Overview
Aomi Transact drives the aomi TypeScript CLI to build natural-language crypto agents and web3 assistants. It composes calldata, fork-simulates transactions as a batch, and stages wallet requests for explicit user signing — non-custodial throughout. Current chain metadata includes Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Base Sepolia, Optimism, Sepolia, Linea, Linea Sepolia, Monad, Monad Testnet, Robinhood Chain, MegaETH, and local Anvil. The npm CLI is the production/end-user surface; the Rust aomi-cli in product-mono is an in-process dev/test CLI with a different command surface — never mix the two. For deep references, see commands.md, workflows.md, gotchas.md, account-abstraction.md, apps.md, examples.md, session.md, drain-vectors.md, troubleshooting.md.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ with npm or npx
@aomi-labs/clientv0.6.0 or newer:npm install -g @aomi-labs/client@latest- For EVM signing: a 0x-prefixed private key via
aomi wallet set,--private-key, orPRIVATE_KEY - For Solana sign-only flows: a base58 or JSON keypair via
aomi wallet set --solana(which also persists the cluster;--clusteroverrides),--solana-private-key, orSOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY - Optional:
AOMI_ACCOUNT_BEARER/--account-bearerfor authenticated account-bound requests - Native gas on the destination chain for the signing EOA — local signing is EOA-only, so there is no sponsorship fallback
Instructions
- Detect the CLI and check its version:
aomi --version 2>/dev/null || npx @aomi-labs/client@latest --version. If it prints below0.6.0, stop and tell the user to runnpm install -g @aomi-labs/client@latest, or prefix every command withnpx @aomi-labs/client@latestinstead. An already-installed globalaomiis never upgraded by installing this skill, and the pre-0.4 surface differs. - Start a new session:
aomi chat "<task>" --new-session - Inspect queue:
aomi tx list - For multi-step flows, simulate first:
aomi tx simulate tx-1 tx-2 - Sign:
aomi tx sign tx-1 - Verify:
aomi session statusoraomi session log
For the full procedure (read-only requests, building wallet requests, signing policy, batch simulation, secret ingestion), see workflows.md.
Examples
aomi chat "what is the price of ETH?" --new-session
aomi chat "swap 1 ETH for USDC" --new-session --public-key 0xYourAddress --chain 1
aomi tx list && aomi tx simulate tx-1 tx-2 && aomi tx sign tx-1 tx-2
aomi chat "stake 0.5 ETH on Lido" --app lido --chain 1 --new-session
Four end-to-end walkthroughs (approve+swap, lending, bridging, staking) in examples.md. Per-app first-turn examples (Khalani, 0x, Polymarket, Binance, Neynar) in apps.md.
Output
aomi chat: agent response or⚡ Wallet request queued: tx-Naomi tx list: table of pending/signed tx ids withbatch_statusaomi tx simulate: per-step success/failure, revert reason, gas usageaomi tx sign: transaction hash and on-chain confirmation
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
insufficient funds for transfer |
Signing EOA has no native gas | Fund the EOA on the destination chain — local signing has no sponsorship path |
AA execution now runs in the backend lane |
An AA path was selected on tx sign |
Drop --aa/--aa-provider/--aa-mode; if no flags were passed, unset AOMI_AA_PROVIDER/AOMI_AA_MODE |
stateful: false in simulation |
Wrong batch order | Reorder tx ids to match execution dependency |
RPC 401/429 |
Rate-limited or missing key | Set --rpc-url to authenticated endpoint |
| No tx queued after chat | Agent returned quote first | Run aomi tx list; send a confirmation reply |
Orphaned tx-N in list |
Previous simulation failed | Only sign txs with batch_status: passed |
Failed to get apps/models: HTTP 404 |
Public backend does not expose that introspection route | Treat app list/model list as backend-dependent; do not block chat/sign flows on it |
Full troubleshooting in troubleshooting.md.
Safety Justification
This skill is risk_tier: L2 because it can sign and broadcast on-chain transactions. The permissions manifest enforces least privilege:
- Shell allowlist scopes execution to
aomiandnpx @aomi-labs/client@latestonly — no arbitrary subprocesses. - Network allowlist restricts outbound traffic to
chat.aomi.dev(the CLI's default backend;api.aomi.devis the legacy host). User-supplied--rpc-urlendpoints are resolved by the CLI itself; operators must review them before allowing signing. - File scope is read+write to
~/.aomi/only; identity files (SOUL.md,MEMORY.md,AGENTS.md) are deny-listed against writes per OWASP AST03 mitigation #3. - No blind signing. Multi-step flows go through
aomi tx simulateon a forked chain beforeaomi tx sign. Drain-vector calldata fields (recipient,onBehalfOf,mintRecipient,_to) are blocked at simulation time when they do not equalmsg.sender— see drain-vectors.md. - Opaque credentials. The skill never fabricates, derives, or echoes credential values; setup commands run only when the user explicitly asks and supplies the value in this turn. Full rules in gotchas.md → Hard Rules.
When to Use
- The user wants to chat with the Aomi agent from the terminal.
- The user wants balances, prices, routes, quotes, or transaction status.
- The user wants to build, simulate, confirm, sign, or broadcast wallet requests.
- The user wants to inspect or switch apps, models, chains, or sessions.
- The user wants to inspect or change Account Abstraction preferences (synced to the backend lane).
- The user wants to authenticate a CLI account with
aomi account login, inspect it withaomi account whoami, or inspect linked wallets and login methods withaomi account links. - The user wants to build a new app from an API spec or SDK — use the companion skill aomi-build.

There is no aomi thread, aomi cron, aomi login, or aomi wallet ls|dev-key|set-mode on this CLI — those belong to the separate Rust aomi-cli. aomi deploy is advertised in --help but unreachable in v0.4.2 (fix pending in aomi-labs/aomi#467). Full command reference, flags, and env vars in commands.md.
