Progress narration counts as user-visible — Rules 1-3 still apply.

Long-running flows (decode → confirm → wallet check → sign → header assembly → replay) tempt status updates. Every "正在…" / "I'm now…" line is user-facing. Step labels in this SKILL.md (Step A3-Accepts, Step A3-WWW-Authenticate) and reference files (exact / aggr_deferred schemes, charge / session intents) are internal — do NOT echo them in narration.

Channel mid-session ops (close / topup / settle / voucher / refund mentioned with an active channel_id, regardless of fresh 402) → stay here, jump straight into references/session.md at the matching phase. Do NOT search for a separate close-channel / topup-channel / settle-channel tool — they're all onchainos payment session ... subcommands.

Path A: HTTP 402

Step A1: Send the original request

Make the HTTP request the user asked for. If status is not 402, return the body directly — no payment, no wallet check, no other tool calls.

Step A2: Detect the protocol

Priority 1: response.headers['WWW-Authenticate']

  starts with "Payment "        → continue at Step A3-WWW-Authenticate

Priority 2: response.headers['PAYMENT-REQUIRED']

  base64-encoded JSON           → continue at Step A3-Accepts (v2)

Priority 3: response body JSON has "x402Version"

                                → continue at Step A3-Accepts (v1)

Otherwise                       → not a supported payment protocol, stop

**Both WWW-Authenticate: Payment and PAYMENT-REQUIRED/x402Version indicators present** — STOP and ask the user:

The server offers two payment options via the OKX Agent Payments Protocol:

  • One-shot purchase, or streaming session (multi-request) (recommended)
  • One-shot purchase

Which would you like to use?

Internal mapping: option 1 → WWW-Authenticate: Payment path, option 2 → PAYMENT-REQUIRED/x402Version path.

Step A3-Accepts: Decode

v2 — payload is in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED response header (base64-encoded JSON):

headerValue = response.headers['PAYMENT-REQUIRED']

decoded     = JSON.parse(atob(headerValue))

v1 — payload is in the response body (direct JSON, not base64):

decoded = JSON.parse(response.body)

Extract:

accepts = decoded.accepts          // pass full array to the CLI later

option  = decoded.accepts[0]       // for display only

Save decoded for header assembly later — you will need decoded.x402Version and decoded.resource (v2).

Step A3-WWW-Authenticate: Decode

Parse the WWW-Authenticate header:

Payment id="...", realm="...", method="evm", intent="...", request="<base64url>", expires="..."

base64url-decode request to get the JSON body. Save:

intent              charge | session

amount              base units string (e.g. "1000000")

currency            ERC-20 contract address

recipient           merchant payee address

methodDetails:

  chainId           EVM chain ID (e.g. 196 for X Layer)

  escrowContract    REQUIRED for session, ABSENT for charge

  feePayer          true (transaction mode) | false (hash mode)

  splits            optional, charge only, max 10 entries

  minVoucherDelta   optional, session only

  channelId         optional, session topUp/voucher only — pre-existing channel

suggestedDeposit    optional, session only — suggested initial deposit

unitType            optional — "request" | "second" | "byte" etc.

Method check — only method="evm" is supported here. If method is "tempo", "svm", "stripe", etc. → stop and tell the user this dispatcher cannot handle it.

Challenge expiry — if expires=... (ISO-8601) is in the past, the challenge is dead: re-send the original request to get a fresh 402 before signing. Stale challenges fail with 30001 incorrect params.

Convert amount from base units to human-readable using the token's decimals (typically 6 for USDC/USD₮, 18 for native).

Step A4: Display payment details and STOP

**⚠️ MANDATORY: Display details and STOP to wait for explicit user confirmation. Do NOT call onchainos wallet status or any other tool until the user confirms.**

For **accepts-based 402** (PAYMENT-REQUIRED header v2 / x402Version body v1):

This resource requires payment via the OKX Agent Payments Protocol:

  • Network: <chain name> (<option.network>)
  • Token: <token symbol> (<option.asset>)
  • Amount: <human-readable amount> (from option.amount for v2, or option.maxAmountRequired for v1; convert from minimal units using token decimals)
  • Pay to: <option.payTo>

Proceed with payment? (yes / no)

For **WWW-Authenticate: Payment 402**:

This resource requires payment via the OKX Agent Payments Protocol:

  • Payment type: <one-shot purchase (charge) | streaming session (multi-request)>
  • Network: <chain name> (eip155:<chainId>)
  • Token: <symbol> (<currency address>)
  • Amount per request: <human-readable> (atomic: <amount>)
  • Pay to: <recipient>
  • Who pays gas: <server (transaction mode) | you broadcast it yourself (hash mode)>
  • Split recipients (one-shot only, if present): <N other parties also receive a share>
  • Suggested prepaid balance (session only, if present): <human-readable>

Proceed with payment? (yes / no)

  • User confirms → Step A5.
  • User declines → stop. No payment, no wallet check.

Step A5: Check wallet status (only after the user explicitly confirms)

onchainos wallet status
  • Logged in → Step A6.
  • **Not logged in (accepts-based path)** → ask the user to choose between (1) wallet login (TEE signing) or (2) local private key (onchainos payment pay-local, exact scheme only). Don't read files or check env vars until the user picks.
  • **Not logged in (WWW-Authenticate: Payment path) → ask the user to log in via email OTP or AK. TEE-only — no local-key fallback for this path** (only the accepts-based path has one).

Step A6: Hand off to the scheme/intent reference

Path

Action

**accepts-based** (PAYMENT-REQUIRED header v2 / x402Version body v1)

Run onchainos payment pay --accepts '<JSON.stringify(decoded.accepts)>'. When the response comes back, look at whether sessionCert is present:• sessionCert present → load **references/aggr_deferred.md** for header assembly + replay• sessionCert absent → load **references/exact.md** for header assembly + replayIf the user picked the local-key fallback, run onchainos payment pay-local instead and load **references/exact.md** (only scheme this fallback supports).

**WWW-Authenticate: Payment, intent="charge"**

Load **references/charge.md** at "Decide mode".

**WWW-Authenticate: Payment, intent="session"**

Load **references/session.md** at "Phase S1: Open Channel" (or jump to S2 / S2b / S3 if the user is mid-session with an active channel_id).

After the reference returns the assembled X-PAYMENT / PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header or authorization_header, replay the original request and surface the response to the user. Suggest follow-ups conversationally — never expose internal field names or skill IDs.

Path B: a2a-pay (paymentId-based, no 402)

The user invokes this path explicitly — by mentioning a paymentId / a2a_... link, asking to "create a payment link", or asking to check a2a payment status.

Step B1: Identify the role

User says…

Load

Role

"create payment link" / "generate payment" / --amount/--recipient

references/a2a_charge.md → "Seller — Create"

Seller

Provides a paymentId / a2a_... to pay

references/a2a_charge.md → "Buyer — Pay"

Buyer

Provides a paymentId and asks for status

references/a2a_charge.md → "Status — Query"

Either

If the user says only "I want to pay" without a paymentId — STOP and ask the user to provide the seller-issued paymentId. Do not attempt anything else.

Step B2: Wallet status

Both create and pay require a live wallet session. Run onchainos wallet status:

  • Logged in → proceed (load the reference and follow it).
  • Not logged in → ask the user to log in via onchainos wallet login or onchainos wallet login <email>. Do NOT sign without a live session.

Step B3: Hand off to references/a2a_charge.md

The reference contains the full create/pay/status flow including the auto-poll-to-terminal logic and trust-delegation note. Buyer-side trust is delegated to the upstream caller — the buyer signs whatever the on-server challenge declares. Cross-checking the paymentId against the agreed terms is the upstream's responsibility, NOT this dispatcher's.

Cross-cutting

Reading seller errors ( WWW-Authenticate: Payment / a2a-pay)

When the seller rejects, do NOT show raw JSON or just the numeric code. Extract the human-readable explanation in priority order, use the first non-empty match:

  • body.reason (mppx, OKX TS Session)
  • body.detail (RFC 9457 ProblemDetails)
  • body.message
  • body.msg (OKX SA API)
  • body.error
  • body.title (RFC 9457 short title — fallback only)
  • fallthrough — format the whole body and add the HTTP status

Format:

❌ Seller rejected: <reason text> (code <code if present>, HTTP <status>)

Amount display

All user-facing amounts in BOTH human and atomic form: <human> (<atomic>), e.g. 0.0004 USDC (400), 1.5 ETH (1500000000000000000). Compute via amount / 10^decimals from the challenge currency token.

Token

Decimals

1 unit in minimal

Example

USDC

6

1000000

1000000 → 1.00 USDC

USDT

6

1000000

2500000 → 2.50 USDT

USDG

6

1000000

500000 → 0.50 USDG

ETH

18

1000000000000000000

10000000000000000 → 0.01 ETH

For any symbol not in the table: never assume — query okx-dex-token for the token's decimals first. If you cannot resolve them, render <minimal> <symbol> and append unknown decimals — please double-check the seller-provided amount. Do not block the flow.

Suggest next steps

After a successful payment + response, suggest conversationally:

Just completed

Suggest

Successful HTTP 402 replay

Check balance impact via okx-agentic-wallet; or make another request to the same resource

Successful a2a payment

Verify post-payment balance via okx-agentic-wallet

402 on replay (expired)

Retry with a fresh signature

Channel session in progress

Issue another voucher when the next request arrives; close the channel when done
