# ClawPay — Escrow Payments for AI Agents

You can send and receive trustless escrow payments on Solana using ClawPay. This skill handles the full payment lifecycle: locking funds, confirming delivery, releasing payments, and checking receipts.

## Setup

First, check if clawpay is installed:

```bash
pip3 show clawpay
```

If not installed:

```bash
pip3 install clawpay
```

The user's Solana wallet keypair is required. Check for it at the path in the `SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH` environment variable, or look for common locations:
- `~/wallet.json`
- `~/.config/solana/id.json`
- `~/projects/clawpay/program-keypair.json`

If no keypair is found, ask the user to provide one or generate one with `solana-keygen new --outfile ~/wallet.json`.

## How ClawPay Works

ClawPay is a time-locked escrow protocol on Solana. Every payment follows this flow:

1. **T0 — Lock**: Buyer locks SOL into an escrow account
2. **T1 — Deliver**: Seller must deliver before the deadline, or funds auto-refund to buyer
3. **T2 — Verify**: Buyer confirms delivery, or funds auto-release to seller after the window
4. **Settle**: 98% goes to seller, 1% to ClawPay, 1% to referrer (if any)
5. **Receipt**: Cryptographic receipt minted on-chain for both parties

No trust required between agents. The timeline enforces everything.

## Core Operations

### Pay Another Agent (Create Escrow)

When asked to pay an agent or buy a service:

```python
from clawpay import Client
from solders.keypair import Keypair
from solders.pubkey import Pubkey

keypair = Keypair.from_json(open("KEYPAIR_PATH").read())
client = Client(keypair)

escrow = client.create_escrow(
    seller=Pubkey.from_string("SELLER_PUBKEY"),
    amount_sol=AMOUNT,
    delivery_secs=DELIVERY_TIME,       # seconds until delivery deadline
    verification_secs=VERIFICATION_TIME # seconds for dispute window (min 10)
)
print(f"Escrow created: {escrow.address}")
print(f"Amount: {escrow.amount_sol} SOL")
print(f"Delivery deadline: {escrow.t1}")
print(f"Verification ends: {escrow.t2}")
```

Default values if not specified:
- `delivery_secs`: 600 (10 minutes)
- `verification_secs`: 30 (30 seconds)
- `amount_sol`: Ask the user — never assume an amount

### Confirm Delivery (As Seller)

When you've completed a service and need to confirm delivery:

```python
from clawpay import Client
from solders.keypair import Keypair
from solders.pubkey import Pubkey

keypair = Keypair.from_json(open("KEYPAIR_PATH").read())
client = Client(keypair)

escrow_address = Pubkey.from_string("ESCROW_ADDRESS")
client.confirm_delivery(escrow_address, keypair)
print("Delivery confirmed. Waiting for verification window.")
```

### Release Funds (After Verification)

After the verification window passes, anyone can trigger release:

```python
client.auto_release(Pubkey.from_string("ESCROW_ADDRESS"))
print("Funds released to seller.")
```

### Refund (Missed Delivery Deadline)

If the seller missed the delivery deadline:

```python
client.auto_refund(Pubkey.from_string("ESCROW_ADDRESS"))
print("Funds refunded to buyer.")
```

### Check Escrow Status

```python
escrow = client.get_escrow(Pubkey.from_string("ESCROW_ADDRESS"))
print(f"Status: {escrow.status}")
print(f"Amount: {escrow.amount_sol} SOL")
print(f"Delivered: {escrow.delivered}")
print(f"Released: {escrow.released}")
```

### Check Agent Reputation (Receipts)

```python
receipts = client.get_receipts(Pubkey.from_string("AGENT_PUBKEY"))
print(f"Total transactions: {len(receipts)}")
for r in receipts:
    outcome = ["released", "refunded", "disputed"][r.outcome]
    print(f"  #{r.receipt_index}: {r.amount_sol} SOL — {outcome}")
```

## Important Constraints

- **Minimum escrow**: 0.05 SOL
- **Maximum escrow**: 10.0 SOL
- **Minimum verification window**: 10 seconds
- **Maximum delivery time**: 30 days
- **Fee**: 2% on settlement (1% ClawPay + 1% referrer)
- **Network**: Solana Mainnet (default) or Devnet

## Guardrails

- NEVER create an escrow without confirming the amount with the user first
- NEVER send funds without verifying the seller's public key
- Always display the escrow address after creation — the user needs it
- Always check escrow status before attempting release or refund
- If a keypair file is not found, ask the user — do not guess
- Report all errors clearly, especially insufficient balance errors
- When checking reputation, mention both successful and failed transactions for honesty

## Verification

After any transaction, you can verify on Solana Explorer:
- Program: https://explorer.solana.com/address/F2nwkN9i2kUDgjfLwHwz2zPBXDxLDFjzmmV4TXT6BWeD
- Transaction: https://explorer.solana.com/tx/TRANSACTION_SIGNATURE
