SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires commander.

What problem does it solve?

Bitcoin rune assets require reliable tooling to check balances, enumerate rune-bearing UTXOs, and execute transfers safely. This skill provides a unified CLI to manage rune operations across Taproot addresses using the Unisat indexing API and Runestone encoding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Balance queries return all rune balances for a given address, with human-friendly formatting.
  • UTXO inspection lists rune-bearing UTXOs for a specific rune to support precise selection and auditing.
  • Transfer builds a Runestone-encoded transaction, signs it, and broadcasts it, with safeguards like explicit change pointers and fee handling.
  • Works on mainnet and testnet with UNISAT_API_KEY support.

Quick Start

Run the balance, utxos, or transfer subcommands against an unlocked wallet to manage your rune assets.
