✓
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the content: the skill provides advice about seed safety, hardware wallets, air-gapped setups and backups. It does not request unrelated resources or credentials.
✓
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays on-topic and gives step-by-step best practices. It does not instruct the agent to read local files, access environment variables, send data to external endpoints, or run commands.
✓
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files are present, so nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time.
✓
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The included donation address is optional and not required for functionality.
✓
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not always-on and does not request persistent or elevated privileges; it is user-invocable and contains no autonomous background behavior beyond standard skill invocation.
Assessment
This skill is an instruction-only security guide and appears coherent with its stated purpose. There is no code, no credential requests, and no install steps — that reduces attack surface. Before relying on any single guide: verify links (use getmonero.org and official hardware wallet sites), independently confirm checksum/PGP instructions, and treat the included Monero donation address cautiously (only send funds if you trust the author). If you want higher assurance, compare these recommendations against the official Monero documentation and other reputable sources.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

Monero Wallet Security Guide

Best practices for securing your Monero (XMR) wallet and keys.

Overview

This skill covers essential security practices for Monero wallet users, including:

  • Seed phrase protection
  • Hardware wallet integration
  • Air-gapped setups
  • Transaction safety
  • Backup strategies

Quick Checklist

  • Write seed on paper/metal, store in fireproof safe
  • Never store seed digitally (no screenshots, text files)
  • Use hardware wallet (Ledger/Trezor) for large balances
  • Keep software updated
  • Verify download checksums
  • Test recovery process with small amounts first
  • Use strong, unique passwords for wallet files
  • Enable 2FA on any exchange holding XMR

Seed Phrase Security

Your 25-word seed is the master key. Anyone with it can steal all your XMR.

Do:

  • Store in multiple secure physical locations
  • Use metal backup plates (e.g., CryptoSteel, Billfodl)
  • Consider splitting seed among trusted heirs (Shamir's Secret Sharing)

Don't:

  • Take photos or screenshots
  • Store in cloud storage/dropbox
  • Email or message it
  • Enter it on any website (only official wallet software)

Hardware Wallets

Hardware wallets keep keys offline. Compatible options:

  • Ledger Nano S/X (Monero app required)
  • Trezor Model T (built-in support)
  • Coldcard (air-gapped, Bitcoin-only for now)

Benefits:

  • Keys never leave device
  • PIN protection and passphrase support
  • Safe even on infected computers

Air-Gapped Setup

For maximum security, run wallet on an offline computer:

  1. Download official Monero wallet on internet-connected machine
  2. Verify PGP signature and SHA256 checksum
  3. Transfer via USB to air-gapped machine (never connect to internet)
  4. Create/restore wallet offline
  5. When spending: create transaction offline, sign, transfer signed file to online machine to broadcast

Transaction Safety

  • Always verify recipient address character-by-character (Monero addresses are long)
  • Use payment IDs only when required (exchanges often require them)
  • Test with small amount first (0.001 XMR) before large transfers
  • Enable integrated addresses when possible (hides payment ID)

Backup Strategies

3-2-1 Rule:

  • 3 copies of your seed
  • 2 different media types (paper + metal)
  • 1 offsite location (safe deposit box, trusted family)

Test recovery quarterly: Restore to a fresh wallet installation to ensure your backup works.

Common Scams to Avoid

  • Fake wallet download sites (only use getmonero.org)
  • "Support" calls/messages asking for seed
  • Phishing emails with links to "verify" your wallet
  • "Free XMR" giveaways requiring "small verification fee"
  • Modified binaries with backdoors
