blockrun — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install

Q: How to install blockrun in Claude Code?

Run `npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill web-development/blockrun` in your terminal. You can also run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill blockrun -a claude-code` or place the file into `~/.claude/skills/blockrun/SKILL.md`.

Q: What are the prerequisites to use this skill?

You must install the Python package via `pip install blockrun-llm` and fund the generated on-chain wallet address.

Connects Claude Code to external providers for DALL-E images and live searches on X via Grok using autonomous on-chain micropayments.

What blockrun does

Claude Code cannot produce images or read live social feeds on its own. This skill bridges that gap by running local Python scripts against external endpoints. It lets the agent query models such as DALL-E for illustrations or Grok for live data from X. Setup takes just a few steps.

Instead of managing separate vendor tokens, access is routed through an autonomous x402 wallet funded with USDC. The agent creates its address on the fly. It can also print a funding QR code in the terminal.

External requests fail immediately if the wallet balance hits zero. Without the blockrun-llm package in Python, nothing works. Users can set a hard spending cap directly in the prompt to prevent surprise charges.

What it helps with

create graphics using DALL-E without a separate OpenAI subscription
pull live posts and trend data from X using Grok
run code audits through alternate reasoning models
track and enforce spending limits on external agent tool calls

Example prompts for the agent

blockrun generate an illustration of a mountain peak
use grok to find today's discussions about autonomous coding on X
blockrun check my wallet balance
