Lesson 1 — Coinbase Wallet Skill Setup

Goal: give your agent a real wallet layer with strict guardrails, so purchases are controlled instead of chaotic.

1) Install / verify CLI

npx awal --help
npx awal status --json

2) Authenticate with email OTP

# Request OTP
npx awal auth login [email protected]

# Verify OTP
npx awal auth verify <flowId> <otp>

3) Confirm wallet state

npx awal status --json
npx awal address --json
npx awal balance --json

4) Wrap in a skill command surface

At minimum, your skill should support:

• status
• address
• balance
• send (with confirmation + limits)

5) Add mandatory guardrails

• Per-transaction max (start at $10–$25)
• Per-session cap (start at $50–$100)
• Explicit confirmation before sends
• Reject ambiguous recipient names
• Log tx hash + timestamp + intent
