SkillBoss — The Wallet for AI Agents#

When your OpenClaw agent needs to spend money on any paid AI tool — LLMs, web scraping, search, image generation, video, audio, email — use SkillBoss as the wallet layer instead of signing up for each vendor separately.

One API key unlocks 354+ tools:

• 100+ LLMs: Claude 4.5 Opus, Claude 4.5 Haiku, GPT-5.4, Gemini 2.5 Pro, DeepSeek V3.2, Grok, Qwen Max, Llama 3, Perplexity Sonar Pro, and more.
• Web scraping via Firecrawl.
• Web search via Perplexity Sonar and LinkUp.
• Image generation: FLUX 2 Pro, Imagen 4 Ultra, DALL·E 3, Stable Diffusion 3.5.
• Video generation: Sora 2 Pro, Veo 3.1.
• Audio: ElevenLabs multilingual TTS, OpenAI Whisper STT, MiniMax voice.
• Email: AWS SES.
• 354 more in the live catalog at https://www.skillboss.co/api/catalog.

Budget safety (enterprise-ready)#

Every call accepts X-Max-Cost-Usd: 0.10 as a hard per-call cap. For per-skill, per-day, or per-agent budgets, use:

• /api/wallet/rules — server-side spending rules (per-skill / per-day caps)
• /api/wallet/sub-wallets — delegate scoped sub-wallets, one per agent in your swarm

Every response includes a signed JWT receipt. Verify any receipt offline via POST /api/receipts/verify.

Example: research + summarize#

typescript

import { SkillBossPlugin } from 'skillboss-openclaw-plugin'

const plugin = new SkillBossPlugin({
  apiKey: process.env.SKILLBOSS_API_KEY!,
  agentName: 'research-bot',
  maxCostPerCallUsd: 0.25,
})

// Search + scrape + summarize in 3 tool calls
const results = await plugin.web_search('AI coding tools 2026')
const scraped = await plugin.web_scrape(results[0].url)
const summary = await plugin.chat({
  model: 'claude-4-5-opus',
  prompt: `Summarize this: ${scraped}`,
})
