NFT Skill for OpenClaw
Allows an OpenClaw agent to autonomously generate art, mint NFTs, list on marketplace, monitor sales, evolve based on milestones, and post social updates.
When to Use This Skill
Setup (First Run)
Before first use, ensure the project is built:
cd {baseDir} && npm install && npm run build
The user must populate a .env file with their keys:
cp {baseDir}/.env.example {baseDir}/.env
Required variables: BASE_RPC_URL, BASE_PRIVATE_KEY, NFT_CONTRACT_ADDRESS,
MARKETPLACE_ADDRESS, PINATA_API_KEY, PINATA_SECRET, LLM_PROVIDER.
To deploy contracts (one-time setup):
cd {baseDir} && npm run deploy:testnet # Base Sepolia testnet
cd {baseDir} && npm run deploy:mainnet # Base mainnet
Contract addresses are automatically written to .env after deployment.
Tools
All tools output JSON. The agent should look for the final line matching {"status":"success",...} or {"status":"error",...}.
1. generate β Generate Art
Generate new art and upload to IPFS.
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- generate --generation --theme ""
Parameters:
| Flag | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| -g, --generation | number | yes | Generation number (determines evolution state) |
| -t, --theme | string | yes | Art theme description sent to LLM |
Output:
{"status": "success", "result": {"imagePath": "...", "metadata": {...}, "metadataUri": "Qm..."}}
Example:
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- generate --generation 1 --theme "neon cyberpunk city"
2. mint β Mint NFT
Mint a new ERC721 token on Base with an IPFS metadata URI.
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- mint --metadata-uri
Parameters:
| Flag | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| -m, --metadata-uri | string | yes | IPFS metadata URI (e.g. Qm... or ipfs://Qm...) |
Output:
{"status": "success", "result": {"tokenId": "1", "txHash": "0x...", "blockNumber": 12345, "gasUsed": "80000"}}
Example:
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- mint --metadata-uri QmXyz123abc
3. list β List NFT on Marketplace
List a minted NFT for sale on the marketplace.
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- list --token-id --price
Parameters:
| Flag | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| -i, --token-id | string | yes | Token ID to list |
| -p, --price | string | yes | Listing price in ETH (e.g. "0.05") |
Output:
{"status": "success", "result": {"success": true, "price": "0.05", "txHash": "0x..."}}
Example:
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- list --token-id 1 --price 0.05
4. monitor β Monitor Sales
Watch for sales events in real-time. Streams JSON to stdout until interrupted (Ctrl+C).
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- monitor [--from-block ]
Parameters:
| Flag | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| -f, --from-block | number | no | Replay missed sales from this block before live monitoring |
Output (per sale):
{"status": "sale", "result": {"buyer": "0x...", "tokenId": "1", "price": "0.05", "txHash": "0x...", "blockNumber": 12345}}
Example:
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- monitor --from-block 12000000
5. evolve β Evolve Agent
Trigger the evolution logic when sales milestones are met.
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- evolve --proceeds --generation --trigger ""
Parameters:
| Flag | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| -p, --proceeds | string | yes | Total ETH proceeds earned so far |
| -g, --generation | number | yes | Current generation number |
| --trigger | string | yes | Human-readable reason for evolution |
Output:
{"status": "success", "result": {"previousGeneration": 1, "newGeneration": 2, "improvements": [...], "newAbilities": [...]}}
Example:
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- evolve --proceeds "0.5" --generation 1 --trigger "Sold 3 NFTs"
6. tweet β Post to X
Post an update to X (Twitter).
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- tweet --content ""
Parameters:
| Flag | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| -c, --content | string | yes | Tweet text (auto-truncated to 280 chars) |
Output:
{"status": "success", "result": "tweet_id_string"}
Example:
cd {baseDir} && npm run cli -- tweet --content "New AI art drop incoming! #AIArt #Base"
Typical Workflow
A full autonomous cycle the agent should follow:
1. Generate art with a theme β receive metadata URI 2. Mint the NFT with that URI β receive token ID 3. List the NFT on the marketplace at a price 4. Tweet about the new listing 5. Monitor sales for purchase events 6. Evolve when a sales milestone is reached 7. Repeat from step 1 with the new generation number
