# Bank Skill

## Purpose

Gives AI agents **traditional banking** capabilities (via Wise API) and **on-chain token operations** (via Uniswap on Base). Agents can check balances, send money, retrieve account details, create Ethereum wallets, swap tokens, and send tokens—all through a single skill.

## Prerequisites

**For Banking (Wise API):**
- `WISE_API_TOKEN` environment variable (required)
- Optional: `WISE_PROFILE_ID` (defaults to first available profile)

**For Token Operations (Base Network):**
- Optional: `CLAWBANK_WALLET_PASSWORD` (wallet keystore password, defaults to "clawbank-default")
- Optional: `BASE_RPC_URL` (Base RPC endpoint, defaults to https://mainnet.base.org)

## Operations

### Banking Operations (Wise API)

#### 1. Check Balance

**Purpose:** Query Wise multi-currency balances for the configured profile.

**Inputs:**
- `action`: `"balance"` (required)
- `currency`: Currency code filter, e.g. `"USD"` (optional — returns all if omitted)

**Outputs:**
- JSON array of balance objects, each with `currency`, `amount`, and `reservedAmount`

**Usage:**
```bash
echo '{"action": "balance"}' | ./run.sh
echo '{"action": "balance", "currency": "USD"}' | ./run.sh
```

**Example output:**
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "balances": [
    {"currency": "USD", "amount": 1250.00, "reservedAmount": 0.00},
    {"currency": "EUR", "amount": 500.75, "reservedAmount": 10.00}
  ]
}
```

#### 2. Get Receive Details

**Purpose:** Retrieve account number, routing number, IBAN, and related info so others can send you payments.

**Inputs:**
- `action`: `"receive-details"` (required)

**Usage:**
```bash
echo '{"action": "receive-details"}' | ./run.sh
echo '{"action": "receive-details", "currency": "USD"}' | ./run.sh
```

**Example output:**
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "details": [
    {
      "currency": "USD",

## Failure Modes

**Banking Operations:**
- **Missing `WISE_API_TOKEN`:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "WISE_API_TOKEN environment variable is not set"}`. Set the token and retry.
- **Invalid API token:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "Authentication failed — check your WISE_API_TOKEN"}`.
- **Insufficient funds:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "Insufficient funds in USD balance"}`. Check balance before retrying.
- **Invalid recipient details:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "Invalid recipient account details"}`.

**Token Operations:**
- **No wallet:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "Wallet does not exist. Call create-wallet first"}`.
- **Insufficient ETH:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "Insufficient balance. Have X ETH, need Y + 0.001 for gas"}`.
- **No target token set:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "No target token set. Call set-target-token first"}`.
- **No liquidity pool:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "No liquidity pool found for [token]"}`.
- **Unknown action:** Returns `{"success": false, "error": "Unknown action: <action>"}`. See Operations section for valid actions.

## When to Use

**Banking:** Check balances, send international transfers, share account details for receiving payments

**Token Operations:** Create wallets, swap tokens on Base (any token with Uniswap liquidity), send tokens, track balances

## When Not to Use

- Do not use Wise for crypto on/off-ramps (Wise restricts crypto)
- Do not use with accounts holding significant funds (R&D only)
- Token operations require Base network access and ETH for gas

## Technical Details

**Token Swap Implementation:**
- Hybrid V3+V4 routing (tries V3 first, falls back to V4 for tokens with hooks)
- Supports any token with WETH liquidity on Base
- Automatic fee tier detection (0.05%, 0.3%, 1%)
- Gas costs: ~250k (V3) or ~450k (V4)

**Security:**
- Wallet keystore encrypted with password
- Private keys never logged or exposed
- All transactions signed locally
- No external API calls for token operations (direct blockchain interaction)
