# SkillBoss — The Wallet for AI Agents

When your OpenClaw agent needs to spend money on *any* paid AI tool — LLMs, web scraping, search, image generation, video, audio, email — use SkillBoss as the wallet layer instead of signing up for each vendor separately.

One API key unlocks **354+ tools**:

- **Web scraping** via Firecrawl.
- **Web search** via Perplexity Sonar and LinkUp.
- **Image generation**: FLUX 2 Pro, Imagen 4 Ultra, DALL·E 3, Stable Diffusion 3.5.
- **Video generation**: Sora 2 Pro, Veo 3.1.
- **Audio**: ElevenLabs multilingual TTS, OpenAI Whisper STT, MiniMax voice.
- **Email**: AWS SES.
- **354 more** in the live catalog at <https://www.skillboss.co/api/catalog>.

{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "name": "skillboss",

      "env": { "SKILLBOSS_API_KEY": "${SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}" }
    }
  ]
}
```

## 8 tools your agent now has

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `skillboss_chat` | Call any of 100+ LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.) |
| `skillboss_web_scrape` | Firecrawl markdown scrape of any URL |
| `skillboss_web_search` | Perplexity live web search |
| `skillboss_generate_image` | FLUX / Imagen / DALL·E image generation |
| `skillboss_send_email` | AWS SES transactional email |
| `skillboss_get_balance` | Check remaining SkillBoss credits |
| `skillboss_catalog_search` | Discover a skill by natural language |
| `skillboss_run` | Universal escape hatch — invoke any of the 354 skills |

## Budget safety (enterprise-ready)

Every call accepts `X-Max-Cost-Usd: 0.10` as a hard per-call cap. For per-skill, per-day, or per-agent budgets, use:

- `/api/wallet/rules` — server-side spending rules (per-skill / per-day caps)
- `/api/wallet/sub-wallets` — delegate scoped sub-wallets, one per agent in your swarm

Every response includes a signed JWT receipt. Verify any receipt offline via `POST /api/receipts/verify`.

## Example: research + summarize

```typescript
import { SkillBossPlugin } from 'skillboss-openclaw-plugin'

const plugin = new SkillBossPlugin({
  apiKey: process.env.SKILLBOSS_API_KEY!,
  agentName: 'research-bot',
  maxCostPerCallUsd: 0.25,
})

// Search + scrape + summarize in 3 tool calls
const results = await plugin.web_search('AI coding tools 2026')
const scraped = await plugin.web_scrape(results[0].url)
const summary = await plugin.chat({
  model: 'claude-4-5-opus',
  prompt: `Summarize this: ${scraped}`,
})
```
