SOHO Pay - Credit Layer Payments

This skill allows the agent to initiate payments through the SOHO Pay Creditor smart contract using the spendWithAuthorization EIP-712 flow.

The agent signs the payment authorization off-chain using a pre-configured wallet, and then submits the transaction to the network on the user's behalf.

Core Command

The primary way to use this skill is with a natural language command that maps to:

pay <amount> to <merchant_address>

<amount>: The numerical amount to pay (e.g., 10, 0.5).
<merchant_address>: The recipient EVM address (0x...). Names are not supported and no random addresses are ever generated by this skill.

Workflow

When triggered, the skill's script performs the following actions:

Parse Inputs: Extracts the amount and merchant address from the user's request.
Validate Merchant Address: Confirms that the merchant is a valid EVM address; otherwise it aborts.
Pre-Flight Checks: Before signing, it runs a series of checks to ensure the transaction is likely to succeed:
- Verifies the borrower is registered and active.
- Checks if the borrower has a sufficient credit limit.
Generate Authorization: Creates an EIP-712 typed data message for the payment.
Sign Off-Chain: Uses the configured PRIVATE_KEY wallet (from environment variables) to sign the authorization message.
Execute On-Chain: Calls the spendWithAuthorization function on the Creditor contract, providing the signed message.
Report Result: Returns the transaction hash to the user upon confirmation.

Configuration

Environment Variable (runtime): The private key for the signing wallet must be provided via the PRIVATE_KEY environment variable.
Skill Metadata: The skill declares PRIVATE_KEY as a required, sensitive credential, intended only for testnet signing.
Network: All transactions are performed on the Base Sepolia testnet. The script will abort if connected to mainnet or any non-Base-Sepolia chain.

Defaults

The following values are hardcoded into the script for consistency:

Creditor Contract: 0x669324C8c8011c3C0cA31faFBdD9C76219C06dB1
Borrower Manager: 0xFdcb4abf261944383dbac37cB8E9147E50E2a609
Asset (USDC): 0x08B1797bB535C4cf86f93424137Cb3e004476624 (6 decimals)
Payment Plan ID: 0

Security & Testnet Usage

This skill requires a TESTNET-ONLY private key. Do not use a mainnet or real-funds wallet.
It is designed only for Base Sepolia. The script enforces the Base Sepolia chainId and aborts on mainnet or any other network.
The agent cannot auto-invoke this skill; it must be called manually by a user or higher-level workflow.
The merchant must be provided as an explicit merchant_address. If the address is wrong, funds on the testnet may be irrecoverably sent to the wrong account.
No random address generation is performed. The skill will refuse non-address merchant inputs.

Example Usage

pay 10 to 0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678

This command will trigger a payment of 10 USDC to the specified address on Base Sepolia, signed by the configured testnet wallet.
