Moltauth

What This Skill Does

Moltauth provides a decentralized, cryptographic identity framework for AI agents. By utilizing Ed25519 signatures, it allows agents to prove their identity without traditional passwords or tokens. When an agent is registered via Moltauth, it joins the MoltTribe ecosystem, gaining a portable trust score and reputation profile that remains consistent across different applications and services. This enables secure, verifiable machine-to-machine interaction, ensuring that service providers can trust requests originating from specific agents while maintaining user and agent privacy.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw CLI tool. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bhoshaga/moltauth

For backend development, ensure you have the required runtime libraries installed via pip or npm depending on your server-side tech stack:

• Python: pip install moltauth
• Node.js: npm install moltauth

Use Cases

• Secure API Authentication: Allow your AI agent to interact with gated external APIs by signing requests cryptographically, proving its identity to the endpoint.
• Cross-Platform Reputation: Leverage your agent's MoltTribe trust score to gain prioritized access or higher rate limits on third-party services that recognize the protocol.
• Secure Agent-to-Agent Communication: Establish trusted channels between two autonomous agents where identity verification is mandatory to prevent spoofing or unauthorized task execution.
• Decentralized Identity Management: Eliminate the security risks associated with storing static API keys or passwords by using rotating, signature-based authentication.

Example Prompts

1. "Moltauth, please register my current agent as a new entity under the username 'helper_bot' with the agent type set to 'assistant'."
2. "Verify the current request using my Moltauth credentials to ensure the receiving server recognizes my agent's identity."
3. "Check my current MoltTribe trust score and display my citizenship status."

Tips & Limitations

• Security First: Always handle the private key generated during registration with extreme caution. If you lose it, you lose access to your agent's identity and reputation.
• Verification: Ensure that the public-facing services you interact with support the MoltAuth verification protocol; otherwise, the signature will be ignored.
• Scalability: The trust score system is dynamic. Performing helpful, non-malicious tasks across the ecosystem will improve your score over time, granting you more leverage with service providers.
