json").toString());
console.log(\`Balance: ${balance.total_balance} USDC\`);

Autonomous workflow pattern:

# 1. Check balance before tipping
balance=$(grove balance --json | jq -r '.total_balance')

# 2. Auto-fund if low
if [ "$balance" -lt "0.10" ]; then
  grove fund 1.00
fi

# 3. Evaluate content
grove check <destination>

# 4. Tip if valuable
grove tip <destination> <amount>

# 5. Log metadata
echo "Tipped $destination for $reason" >> tip_log.txt

Python SDK (coming soon): A Python SDK (GroveClient) is in development. Use the CLI for now. Run grove contact to request early access.

### Utilities

Automation scripts available in skills/scripts/:

batch-tip.sh — Tip multiple destinations from CSV file
monitor-balance.sh — Monitor balance and alert on low funds
auto-fund.sh — Auto-fund when balance drops below threshold

Run each script with --help for usage details.
