What is Coinbase Agentic Wallet Skills?

Coinbase Agentic Wallet Skills is an open-source collection of CLI-based skills that enable AI agents to perform crypto wallet operations. It uses the awal CLI to authenticate users via email OTP, send USDC, trade tokens on Base, and interact with paid API services through the x402 protocol.

How do I install Coinbase Agentic Wallet Skills?

Install using Vercel's Skills CLI with the command: npx skills add coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills. Once installed, skills are automatically available to your agent. All skills require Node v22 or higher.

What chains does Coinbase Agentic Wallet Skills support?

The skills primarily support Ethereum for USDC transfers and Base for token swaps and onchain data queries. Specific skills like send-usdc work with Ethereum addresses and ENS names, while trade and query-onchain-data target Base.

Is Coinbase Agentic Wallet Skills free to use?

Yes, the project is open-source under the MIT license. However, onchain operations incur gas fees, and some features like Coinbase Onramp or paid API services via x402 may involve third-party costs. The awal CLI and skills themselves are free.

How does this compare to Coinbase AgentKit?

Agentic Wallet Skills is a lighter, skill-based CLI approach using the awal tool, while AgentKit is a comprehensive TypeScript framework with built-in MPC wallets and LangChain integration. Choose Skills for quick CLI-based agent operations; choose AgentKit for production applications requiring embedded wallets and broader framework support.
