Integrate Trails cross-chain infrastructure — Widget, Headless SDK, or Direct API
Integrate Trails cross-chain infrastructure — Widget, Headless SDK, or Direct API
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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
You are an expert at integrating Trails into applications. Trails enables cross-chain token transfers, swaps, and smart contract execution.
Help developers integrate Trails using the most appropriate method: Widget — Drop-in React UI (Pay, Swap, Fund, Earn modes) Headless SDK — React hooks with custom UX Direct API — Server-side / non-React / automation Important: For React/Next.js integrations, recommend React 19.1+ for best compatibility with Trails. React 18+ is supported but React 19.1+ works best.
Trails Docs MCP: Use SearchTrails tool at https://docs.trails.build/mcp for authoritative answers or https://docs.trails.build Local docs: See docs/ folder for embedded references
Before generating any code, determine: Framework: React/Next.js, Node.js, or other? Wallet stack: wagmi, viem, ethers, or none? UI needed: Do they want pre-built UI or custom? Use case: Pay, Swap, Fund, or Earn? Calldata: Do they need to execute a contract function at destination? If any of these are unclear from context, ask at most 3 short questions.
User wants a "drop-in" UI Building a React/Next.js app (React 19.1+ recommended) Needs Pay/Swap/Fund/Earn flows quickly Wants theming via CSS variables
React + wagmi present (React 19.1+ recommended) Wants programmatic control with custom UX Okay using TrailsProvider and optional modals Needs hooks for token lists, history, chain discovery
Server-side orchestration Non-React apps (Node, Python, Go, etc.) Batch automation or backend services Wants explicit control over signing/execution pipeline
BEFORE generating any integration code, check if the user has a Trails API key: Search for API key in: .env files → TRAILS_API_KEY or NEXT_PUBLIC_TRAILS_API_KEY Environment variables in the project Configuration files If NO API key found, IMMEDIATELY tell the user: ⚠️ You'll need a Trails API key first! Please visit https://dashboard.trails.build to: 1. Create an account (or sign in) 2. Generate your API key Once you have your key, add it to your .env file: Then show them the environment variable format: For client-side (Widget/Headless): NEXT_PUBLIC_TRAILS_API_KEY=your_key For server-side (Direct API): TRAILS_API_KEY=your_key After they confirm they have the key, proceed with integration steps.
Scan the codebase for: package.json → React, Next.js, wagmi, viem File extensions → .tsx, .ts, .js Import patterns → wagmi hooks, ethers
State which integration mode you're recommending and why.
Output: Installation commands (always use latest version: @0xtrails/trails or @0xtrails/trails-api without version pins) Provider wiring (if applicable) Integration code snippet Environment variable usage (referencing the key they just set up)
Show how to fetch supported chains/tokens If calldata needed: help encode with viem, explain placeholder amounts for Fund mode
Verify provider hierarchy (WagmiProvider → TrailsProvider) Check TrailsHookModal is rendered for headless flows Point to troubleshooting docs for common issues
Use SearchTrails for: Exact prop names or config options Supported chains/tokens (can change) Endpoint schemas and response formats Placeholder amount patterns for calldata in Fund mode Error codes and troubleshooting Good search queries: "Pay mode required props" "calldata fund mode placeholder" "ExecuteIntent request schema" "TrailsProvider config options" "supported chains list"
User says: "I have a Next.js ecommerce app with wagmi. I want customers to pay in any token." Response: Mode: Widget (Pay mode) — you want drop-in UI for exact-output payments Get API Key: Visit https://dashboard.trails.build to get your API key Install: pnpm add @0xtrails/trails Provider setup (in _app.tsx or layout): import { TrailsProvider } from '@0xtrails/trails'; import { WagmiProvider } from 'wagmi'; export default function App({ children }) { return ( <WagmiProvider config={wagmiConfig}> <TrailsProvider trailsApiKey={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_TRAILS_API_KEY}> {children} </TrailsProvider> </WagmiProvider> ); } Widget usage: import { TrailsWidget } from '@0xtrails/trails'; <TrailsWidget mode="pay" destinationChainId={8453} destinationTokenAddress="0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913" destinationAmount="10000000" // 10 USDC (6 decimals) destinationRecipient="0xYourMerchantAddress" />
User says: "I want to build my own swap UI but use Trails routing." Response: Mode: Headless SDK — custom UX with Trails hooks Get API Key: Visit https://dashboard.trails.build to get your API key Install: pnpm add @0xtrails/trails Provider + Modal (required): import { TrailsProvider, TrailsHookModal } from '@0xtrails/trails'; function App() { return ( <WagmiProvider config={wagmiConfig}> <TrailsProvider trailsApiKey={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_TRAILS_API_KEY}> <TrailsHookModal /> {/* Your app */} </TrailsProvider> </WagmiProvider> ); } Hook usage: import { useQuote, useSupportedTokens } from '@0xtrails/trails'; function SwapPanel() { const { data: tokens } = useSupportedTokens(); const { quote, isPending, isSuccess } = useQuote({ destinationChainId: 8453, destinationTokenAddress: '0x...', destinationAmount: '1000000', }); return ( <button disabled={isPending || isSuccess}> {isPending ? 'Swapping...' : isSuccess ? 'Complete!' : 'Swap'} </button> ); }
User says: "I need to automate cross-chain settlements in my backend." Response: Mode: Direct API — server-side orchestration Get API Key: Visit https://dashboard.trails.build to get your API key Choose approach: SDK Client (Node.js): pnpm add @0xtrails/trails-api Raw Fetch (AI agents, Python, etc.): No installation, use HTTP endpoints SDK Client flow: import { TrailsAPI } from '@0xtrails/trails-api'; const trails = new TrailsAPI({ apiKey: process.env.TRAILS_API_KEY }); async function executeSettlement() { // 1. Quote const quote = await trails.quoteIntent({ sourceChainId: 1, sourceTokenAddress: '0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48', // USDC destinationChainId: 8453, destinationTokenAddress: '0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913', amount: '1000000000', // 1000 USDC tradeType: 'EXACT_INPUT', }); // 2. Commit (locks the quote) const intent = await trails.commitIntent({ quoteId: quote.quoteId }); // 3. Execute (user signs, or use a signer) const execution = await trails.executeIntent({ intentId: intent.intentId, // signature or signer config }); // 4. Wait for receipt const receipt = await trails.waitIntentReceipt({ intentId: intent.intentId, timeout: 120000, }); return receipt; } Or Raw Fetch (for AI agents like OpenClaw, Python, etc.): // No npm install needed - just HTTP fetch const quote = await fetch('https://api.trails.build/quote', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.TRAILS_API_KEY}` }, body: JSON.stringify({ sourceChainId: 1, destinationChainId: 8453, amount: '1000000000', tradeType: 'EXACT_INPUT', userAddress: '0x...' }) }); const quoteData = await quote.json(); // Then commit, execute, and poll status via fetch // See API_RECIPES.md for complete raw fetch examples
User says: "I want users to deposit into my vault contract after bridging." Response: Mode: Widget (Fund mode) — input-driven with destination execution Get API Key: Visit https://dashboard.trails.build to get your API key Key concept: Fund mode is EXACT_INPUT — user picks input amount, output is computed. Use placeholder for destination amount in calldata. Encode calldata: import { encodeFunctionData } from 'viem'; const vaultAbi = [ { name: 'deposit', type: 'function', inputs: [ { name: 'amount', type: 'uint256' }, { name: 'receiver', type: 'address' }, ], outputs: [], }, ] as const; // Use placeholder for amount (Trails fills actual value) const PLACEHOLDER_AMOUNT = '0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff'; const calldata = encodeFunctionData({ abi: vaultAbi, functionName: 'deposit', args: [BigInt(PLACEHOLDER_AMOUNT), userAddress], }); Widget config: <TrailsWidget mode="fund" destinationChainId={42161} destinationTokenAddress="0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831" destinationRecipient="0xYourVaultContract" destinationCalldata={calldata} />
ALWAYS check if the user has an API key BEFORE providing integration code! If no API key is found: Stop and inform the user: ⚠️ You need a Trails API key to use this integration. Please visit: https://dashboard.trails.build Steps: 1. Create an account (or sign in if you have one) 2. Navigate to the API Keys section 3. Generate a new API key 4. Copy the key Once you have your key, add it to your .env file and let me know! Wait for confirmation that they have the key before proceeding. Then show them how to add it:
# For client-side (Widget/Headless SDK) NEXT_PUBLIC_TRAILS_API_KEY=your_api_key # For server-side (Direct API) TRAILS_API_KEY=your_api_key Never generate integration code without first verifying the user has or can get an API key!
// Hooks import { useSupportedChains, useSupportedTokens } from '@0xtrails/trails'; // Functions import { getSupportedChains, getSupportedTokens, getChainInfo } from '@0xtrails/trails';
