AI Mine (PoAIW) — OpenClaw Skill

This skill lets users install, configure, and start/stop AIT mining entirely from OpenClaw. All actions are performed by the agent via Exec; the user never needs to open a terminal or edit files manually.

Supported user intents (English trigger phrases):

Install — e.g. "install AIT mining", "set up AIT miner", "install the miner"
Configure — e.g. "configure AIT mining", "configure mining", "set up my keys"
Start mining — e.g. "start mining", "start AIT mining", "begin mining"
Stop mining — e.g. "stop mining", "stop AIT mining"
Mining status — e.g. "mining status", "status", "how is mining doing"
Balance — e.g. "AIT balance", "check balance", "my AIT balance"

Conventions:

AIMINE_DIR: base directory for the repo; default ~/PoAIW. Miner directory is $AIMINE_DIR/miner.
Port for the miner web API: 3000 (localhost only).
Keys: user can set PRIVATE_KEY and either OPENAI_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY in OpenClaw skill config (env injection), or provide them once in chat. The miner accepts both env var names for the OpenAI key. Then the agent runs init with those values.

When the user wants to INSTALL the miner

Run (use AIMINE_DIR if set, else default to $HOME/PoAIW):

text

AIMINE_DIR=${AIMINE_DIR:-$HOME/PoAIW}
[ -d "$AIMINE_DIR/.git" ] || git clone https://github.com/AIMineRes/PoAIW.git "$AIMINE_DIR"
cd "$AIMINE_DIR/miner" && npm install

Do not ask the user to open a terminal or run these manually.

When the user wants to CONFIGURE mining

The user must have provided wallet private key and OpenAI API key (either in OpenClaw skill config as PRIVATE_KEY and OPENAI_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY, or in the conversation). If users get "invalid API key", have them check: no leading/trailing spaces, key starts with sk-, and if using OpenClaw config try setting OPENAI_API_KEY (some UIs use that name).

If keys are in environment (e.g. injected by OpenClaw skill config): run
cd "$AIMINE_DIR/miner" && npx ts-node src/index.ts init --from-env
(ensure AIMINE_DIR is set or use $HOME/PoAIW/miner).
If the user provided keys in the message: run
cd "$AIMINE_DIR/miner" && npx ts-node src/index.ts init --private-key <key> --openai-key <key>
using the keys they provided. Do not echo the keys back in full.

Do not ask the user to manually edit .env or openclaw.json.

When the user wants to START mining

Run the one-shot script so that the web server is started in the background if needed, then the API is called. Do not tell the user to "run npm run web first".

text

cd "${AIMINE_DIR:-$HOME/PoAIW}/miner" && node scripts/start-mining.js

If AIMINE_DIR is not set, use $HOME/PoAIW (or equivalent on the host). The script will start the web server on port 3000 if it is not already listening, wait a few seconds, then POST to http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/start.

When the user wants to STOP mining

Run:

text

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/stop

When the user wants MINING STATUS

Run:

text

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/status

Then summarize the JSON (miningActive, blocksMined, tokenBalance, bnbBalance, hashRate) in a short reply.

When the user wants AIT BALANCE (wallet / mining stats)

Run:

text

cd "${AIMINE_DIR:-$HOME/PoAIW}/miner" && npx ts-node src/index.ts balance

Summarize the output for the user.

Summary

Install: clone repo into AIMINE_DIR (default ~/PoAIW), then cd miner && npm install.
Configure: ai-mine init --from-env (if keys in env) or ai-mine init --private-key ... --openai-key ... (if user gave keys in chat).
Start: node scripts/start-mining.js in the miner directory (no need for user to run npm run web).
Stop: curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/stop.
Status: curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/status.
Balance: npx ts-node src/index.ts balance in the miner directory.

Always use the miner directory as $AIMINE_DIR/miner with AIMINE_DIR defaulting to ~/PoAIW when not set.
