What This Skill Does

Locus is a powerful payment infrastructure agent skill designed to bridge the gap between your AI agent and decentralized financial systems. By leveraging the Locus MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration, this skill enables your agent to securely interact with cryptocurrency wallets to manage balances, list supported tokens, and execute financial transactions. Unlike static integrations, Locus utilizes dynamic permissions, meaning your agent's capabilities are automatically tailored to the specific wallet and permission group associated with your Locus API key. This ensures a secure, role-based approach to crypto operations within the OpenClaw ecosystem.

Installation

To install the Locus skill, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cdermott7/locus. After installation, ensure you have the mcporter tool available. The agent will guide you through the setup process, which includes verifying your environment, obtaining your API key from https://app.paywithlocus.com, and configuring the MCP bridge. You can alternatively run the automated setup script located at bash skills/locus/scripts/setup.sh within your workspace root to handle the configuration steps programmatically.

Use Cases

The Locus skill is primarily designed for high-efficiency financial management. Key use cases include: 1. Automated Invoice Processing: Scanning your inbox for billing emails, extracting payment data, and presenting a summary for your approval. 2. Portfolio Management: Checking wallet balances across different chains and assets on-demand. 3. Crypto Payments: Facilitating secure transactions to vendors or individuals directly via your agent. 4. Approval Workflows: Using your agent as a gatekeeper to verify transaction details before signing any blockchain operations.

Example Prompts

1. "Check my current wallet balance and list all available tokens on the Locus network."
2. "Scan my recent emails for any pending invoices from my contractors, summarize the amounts, and prepare a payment draft for the latest one."
3. "Send 50 USDC to 0x123...abc regarding the Q1 consulting project, but ask me for confirmation before you broadcast the transaction."

Tips & Limitations

Always run mcporter list locus --schema after setup to identify exactly which tools are available to you, as these change based on your Locus account permissions. Never proceed with a payment without verifying the recipient address manually; crypto transactions are irreversible. For security, treat your Locus API key as sensitive credentials—do not share it in plain text logs. Always exercise extreme caution with large payments exceeding $100 and ensure the agent prompts you for a final 'go-ahead' before any funds are moved.
