Q: How do I install send-usdc?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills --skill send-usdc in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/send-usdc/ (personal) or .claude/skills/send-usdc/ (project).

Send tokens (USDC, ETH, POL, or SOL) to an address or ENS name on Base, Polygon, or Solana. Use when you or the user want to send money, pay someone, transfer tokens, tip, donate, or send funds to a wallet address or .eth name.

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills --skill send-usdc

01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads send-usdc automatically when relevant.
03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Sending Tokens

Use the npx awal@2.10.0 send command to transfer tokens from the wallet to any address on Base, Polygon, or Solana.

Confirm wallet is initialized and authed

npx awal@2.10.0 status

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

Command Syntax

npx awal@2.10.0 send <amount> <recipient> [--chain <chain>] [--asset <asset>] [--json]

Arguments

Argument	Description
`amount`	Amount to send: '$1.00', '1.00', or atomic units (1000000 = $1). Always single-quote amounts that use `$` to prevent bash variable expansion. If the number looks like atomic units (no decimal or > 100), treat as atomic units. Assume that people won't be sending more than 100 USDC the majority of the time
`recipient`	Ethereum address (0x...), ENS name (vitalik.eth), or Solana address (Base58)

Options

Option	Description
`--chain <name>`	Blockchain network: base, polygon, solana (default: base)
`--asset <symbol>`	Token to send: usdc, eth, pol, sol (default: usdc)
`--json`	Output result as JSON

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.
recipient: Must be a valid 0x hex address (^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$), an ENS name (^[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.eth$), or a Solana address (^[1-9A-HJ-NP-Za-km-z]{32,44}$). Reject any value containing spaces or shell metacharacters.
chain: Must be one of base, polygon, solana. Reject any other value.
asset: Must be one of usdc, eth, pol, sol. Reject any other value.

Do not pass unvalidated user input into the command.

Examples

# Send $1.00 USDC to an address on Base (default)
npx awal@2.10.0 send 1 0x1234...abcd

# Send $0.50 USDC to an ENS name
npx awal@2.10.0 send 0.50 vitalik.eth

# Send with dollar sign prefix (note the single quotes)
npx awal@2.10.0 send '$5.00' 0x1234...abcd

# Send ETH on Base
npx awal@2.10.0 send 0.01 0x1234...abcd --asset eth

# Send USDC on Polygon
npx awal@2.10.0 send 1 0x1234...abcd --chain polygon

# Send USDC to a Solana address
npx awal@2.10.0 send 1 AxW7...5fGz --chain solana

# Get JSON output
npx awal@2.10.0 send 1 vitalik.eth --json

ENS Resolution

ENS names are automatically resolved to addresses via Ethereum mainnet. The command will:

Detect ENS names (any string containing a dot that isn't a hex address)
Resolve the name to an address
Display both the ENS name and resolved address in the output

Prerequisites

Must be authenticated (npx awal@2.10.0 status to check, npx awal@2.10.0 auth login to sign in, see skill authenticate-wallet for more information)
Wallet must have sufficient USDC balance (npx awal balance to check)

Error Handling

Common errors:

"Not authenticated" - Run awal auth login <email> first
"Insufficient balance" - Check balance with awal balance
"Could not resolve ENS name" - Verify the ENS name exists
"Invalid recipient" - Must be valid 0x address, ENS name, or Solana Base58 address
"SOL only supported on Solana chains" - Use --chain solana when sending SOL
"ETH/POL only supported on EVM chains" - ETH on base, POL on polygon
