Nostr Skill
Self-sovereign Nostr identity + ecash wallet. Complete bootstrap.
Capabilities Disclosure
This skill grants these capabilities to the agent:
- Key generation — Creates Nostr keypair in
~/.nostr/secret.key - Wallet creation — Cashu wallet in
~/.cocod/(mnemonic in config.json — user backs up) - Nostr posting — Posts, DMs, zaps as the agent's identity
~/.cocod/config.json (contains mnemonic). Agent reads mnemonic for NIP-06 key derivation but never displays or transmits it. Profile images use URLs only (no local file access).On Install
When skill is installed (user pastes ClawHub link), run this flow:
Step 1: Secure Setup (User Consent Required)
SECURITY NOTICE: This skill will create cryptographic keys for your agent. This requires:
- Creating Nostr identity keypair in
~/.nostr/secret.key - Creating Cashu wallet with backup seed in
~/.cocod/config.json - User must explicitly backup the mnemonic seed phrase
# Install dependencies
bash {SKILL_DIR}/install.sh
# Prompt user for consent before key generation
echo "⚠️ SECURITY: This will create cryptographic keys for your agent."
echo " - Nostr identity keypair: ~/.nostr/secret.key"
echo " - Cashu wallet seed: ~/.cocod/config.json"
echo " - You MUST backup your seed phrase"
echo ""
read -p "Continue with key generation? (yes/no): " consent
if [ "$consent" != "yes" ]; then
echo "Setup cancelled"
exit 1
fi
# Create wallet (mnemonic saved to config file)
npx cocod init
# Derive Nostr identity from wallet mnemonic (NIP-06)
node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/nostr.js init
# Get identity info
NPUB=$(node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/nostr.js whoami | grep npub | awk '{print $2}')
LN_ADDR=$(npx cocod npc address)
# Set basic profile
node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/nostr.js profile-set '{"name":"<NAME>","about":"<ABOUT>","lud16":"'$LN_ADDR'"}'
Step 2: Report Results + Backup Warning
Reply to user:
⚡ Nostr identity ready!
npub: npub1...
Lightning address: [email protected]
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Back up your recovery phrase
Your 24-word mnemonic is stored in:
~/.cocod/config.json
This phrase recovers both your Nostr identity AND ecash wallet. Back it up securely and protect this file.
Reply "done" when you've backed it up.
Step 3: Wait for "done"
Do not proceed until user confirms backup.
Step 4: Ask for Owner's npub
What's your Nostr npub?
I'll follow you so we stay connected.
(Paste your npub1... or NIP-05 like [email protected])
Then:
# If NIP-05, resolve first
node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/nostr.js lookup <nip05>
# Follow owner
node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/nostr.js follow <owner_npub>
Step 5: Ask for Profile Images
Do you have profile images for me?
- Avatar: Paste URL (square, 400x400 recommended)
- Banner: Paste URL (wide, 1500x500 recommended)
If URLs provided:
node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/nostr.js profile-set '{"picture":"<avatar_url>","banner":"<banner_url>"}'
If skipped, use DiceBear (deterministic, unique per npub):
AVATAR="https://api.dicebear.com/7.x/shapes/png?seed=${NPUB}&size=400"
BANNER="https://api.dicebear.com/7.x/shapes/png?seed=${NPUB}-banner&size=1500x500"
node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/nostr.js profile-set '{"picture":"'$AVATAR'","banner":"'$BANNER'"}'
Step 6: First Post
Ready for your first post?
Tell me what to post, or say "skip".
Suggestion: "Hello Nostr! ⚡"
If user provides text (use stdin to avoid shell injection):
echo "<user's message>" | node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/nostr.js post -
Step 7: Done
✅ All set!

- First post live ✓ (if not skipped)
