Trifle Auth

Authenticate with the Trifle API using Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE). Manages wallet-based authentication, JWT token storage, and session management for the Trifle ecosystem.

Trifle Auth Skill

Authenticate with the Trifle API (bot.trifle.life) using SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum) for wallet-based authentication. Stores JWT tokens for use by other skills (snake-game, etc.).

Setup

1. Install dependencies

bash

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/trifle-auth
npm install

2. Generate a wallet

bash

node trifle-auth.mjs generate

This generates a new Ethereum address and automatically saves the private key to 1Password (vault: Gigi, item: "EVM Wallet - Trifle Agent"). The key is never printed to stdout. If 1Password is unavailable, it falls back to a restricted file (~/.trifle-wallet.key, mode 600).

3. Set environment (or use 1Password)

The skill reads the private key from:

1. TRIFLE_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable (first priority)
2. 1Password: op://Gigi/EVM Wallet - Gigi/private_key

4. Login

bash

node trifle-auth.mjs login

This authenticates via SIWE and stores the JWT token in ~/.local/state/trifle-auth/auth-state.json.

Commands

bash

# Authenticate and store JWT token
node trifle-auth.mjs login

# Check auth status and user info
node trifle-auth.mjs status

# Get JWT token path (written to a secure temp file, not stdout)
TOKEN=$(cat $(node trifle-auth.mjs token))
node trifle-auth.mjs token

# Generate a new wallet keypair
node trifle-auth.mjs generate

# Check ball balance
node trifle-auth.mjs balance

Authentication Flow

1. Gets nonce from /auth/wallet/nonce
2. Creates SIWE message with domain trifle.life
3. Signs message with private key (no gas cost)
4. Verifies signature at /auth/wallet/verify
5. Receives JWT token (valid 30 days)
6. Stores token in state file

State File

Location: ~/.local/state/trifle-auth/auth-state.json (XDG-compliant, override with TRIFLE_AUTH_STATE env var)

json

{
  "token": "jwt-token-here",
  "address": "0x...",
  "userId": 123,
  "username": "gigi",
  "totalBalls": 50,
  "lastLogin": "2026-02-05T15:00:00Z"
}
