OKX a2a Payment

Use this skill when the user mentions creating a payment link, paying a paymentId / a2a_... link, or checking a2a payment status. Wraps `onchainos payment a2a-pay` agent-to-agent payment protocol: seller-side `create`, buyer-side `pay` via EIP-3009 + TEE signing, and `status` query. Buyer-side trust is delegated to upstream — the skill signs whatever the on-server challenge declares. Do NOT use for external HTTP 402 resources — use okx-x402-payment. Do NOT use for wallet balance / transfer / login — use okx-agentic-wallet.

Onchain OS A2A Payment

Wrap the onchainos payment a2a-pay CLI surface end-to-end for both seller and buyer roles. Buyer-side trust is delegated to the upstream caller — when invoked with a paymentId, the skill fetches the on-server challenge, TEE-signs it as-is, submits the credential, and auto-polls payment status to a terminal state.

Skill Routing

This skill only covers internal a2a payments issued via onchainos payment a2a-pay. If the request fits one of the intents below, route to the corresponding skill instead:

Intent	Use skill
External HTTP 402 payment-gated resource (any non-onchainos URL)	okx-x402-payment
Wallet balance / transfer / login	okx-agentic-wallet
Task publish / accept / deliver / verify (business layer) — payment sub-step calls back into this skill via the Workflow A contract	upstream task / agent skill (out of repo)
Internal onchainos payment a2a-pay payment link	this skill

Triggers

Skill activates on user intents that match any of:

• "create payment link", "create a2a payment", "generate payment", "create payment authorization"
• "pay paymentId", "pay a2a_...", "pay this link", "settle this payment"
• "payment status", "a2a payment status", "check payment status", "where is my payment"

Pre-flight Checks

Both seller (create) and buyer (pay) require an authenticated wallet session. The CLI calls ensure_tokens_refreshed internally and bails on not logged in.

Before invoking create or pay:

bash

onchainos wallet status

• Logged in → proceed.
• Not logged in → ask the user to log in via onchainos wallet login (AK login, no email) or onchainos wallet login <email> (OTP login). Do NOT attempt to sign without a live session.

status does not require additional pre-flight beyond what the CLI itself enforces.

Operation Flow

Seller — Create a Payment Link (a2a-pay create)

Inputs:

• Required: --amount (decimal token amount, e.g. "0.01"), --symbol (e.g. "USDT"), --recipient (0x... EVM address — seller wallet)
• Optional: --description, --realm, --expires-in (seconds, default 1800)

Steps:

1. Run pre-flight (see above) — the CLI requires a live session.

2. Shell out:

   bash

   onchainos payment a2a-pay create \
     --amount <amount> --symbol <symbol> --recipient <recipient> \
     [--description <text> --realm <domain> --expires-in <seconds>]
   

3. Parse the response — only payment_id and deliveries.url (optional) are present. The CLI no longer returns amount / currency; the skill echoes the seller's input args back for display.

4. Display to the user:

   Payment link created. • paymentId: <id> • Amount: <amount input> <symbol input> (decimal as you submitted) • Recipient: <recipient input> • Share with buyer: <deliveries.url> (if returned by the server) or paymentId=<id>

5. Suggest next: poll status anytime with onchainos payment a2a-pay status --payment-id <id> once the buyer is expected to have paid.

Buyer — Pay a Payment Link (a2a-pay pay)

Required input: paymentId only. The CLI fetches the seller-issued challenge from the server and signs whatever amount / currency / recipient the challenge declares.

Trust model: the buyer signs the seller's challenge as-is. Verifying that the challenge matches what the buyer agreed to pay is the upstream caller's responsibility: the user (or the upstream skill) MUST cross-check the seller's paymentId / deliveries.url against their out-of-band agreement (chat, task spec, prior negotiation) before calling this skill. Once the skill is invoked, it will sign the on-server challenge.

Step 1 — Sign and Submit

The skill does not run its own preview / yes-no gate; trust is delegated to the upstream caller (see the trust-model note above). Shell out directly:

bash

onchainos payment a2a-pay pay --payment-id <paymentId>

The CLI fetches the on-server challenge, TEE-signs the EIP-3009 authorization, and submits the credential. The successful response shape:

json

{
  "payment_id": "a2a_xxx",
  "status": "<status>",
  "tx_hash": "<hash or null>",
  "valid_after": 0,
  "valid_before": 1746000000,
  "signature": "0x..."
}

Step 2 — Auto-poll Status to Terminal

Status classification:

• Non-terminal (poll): pending, settling
• Terminal (stop): completed, failed, expired, cancelled

If status is already terminal → render the result (see table below) and stop.

If non-terminal → poll every 3 seconds, up to a 60-second total budget:

bash

onchainos payment a2a-pay status --payment-id <paymentId>

• As soon as a terminal status is observed → render full result (status + tx_hash + block_number) and stop.
• If 60 seconds elapse and the status is still non-terminal → return the current status plus the paymentId, and tell the user: "Status is still <status> after 60s; you can run status again later."

Terminal display strings:

status	Display
completed	"✅ Payment confirmed on-chain. tx_hash: <tx_hash> block: <block_number>"
failed	"❌ Payment failed. (include the server-provided reason if any)"
expired	"⌛ Payment link expired before settlement. Ask the seller for a new one."
cancelled	"🚫 Seller cancelled this payment."

Status — Query Payment State (a2a-pay status)

Input: paymentId.

Steps:

1. Run:

   bash

   onchainos payment a2a-pay status --payment-id <paymentId>
   

2. Map the returned status to a human-readable line:

   status	Meaning	Display
   pending	Awaiting buyer signature	"⏳ Awaiting buyer signature."
   settling	Credential received, settling on-chain	"🔄 Settling on-chain (credential submitted, awaiting confirmation)."
   completed	Confirmed on-chain	"✅ Confirmed on-chain. tx_hash: <tx_hash> block: <block_number> fee: <fee_decimal> <fee_symbol>"
   failed	Payment failed	"❌ Failed. (include the server-provided reason if any)"
   expired	Expired before settlement	"⌛ Expired before settlement."
   cancelled	Seller cancelled	"🚫 Cancelled by seller."

3. Rendering the fee. The CLI returns fee_amount as a top-level string in minimal units (and fee_bps as the basis-points used). To compute <fee_decimal>, look up the token decimals in the table under "Amount Display Rules". For <fee_symbol>, reuse the --symbol the seller passed to create for the same paymentId — the upstream caller (or the seller flow that issued the link) is the source of truth for the token symbol; the status response itself does not echo it back. If neither is available, display fee_amount minimal units as-is.

4. Suggest next:

   • pending / settling → "Check again in a few moments" or wait briefly and re-run status.
   • completed → recommend okx-agentic-wallet to verify the buyer's post-payment balance delta.
   • failed → recommend checking buyer balance via okx-agentic-wallet, and if tx_hash is present, inspect it via okx-security tx-scan.

Cross-Skill Workflows

Workflow A — Sub-skill called from an upstream agent flow (most common)

Applicable upstream callers: any agent-to-agent task / chat / agent flow that holds the seller-issued payment information.

Contract — upstream MUST hand off paymentId (skill stops and asks the user if missing). Upstream is also responsible for confirming, before invoking this skill, that the paymentId matches the buyer's agreed terms — once invoked, the skill signs whatever the on-server challenge declares.

text

1. <upstream caller>     verifies paymentId matches the buyer's agreed terms → hands off paymentId
       ↓
2. okx-a2a-payment (this skill)  onchainos payment a2a-pay pay → auto-poll status → display terminal state
       ↓
3. okx-agentic-wallet    optional: onchainos wallet balance to see post-payment delta

Workflow B — Seller manually creates a payment link

text

1. okx-a2a-payment create   → paymentId + deliveries.url
2. Seller shares paymentId (and optionally deliveries.url) with the buyer out-of-band (chat / QR / message)
3. Buyer cross-checks the paymentId / deliveries.url against the seller's quoted terms, then runs Workflow A starting from step 2 with the received paymentId

Workflow C — Payment failure triage

text

1. okx-a2a-payment status                 → expired / failed / cancelled
2. Branch on terminal state:
   - expired   → ask seller to create a new link
   - failed    → check buyer balance via okx-agentic-wallet; inspect tx_hash via okx-security tx-scan if present
   - cancelled → contact seller out-of-band

Upstream Routing — Avoiding create Loops

This skill is stateless per call and has no view of the conversation. If the upstream seller agent routes by surface keywords alone (e.g. matches 付款 / pay / payment and always calls create), it will loop:

text

buyer: "I want to pay"        → seller create → returns paymentId_A
buyer pays via this skill, then sends:
buyer: "payment successful"   → seller matches "payment" → create AGAIN → paymentId_B (wrong)

The skill cannot break this loop — the fix lives in the upstream caller's intent router. When you wire this skill into a seller-side agent, enforce the following before calling create:

1. Detect existing paymentId in the incoming message. If the buyer's message contains an a2a_... id (or a deliveries.url you previously issued), route to okx-a2a-payment status for that id. Do NOT call create.

2. Disambiguate intent beyond keywords. Map upstream intents to commands:

   Buyer says	Intent	Route to
   "I want to pay" / "请付款" / "怎么付" / "give me a link"	request-invoice	create
   "paid" / "payment successful" / "已付" / "已转账" / contains a paymentId or tx hash	payment-receipt	status (or no-op if already terminal)
   "cancel" / "refund"	cancel/refund	out of scope for this skill

   Plain keyword matching on 付款 / pay / payment is not enough — both request-invoice and payment-receipt utterances contain those tokens.

3. Track per-conversation order state upstream. Once create issues a paymentId for a given (buyer, order) context, the upstream agent must remember that paymentId in its own conversation / order state and mark the order as "awaiting payment". Subsequent buyer messages in that context default to status against the remembered paymentId until either the payment reaches a terminal state or the user explicitly asks for a new order.

4. Idempotency on create. Before issuing a new create, the upstream agent must check its own state: if a non-terminal paymentId already exists for the same buyer / order context, reuse it instead of creating a new one.

This guidance is advisory for upstream agent authors — this skill itself will still execute whichever command you call. Routing correctness is the upstream caller's job.

Amount Display Rules

When converting amount (or fee_amount) from minimal units to a decimal display, use the hardcoded decimals table:

Token	Decimals	"1000000" minimal renders as
USDC	6	1.00 USDC
USDT	6	1.00 USDT
USDG	6	1.00 USDG
ETH	18	(1e18 minimal = 1.00 ETH)

For any symbol not in the table: render <minimal> <symbol> and append the warning unknown decimals — please double-check the seller-provided amount. Do not block the flow.

Edge Cases

Scenario	Handling
onchainos wallet status reports not logged in	Prompt the user to run onchainos wallet login. Never attempt to sign without a live session.
User provides no paymentId	STOP and ask the user for the seller-issued paymentId.
CLI reports payment ... not payable / expired challenge / unsupported intent	Relay the error verbatim and surface it as a terminal failure — do NOT retry signing.
paymentId not found / 404 from server	Relay the error and ask the user to confirm the paymentId with the seller or upstream caller.
pay succeeded but status is still pending / settling after the 60s poll budget	Return the current status (verbatim) + paymentId; tell the user Status is still <status> after 60s; you can run status again later.
Server returns a 5xx	Surface the status code and any errorMessage verbatim. Do not auto-retry pay — every retry produces a fresh EIP-3009 nonce + signature; let the upstream caller decide whether to re-invoke. status is read-only and safe to retry manually.
--symbol is not in the hardcoded decimals table	Apply the unknown-decimals fallback (see Amount Display Rules). Do not block.
--expires-in was set too short and the link is now past its window	status returns expired; ask the seller to create a new link.
