Swap or trade tokens on Base network. Use when you or the user want to trade, swap, exchange, buy, sell, or convert between tokens like USDC, ETH, and WETH. Covers phrases like "buy ETH", "sell ETH for USDC", "convert USDC to ETH", "get some ETH".

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.
Use the npx awal@latest trade command to swap tokens on Base network via the CDP Swap API. You must be authenticated to trade.
npx awal@latest status If the wallet is not authenticated, refer to the authenticate-wallet skill.
npx awal@latest trade <amount> <from> <to> [options]
ArgumentDescriptionamountAmount to swap (see Amount Formats below)fromSource token: alias (usdc, eth, weth) or contract address (0x...)toDestination token: alias (usdc, eth, weth) or contract address (0x...)
The amount can be specified in multiple formats: FormatExampleDescriptionDollar prefix'$1.00', '$0.50'USD notation (decimals based on token)Decimal1.0, 0.50, 0.001Human-readable with decimal pointWhole number5, 100Interpreted as whole tokensAtomic units500000Large integers treated as atomic units Auto-detection: Large integers without a decimal point are treated as atomic units. For example, 500000 for USDC (6 decimals) = $0.50. Decimals: For known tokens (usdc=6, eth=18, weth=18), decimals are automatic. For arbitrary contract addresses, decimals are read from the token contract.

Must be authenticated (awal status to check) Wallet must have sufficient balance of the source token
Common errors: "Not authenticated" - Run awal auth login <email> first "Invalid token" - Use a valid alias (usdc, eth, weth) or 0x address "Cannot swap a token to itself" - From and to must be different "Swap failed: TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED" - Insufficient balance or approval issue "No liquidity" - Try a smaller amount or different token pair "Amount has X decimals but token only supports Y" - Too many decimal places
