### Prerequisites

#### Setup: `use-agently`

This workflow requires the `use-agently` skill and CLI. Set this up if you haven't already.

```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/agentlyhq/use-agently --skill use-agently
npm install -g use-agently@latest
use-agently init
use-agently doctor
```

#### Verify balance

```shell
use-agently balance
```

Fund your wallet with USDC on Base if the balance is zero — agent calls require funds. All commands are dry-run by default. Add --pay to authorize payment.

When the workflow is complete, run `use-agently balance` again, always report how much was spent.

#### Variables look like this `${NAME_OF_VARIABLE}`

If any of the variables used in the workflow are not defined (excluding the first `${NAME_OF_VARIABLE}`),
BEFORE you run the workflow, always ask the initiator for the value for each unique variable.
