SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires agentbooks, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provide financial accountability for an agent persona by maintaining a multi-asset ledger, recording costs and confirmed income, computing a Financial Health Score, and adapting behavior when funds or health decline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Asset Wallet: Mirror assets across providers (onchain, coinbase-cdp, ACN) while preserving native currencies.
  • Cost & Income Tracking: Record inference, runtime, faculty, skill, and custom costs, and record externally verified income with quality flags.
  • Financial Health & Prescriptions: Compute tiers (normal, optimizing, critical, suspended) and output prescriptions like optimize_costs, add_funds, or pause_non_essential to change runtime behavior.
  • Automation Hooks: Integrates with economy-hook and economy-guard to record inference costs automatically and enforce guard behavior at conversation start and end.

Quick Start

Initialize the persona wallet, connect a real provider, and sync balances using the provided economy scripts to activate financial scoring and ledger tracking.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track inference and runtime costs for an autonomous agent persona?

Track inference and runtime costs by recording transactions in a multi-asset ledger that mirrors assets across providers while preserving native currencies. The system logs inference, faculty, and skill costs automatically via economy-hook integrations to maintain accurate cost-tracking.

Can I record externally verified income and custom costs in an agent ledger?

Record externally verified income and custom costs in the agent ledger by logging transactions with specific quality flags. This cost-tracking mechanism supports multiple asset types across onchain, coinbase-cdp, and ACN providers while preserving native currencies.

Do I need AgentBooks to initialize a multi-asset wallet for persona cost-tracking?

You need AgentBooks to initialize a multi-asset wallet for persona cost-tracking, using environment variables like PERSONA_SLUG, AGENTBOOKS_AGENT_ID, and AGENTBOOKS_DATA_PATH. Local Node.js wrapper scripts require this dependency to sync balances and run economy guards.

What prescriptions can an agent output when its financial health reaches a critical tier?

When financial health reaches a critical tier, an agent can output prescriptions like optimize_costs, add_funds, or pause_non_essential. These behavior adaptations trigger automatically based on runway and Financial Health Score thresholds evaluated by the economy-guard.
