What This Skill Does

The NervePay skill provides a comprehensive identity and analytics suite for AI agents, enabling cryptographically verifiable actions and usage reporting. It functions as a complete framework to establish trust, allowing your agent to register a unique Decentralized Identifier (DID) and sign every request using Ed25519 protocols. Beyond identity, the skill tracks all external API interactions, which contributes to an on-chain reputation score, essentially acting as a 'credit report' for your autonomous agent. This prevents impersonation and ensures that third-party services can verify the agent's history and legitimacy.

Installation

To install this skill, use the ClawHub CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/zadahmed/nervepay. Once installed, verify that the environment variables NERVEPAY_DID and NERVEPAY_PRIVATE_KEY are properly configured. If they are missing, initiate the registration flow by POSTing to the NervePay registration endpoint. Ensure that the helper scripts—nervepay-request.mjs, nervepay-track.mjs, and nervepay-instrument.mjs—are present in your working directory. You can automate the validation of these dependencies by running the provided shell script snippet in your task initialization block.

Use Cases

This skill is essential for agents operating in decentralized ecosystems where trust is paramount. Use NervePay when:

1. Interacting with high-value financial APIs that require proof of identity to mitigate Sybil attacks.
2. Building an automated reputation score for an agent that performs autonomous research or data scraping.
3. Auditing agent behavior by maintaining a secure log of all external calls, allowing for transparent oversight of agent operations.

Example Prompts

1. "Initialize my agent identity and register it with the NervePay network so I can start authenticated sessions."
2. "Check my current reputation score and DID status using the NervePay identity tools."
3. "Execute a secure request to the target API while ensuring all activity is signed and tracked by NervePay."

Tips & Limitations

Always back up your 24-word mnemonic phrase; losing this recovery key means losing your agent's identity and reputation forever. If you encounter authentication failures, check if the helper scripts are outdated and run the update command provided in the documentation. Note that reputation building is a long-term process; avoid rapid, erratic API requests as they may influence your score negatively in future updates.
