Tulebank

You can send Argentine pesos (ARS) to any bank account via CVU or ALIAS and fund your wallet from ARS bank transfers using the tulebank CLI, which talks to a proxy that handles Ripio Ramps API credentials.

CVU vs ALIAS

• ALIAS: a text string (e.g., franv98, pilarcastilloz, tulezao). If the user provides a word or short text, it's an alias.
• CVU: a 22-digit numeric string (e.g., 0000003100099123456789). If the user provides a long number, it's a CVU.
• Both are valid destinations for --to in beneficiaries add and send.

Important rules

• ALWAYS confirm the destination and action with the user before executing tulebank send. Use question format (e.g., "Should I send 3,000 ARS to Pilar Castillo (pilarcastilloz)?").
• CLI only: run TuleBank through CLI commands. Do not import files under lib/ or run ad-hoc JavaScript to bypass the CLI.
• Use the installed tulebank binary for all commands in this skill.
• If tulebank is not available, ask the user to install it or fix PATH before continuing.
• When the user refers to someone by name or description (e.g., "la verdulería", "mi hermano"), search beneficiaries first.
• If multiple matches are found, ask the user to clarify.
• If no match is found and the user provides an alias or CVU, run beneficiaries add --to <alias_or_cvu> to register it. Ripio will return the holder's name, CUIT, and bank — show this to the user and ask for confirmation before sending. The send command requires an existing beneficiary; it will NOT auto-create one.
• Output from the CLI is JSON. Parse it and present it in a human-friendly way.
• The user must sign up before adding beneficiaries or sending. If not configured, run tulebank signup first.
• OTP flow: For existing Ripio users, check-kyc sends an OTP to their phone. You must ask the human for the 6-digit code and use otp --code <code> to validate.
• The send command creates an off-ramp session and returns deposit addresses. The user deposits USDC or wARS to that address, and Ripio converts to ARS and sends to the bank.
• If the user has a wallet configured (tulebank wallet setup), send can auto-send tokens with --amount. Omit --token for smart send (auto-picks wARS or swaps USDC→wARS).
• --to accepts beneficiary names (e.g., --to Pili matches "Pilar Castillo"). Word-prefix matching is supported.
• Auto-send shows a confirmation prompt with beneficiary, amount, and destination. The human must confirm before funds are sent. Use --yes to skip the prompt only after the human has already confirmed to you directly.
• Fiat account activation: Ripio only allows one enabled fiat account per customer. The send command automatically activates the target beneficiary's fiat account before sending. This may take a few extra seconds if the account was suspended.
• After auto-sending, show the transaction hash and run tulebank history to confirm the record.
• Swaps: Use tulebank swap to convert between USDC and wARS on Base. wARS converts 1:1 to ARS via off-ramp, so swapping USDC to wARS before sending can lock in the rate.
• On-ramp (bank transfer): Use tulebank onramp quote/create/status for ARS -> wARS (default, session flow) or ARS -> USDC (order flow). Workstream 5 v1 supports bank_transfer only.
• ARS amounts → just use --amount, no --token: When the user specifies an amount in ARS/pesos, ALWAYS use --amount <n> WITHOUT --token. The --amount value is in ARS. The CLI handles everything (picks wARS if available, or auto-swaps USDC→wARS). Never manually calculate USDC equivalents — it introduces rounding errors and the result won't be exact. Only use --token USDC when the user explicitly says they want to send USDC (not ARS).
• History: After every send, swap, or on-ramp create, call tulebank history to confirm the transaction was recorded.

Available commands

Run these via the exec tool using the tulebank CLI binary.

Wallet setup

tulebank wallet setup

Creates a CDP smart wallet on Base via the proxy (no local credentials needed).

Wallet info

tulebank wallet info

Shows the wallet address.

Wallet balance

tulebank wallet balance

Shows USDC, wARS, and ETH balances on Base.

Sign up (prerequisite)

tulebank signup --email <email> --phone <phone>

Creates a TuleBank account, generates a per-user API key, and saves it to config. Only needed once. Use tulebank setup --api-key <key> to log in on another device.

KYC flow (existing Ripio users)

tulebank check-kyc
tulebank otp --code <123456>

check-kyc triggers an OTP to the user's phone. Ask the human for the code, then validate with otp.

Check KYC status

tulebank kyc-status

Search beneficiaries

tulebank beneficiaries search "<query>"

Searches name, description, and CVU/ALIAS. Use this when the user refers to someone by name or description.

List all beneficiaries

tulebank beneficiaries list

Add a beneficiary

tulebank beneficiaries add --to <CVU_OR_ALIAS> [--name "<name>"] [--description "<desc>"]

Creates a fiat account via the proxy (creates + confirms + polls until enabled), then saves locally. If --name is omitted, the holder's name is auto-detected from Ripio (metadata includes name, CUIT, and bank). The response includes a holder field with the detected info — use this to confirm with the user.

Send (off-ramp)

tulebank send --to <name/CVU_OR_ALIAS>

Sends to an existing beneficiary. The --to value is resolved via exact alias/CVU match or fuzzy name search. If the beneficiary is not found, the command errors and asks you to add them first with tulebank beneficiaries add.

Send (off-ramp) — auto-send from wallet

tulebank send --to <CVU_OR_ALIAS> --amount <n> --token <USDC|wARS>

Creates off-ramp session and automatically sends tokens from the configured wallet to the Ripio deposit address on Base. Shows a confirmation prompt before sending. Add --yes to skip the prompt (only after human has confirmed to you). Use --manual to skip auto-send entirely.

Swap tokens on Base

tulebank swap --from USDC --to wARS --amount 10

Swaps tokens via DEX on Base. Default slippage is 100 bps (1%). Use --slippage <bps> to change. Add --yes to skip confirmation (only after human has confirmed to you).

Check off-ramp session status

tulebank send-status --session <session-id>

Shows deposit addresses and transactions for an off-ramp session.

Get a quote

tulebank quote --from USDC --to ARS --amount 10 [--chain BASE]

On-ramp quote (ARS -> wARS or USDC)

tulebank onramp quote --amount 50000 [--asset wARS|USDC] [--chain BASE]

Create on-ramp flow (bank transfer)

tulebank onramp create --amount 50000 [--asset wARS|USDC] [--to-address 0x...] [--chain BASE]

Creates an on-ramp flow using a fresh quote. wARS (default) creates a session; USDC creates an order. Uses configured wallet address when available; pass --to-address to override.

Check on-ramp status

tulebank onramp status --transaction <transaction-id> [--asset wARS|USDC]

Check transaction limits

tulebank limits

Check fiat account status

tulebank fiat-account --id <fiat-account-id>

Transaction history

tulebank history
tulebank history --beneficiary "<name>"
tulebank history --type send
tulebank history --type onramp
tulebank history --from 2026-01-01 --to-date 2026-01-31

Shows local transaction history. Supports filtering by beneficiary (fuzzy), type (send/swap/onramp), and date range. Default: last 30 days.

Smart send rules

• --amount is always in ARS (= wARS, 1:1). Do NOT convert to USDC manually.
• When --token is omitted and --amount is given, the CLI auto-picks wARS (if balance sufficient) or swaps USDC→wARS first.
• When --token is specified, sends that token directly (no auto-swap).
• Example: user says "2300 pesos" → --amount 2300 (NOT --amount 1.57 --token USDC).
• --to accepts beneficiary names (e.g., --to Pili). If one match is found, it auto-resolves. If multiple, it errors with a list.
• After every send, the transaction is recorded in ~/.tulebank/history.json.

Example flows

3. On confirmation: run send --to <their_alias>
4. Show deposit address and instructions

User says: "manda 2000 a franv98"

1. Run beneficiaries search "franv98" → not found
