Coinfello

CoinFello CLI Skill

Use the npx @coinfello/agent-cli CLI to interact with CoinFello through MetaMask Smart Accounts. The CLI handles smart account creation, SIWE authentication, delegation management, prompt-based transactions, and transaction status checks.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20 or later (npx is included with Node.js)

The CLI is available via npx @coinfello/agent-cli. No manual build step is required.

Environment Variables

Security Notice

This skill performs the following sensitive operations:

• Private key generation and storage: Running create_account generates a new private key and stores it in plaintext at ~/.clawdbot/skills/coinfello/config.json. Protect this file accordingly.
• Session token storage: Running sign_in stores a SIWE session token in the same config file.
• Delegation signing: Running send_prompt may automatically create and sign blockchain delegations based on server-requested scopes, then submit them to the CoinFello API.

Users should ensure they trust the CoinFello API endpoint configured via COINFELLO_BASE_URL before running delegation flows.

Quick Start

# 1. Create a smart account on a chain (generates a new private key automatically)
npx @coinfello/agent-cli create_account sepolia

# 2. Sign in to CoinFello with your smart account (SIWE)
npx @coinfello/agent-cli sign_in

# 3. Send a natural language prompt — the server will request a delegation if needed
npx @coinfello/agent-cli send_prompt "send 5 USDC to 0xRecipient..."

# 4. Check transaction status
npx @coinfello/agent-cli get_transaction_status <txn_id>

Commands

create_account

Creates a MetaMask Hybrid smart account with an auto-generated private key and saves it to local config.

npx @coinfello/agent-cli create_account <chain>

• <chain> — A viem chain name: sepolia, mainnet, polygon, arbitrum, optimism, base, etc.
• Generates a new private key automatically
• Saves private_key, smart_account_address, and chain to ~/.clawdbot/skills/coinfello/config.json
• Must be run before send_prompt

get_account

Displays the current smart account address from local config.

npx @coinfello/agent-cli get_account

• Prints the stored smart_account_address
• Exits with an error if no account has been created yet

sign_in

Authenticates with CoinFello using Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE) and your smart account. Saves the session token to local config.

npx @coinfello/agent-cli sign_in

• Signs in using the private key stored in config
• Saves the session token to ~/.clawdbot/skills/coinfello/config.json
• The session token is loaded automatically for subsequent send_prompt calls
• Must be run after create_account and before send_prompt for authenticated flows

set_delegation

Stores a signed parent delegation (JSON) in local config.

npx @coinfello/agent-cli set_delegation '<delegation-json>'

• <delegation-json> — A JSON string representing a Delegation object from MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit

send_prompt

Sends a natural language prompt to CoinFello. If the server requires a delegation to execute the action, the CLI creates and signs a subdelegation automatically based on the server's requested scope and chain.

npx @coinfello/agent-cli send_prompt "<prompt>"

What happens internally:

1. Fetches available agents from /api/v1/automation/coinfello-agents and sends the prompt to CoinFello's conversation endpoint
2. If the server returns a read-only response (no clientToolCalls and no txn_id) → prints the response text and exits
3. If the server returns a txn_id directly with no tool calls → prints it and exits
4. If the server sends an ask_for_delegation client tool call with a chainId and scope:
   • Fetches CoinFello's delegate address
   • Rebuilds the smart account using the chain ID from the tool call
   • Parses the server-provided scope (supports ERC-20, native token, ERC-721, and function call scopes)
   • Creates and signs a subdelegation (wraps with ERC-6492 signature if the smart account is not yet deployed on-chain)
   • Sends the signed delegation back as a clientToolCallResponse along with the chatId and callId from the initial response
   • Returns a txn_id for tracking

get_transaction_status

Checks the status of a previously submitted transaction.

npx @coinfello/agent-cli get_transaction_status <txn_id>

• Returns a JSON object with the current transaction status

Common Workflows

Basic: Send a Prompt (Server-Driven Delegation)

# Create account if not already done
npx @coinfello/agent-cli create_account sepolia

# Sign in (required for delegation flows)
npx @coinfello/agent-cli sign_in

# Send a natural language prompt — delegation is handled automatically
npx @coinfello/agent-cli send_prompt "send 5 USDC to 0xRecipient..."

# Check the result
npx @coinfello/agent-cli get_transaction_status <txn_id-from-above>

Read-Only Prompt

Some prompts don't require a transaction. The CLI detects this automatically and just prints the response.

npx @coinfello/agent-cli send_prompt "what is the chain ID for Base?"

Edge Cases

• No smart account: Run create_account before send_prompt. The CLI checks for a saved private key and address in config.
• Not signed in: Run sign_in before send_prompt if the server requires authentication.
• Invalid chain name: The CLI throws an error listing valid viem chain names.
• Read-only response: If the server returns a text response with no transaction, the CLI prints it and exits without creating a delegation.
