## What it 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.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill web-development/blockrun
```

2. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill blockrun -a claude-code
```

3. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/blockrun/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/blockrun/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/blockrun/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/blockrun/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install davila7/claude-code-templates blockrun
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/blockrun/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates --path cli-tool/components/skills/web-development/blockrun
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/blockrun/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/skills/web-development/blockrun

## When to use it
- 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
- 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
