Tutorial | B.AI Skills Minimal Deployment and Operation Guide, Injecting Financial Genes into AI Agents

In today's rapidly evolving large model technology, artificial intelligence is accelerating the reconstruction of productivity across various industries. However, in this exciting process, the industry consistently faces a key bottleneck: current AI Agents mostly remain at the level of "information processing" and "dialogue interaction." Once it involves rigorous capital flow, asset management, or complex financial operations, they are often limited by the lack of specialized execution interfaces, falling into the dilemma of "understanding the needs but unable to take action."

To bridge the gap from "cognition" to "execution," AI urgently needs a dedicated underlying financial operating system. This is precisely the original intention behind the birth of B.AI. As a pioneer focused on building AI financial infrastructure, B.AI's core vision is to lay down a native financial service system and underlying communication pathways for countless future AI Agents. To completely break this execution barrier, the B.AI team has deeply encapsulated complex financial logic on top of the industry-standard agent architecture and open-sourced the Skills module specifically for AI Agent financial operations.

This article will guide you through an easy-to-understand exploration of the Skills provided by B.AI, showing how it empowers AI Agents with real financial execution capabilities and provides step-by-step guidance for local deployment and practical invocation.

1. Analyzing Modular Financial Skills for AI Agents

In simple terms, AI models themselves possess powerful text processing and logical generation capabilities, much like a "brain" with vast knowledge but lacking limbs. Skills are the "hands and feet" and "professional toolbox" that empower this brain. Nowadays, expanding AI's execution capabilities through loading modular Skills has become a common standard across major mainstream agent frameworks. It includes a series of reusable, task-specific functional instruction sets.

Each Skill provided by B.AI encapsulates highly specialized knowledge in finance and data fields and offers a highly automated unified deployment solution. Through simple Skills deployment, AI Agents can execute complex financial operations, payment protocols, and account asset management across platforms according to natural language instructions.

Its core value is reflected in:

• Capability boundary expansion: Transforming AI from a mere "chat assistant" into a truly financially capable "intelligent operator."

• Deterministic execution: Constraining AI's behavioral paths, ensuring that every transaction and every query complies with financial business safety standards, thereby significantly reducing the risks brought by AI hallucinations.

• Lego-like composability: Focusing on providing high-value general financial practical Skills that can seamlessly interface with various mainstream agent frameworks, and multiple Skills can also cooperate with each other to form complex financial workflows, thus truly solidifying the underlying connection between AI and finance across the network.

2. Skills Installation Tutorial

Thanks to the unified installation program provided by B.AI, even users without development experience can quickly complete the full-chain local deployment, allowing AI Agents to achieve a leap in capabilities from "general dialogue" to "professional financial execution" with one click.

1. Environment Preparation

Before starting the installation, please ensure your local development environment is ready:

• OpenClaw or compatible other agent runtime environments.

• Node.js: As npx is used for one-click quick installation, Node.js is a must-have environment across all platforms.

• Python 3 & Git: For script processing and code cloning.

Tips: After running the installation script, the system will automatically check, and users can configure according to system prompts.

2. Run the Installation Command

Open the corresponding command line tool based on your operating system (macOS/Linux users use Terminal, Windows users use Git Bash), copy and input the following command and press Enter: npx skills add https://github.com/BofAI/skills.git

The system will prompt you to install the skills@1.4.9 (version number may update) base package, enter y to confirm and continue, and then the system will automatically start cloning the repository.

3. Select Skills as Needed

After cloning is complete, the terminal will automatically scan and list the currently supported 8 core Skills. You can browse using the up and down arrow keys, check or uncheck using the space bar, and confirm your selection by pressing Enter. The Skills currently provided by B.AI include:

• SunSwap DEX Trading: Supports quotes, token exchanges, liquidity, and fund pool operations.

• SunPerp Perpetual Futures Trading: Perpetual contract market data queries, order placement, and position management.

• TRC20 Token Toolkit: General token metadata queries, balance checks, and transfers.

• TronScan Data Lookup: Comprehensive blockchain data, transactions, token, and network statistics queries.

• Multi-Sig & Account Permissions: Native multi-signature workflows and account permission management.

• recharge-skill & x402-payment: Account recharge and professional payment API resource protocols.

4. Choose Installation Scope

After selecting Skills, the system will ask about your installation scope:

• Project (recommended): Install in the current project's directory (e.g., ~\.agents\skills\), making it easier to submit and version control along with your project code.

• Global: Global installation, effective for all local projects.

Once the selection is complete, the installation program will automatically complete the subsequent file linking and configuration. When the terminal outputs "Done," it indicates that Skills have been successfully installed.

3. Practical Interaction Guide Based on OpenClaw

Once the installation command has been executed, your AI Agent (using OpenClaw as an example) has officially loaded this set of professional financial operation Skills. Next, you can command your AI Agent through the interactive interface of OpenClaw in the following three typical scenarios.

Scenario 1: Query Currently Loaded Skills (Status Confirmation)

Before executing complex tasks, if you want to confirm whether the tools you just installed are effective, you can directly ask the AI in natural language for a "check." For example, "Please help me check which Skills are currently loaded in your local directory?" OpenClaw will automatically check and list the deployed core modules, such as sunswap-dex-trading, agent-wallet, tronscan-data-lookup, etc.

Scenario 2: Implicit Trigger (Natural Language Driven Execution)

This is the most intuitive interaction method for humans. Users do not need to mention specific underlying code files; they can simply state their final request as if instructing a human business assistant. For example, "Please help me check the current real-time exchange rate for USDT to TRX on SunSwap." After receiving the natural language instruction, OpenClaw will accurately match and activate the relevant Skill in the background. It will then automatically call the relevant interface to complete the query and report the final result back to you.

Scenario 3: Combined Invocation (Lego-like Coherent Workflow)

Thanks to the "Lego" feature of Skills being independent yet seamlessly combinable, users can issue composite tasks containing multiple steps to the AI, allowing it to autonomously call different components to complete the closed loop. For example, "Please first check how much USDT balance I have in my address (input your address), and based on the current optimal exchange rate on SunSwap, estimate how much I could get if I exchanged all my TRX for USDT?"

Special Note:

In the scenarios above, we have demonstrated the panoramic capabilities of B.AI Skills. However, please note: if the instructions given to the AI Agent involve real fund transfers, asset exchanges (Swap), or multi-signature authorizations for substantive on-chain transactions, it is necessary to use the Agent Wallet component specifically designed by B.AI. The Agent Wallet is a secure signing environment designed for agents. When the AI executes financial tasks, it uses an innovative "encrypted file + authorization password" dual-lock mechanism to securely isolate the operating environment of the AI Agent.
