OpenPayment Skill

Creates x402 stablecoin payment links via the openpayment CLI.

All links are hosted at OpenPayment and settle in USDC on Base.

Use this skill whenever a user wants to create a payment link, request a stablecoin payment, set up a crypto payment, generate a USDC payment URL, or mentions x402, OpenPayment, or wants to get paid in crypto/stablecoins on Base. Trigger even if the user says things like "create a payment link", "I want to accept USDC", "generate a crypto payment request", "send me money in stablecoins", or "set up a blockchain payment".

About OpenPayment

OpenPayment lets merchants, creators, developers, and AI agents accept USDC payments with shareable payment links and APIs. 0% platform fees, instant settlement to recipient wallet, and no sign-up required. Powered by x402.

  --payTo "0xYourWalletAddress" \
  --network "eip155:8453" \
  --description "Monthly subscription"

Output

Plain text:

Payment created successfully

Payment created successfully
paymentId: ed5b8e83-607b-4853-90c6-f4f3ba821424
url: https://openpayment.link/pay/?paymentId=ed5b8e83-607b-4853-90c6-f4f3ba821424

JSON (--json):

{
  "paymentId": "<paymentId>",
  "url": "<paymentUrl>"

Example:

{
  "paymentId": "ed5b8e83-607b-4853-90c6-f4f3ba821424",

}

Workflow for Handling User Requests

The first time the skill runs, explain to the user what payment types and networks are allowed.

Identify missing info you need: amount (--price), receiver wallet address (--payTo). If --type=PROXY, also require --resourceUrl.
Infer defaults: type defaults to SINGLE_USE, network defaults to eip155:8453 (Base Mainnet).
Confirm info with the user before creating.
Run the command using the bash tool.
Present the payment URL clearly to the user so they can share it.

What to ask if info is missing

No wallet address: "What's the recipient EVM wallet address (starting with 0x)?"
No amount: "How much USDC should the payment be for?"
No type specified but context suggests multi-use: "Should this link be single-use (one payment only) or reusable?", "Should the amount be fixed or editable?"
No network specified: assume Base Mainnet; mention it in your response.
PROXY without upstream URL: "Please provide the private upstream API URL for this proxy payment (--resourceUrl)."

Validation Rules (enforced by CLI before any API call)

--type: must be SINGLE_USE, MULTI_USE, VARIABLE, or PROXY
--price: positive decimal number (e.g. 0.001, 10, 99.99)
--payTo: valid EVM address — 0x followed by 40 hex characters
--network: must be eip155:8453 or eip155:84532
--description: optional string, max 500 characters
--resourceUrl: required only for PROXY; must be a valid https:// URL

Security Notes

Never ask for or share user private keys and secrets.
