skill-pay
Add credit-based payments to any OpenClaw skill. Register paid skills, charge users per call, track earnings, and withdraw USDC. Use when a user wants to monetize a skill, set up payments for agent services, check credit balances, register as a builder, or integrate pay-per-use into their agent workflow.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adjusternwachukwu-bot/skill-payWhat This Skill Does
SkillPay is a foundational payment infrastructure designed specifically for the OpenClaw ecosystem. It transforms any AI skill into a monetizable asset by implementing a robust credit-based transaction model. By acting as an intermediary between users and service builders, it ensures that developers can be fairly compensated for the computational resources and intelligence provided by their agents. The system utilizes a credit-based ledger where 1 USDC equates to 1 credit, allowing for precise tracking of service usage. Builders can define specific pricing for their skills, while users maintain a balance to pay for each individual call executed by the AI agent. The platform handles the complexity of API keys, balance validation, and earnings management, providing a turnkey solution for the growing agent economy. With a transparent 2.5% platform fee, it offers a sustainable model for both hobbyists and professional developers looking to scale their AI-driven service offerings.
Installation
To integrate SkillPay into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adjusternwachukwu-bot/skill-pay
Ensure that you have your development environment configured correctly. Once installed, follow the builder registration process outlined in the documentation to receive your unique sp_bld_... key. For users wishing to access premium skills, use the /user/register endpoint to secure your personal sp_usr_... credential. Detailed integration requires including the charge_user function within your custom skill source code to verify payment status before proceeding with execution.
Use Cases
SkillPay is essential for any project involving monetized AI services. Primary use cases include:
- SaaS-style Agent Services: Offering specialized data processing or code generation where users pay per query.
- Premium AI Plugins: Enabling developers to lock specific advanced functionality behind a credit wall.
- Usage-Based Metering: Implementing fair-use policies by charging users based on the number of tokens or processing cycles consumed.
- Developer Ecosystems: Allowing builders to sell access to proprietary tools or private datasets through the OpenClaw marketplace.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, register my new agent as a builder on SkillPay so I can start monetizing my translation module."
- "Check my current credit balance for the OpenClaw marketplace and deposit 50 USDC to ensure I can continue using premium research agents."
- "List all available paid skills currently registered on the network and show me their individual pricing in credits."
Tips & Limitations
- Security: Always handle your API keys (
sp_usr_...andsp_bld_...) with extreme care; never hardcode them in public repositories. - Credit Management: Users should monitor their balance frequently, as calls will fail with a 402 error if sufficient credits are not present.
- Transaction Fees: Remember that the platform takes a 2.5% fee; calculate your profit margins accordingly when setting your skill price.
- Scalability: The system is designed for high-frequency calls, but verify your network latency to the API base during high-load periods.
