Trading Tokens

Use the npx [email protected] trade command to swap tokens on Base network via the CDP Swap API. You must be authenticated to trade.

Confirm wallet is initialized and authed

npx [email protected] status

If the wallet is not authenticated, refer to the authenticate-wallet skill.

Command Syntax

npx [email protected] trade <amount> <from> <to> [options]

Arguments

Argument Description
amount Amount to swap (see Amount Formats below)
from Source token: alias (usdc, eth, weth) or contract address (0x...)
to Destination token: alias (usdc, eth, weth) or contract address (0x...)

Amount Formats

The amount can be specified in multiple formats:

Format Example Description
Dollar prefix '$1.00', '$0.50' USD notation (decimals based on token)
Decimal 1.0, 0.50, 0.001 Human-readable with decimal point
Whole number 5, 100 Interpreted as whole tokens
Atomic units 500000 Large integers treated as atomic units

Auto-detection: Large integers without a decimal point are treated as atomic units. For example, 500000 for USDC (6 decimals) = $0.50.

Decimals: For known tokens (usdc=6, eth=18, weth=18), decimals are automatic. For arbitrary contract addresses, decimals are read from the token contract.

Options

Option Description
-c, --chain <name> Blockchain network (default: base)
-s, --slippage <n> Slippage tolerance in basis points (100 = 1%)
--json Output result as JSON

Token Aliases

Alias Token Decimals Address
usdc USDC 6 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
eth ETH 18 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE
weth WETH 18 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006

IMPORTANT: Always single-quote amounts that use $ to prevent bash variable expansion (e.g. '$1.00' not $1.00).

Input Validation

Before constructing the command, validate all user-provided values to prevent shell injection:

  • amount: Must match ^\$?[\d.]+$ (digits, optional decimal point, optional $ prefix). Reject if it contains spaces, semicolons, pipes, backticks, or other shell metacharacters.
  • from / to: Must be a known alias (usdc, eth, weth) or a valid 0x hex address (^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$). Reject any other value.
  • slippage: Must be a positive integer (^\d+$).

Do not pass unvalidated user input into the command.

Examples

# Swap $1 USDC for ETH (dollar prefix — note the single quotes)
npx [email protected] trade '$1' usdc eth

# Swap 0.50 USDC for ETH (decimal format)
npx [email protected] trade 0.50 usdc eth

# Swap 500000 atomic units of USDC for ETH
npx [email protected] trade 500000 usdc eth

# Swap 0.01 ETH for USDC
npx [email protected] trade 0.01 eth usdc

# Swap with custom slippage (2%)
npx [email protected] trade '$5' usdc eth --slippage 200

# Swap using contract addresses (decimals read from chain)
npx [email protected] trade 100 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006

# Get JSON output
npx [email protected] trade '$1' usdc eth --json

Prerequisites

  • Must be authenticated (awal status to check)
  • Wallet must have sufficient balance of the source token

Error Handling

Common errors:

  • "Not authenticated" - Run awal auth login <email> first
  • "Invalid token" - Use a valid alias (usdc, eth, weth) or 0x address
  • "Cannot swap a token to itself" - From and to must be different
  • "Swap failed: TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED" - Insufficient balance or approval issue
  • "No liquidity" - Try a smaller amount or different token pair
  • "Amount has X decimals but token only supports Y" - Too many decimal places

How to use trade on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

1

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
  • Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
  • Active project directory or workspace where you want to add trade
2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills --skill trade

The skills CLI fetches trade from GitHub repository coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│ • Amp
│ • Antigravity
│ • Cline
│ • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ • Cursor
│ • Windsurf

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/trade

Reload or restart Cursor to activate trade. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /trade) or your agent's skill management interface.

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

  • Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
  • Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
  • Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
  • Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
  • Don't ignore company-specific context and culture

💡 Pro Tips

  • Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
  • Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
  • Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
  • Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs

When to Use This

✓ Use When

Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
