# Agent Skills

veri.how publishes two read-only Agent Skills, veri-token and veri-smartmetal, that teach an agent to query VERI and Veri SmartMetal contracts with curl over public RPCs.

Each skill is instructions only: curl calls with the calldata written out, plus public IPFS gateways. The skills only read the chain. They never sign or send a transaction.

## Install

Install both skills with the skills CLI:

```sh
npx skills add https://veri.how
```

It asks which agents to install them for. Add `-g` to install them for your user instead of the current project. For claude.ai, download a skill’s zip below and upload it as a custom skill.

Agents can also find both skills in [https://veri.how/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json](https://veri.how/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json), which lists each zip with its sha256 digest.

## veri-token

Read the VERI ERC-20 token on Ethereum with curl over public JSON-RPC: total supply, decimals, owner and the VERI balance of any address. Use when asked about VERI balances, supply or contract facts.

It covers:

- Total supply
- Balance of an address
- Decimals and owner

Install it alone:

```sh
npx skills add https://veri.how --skill veri-token
```

- Zip: [https://veri.how/skills/veri-token.zip](https://veri.how/skills/veri-token.zip)
- Instructions: [SKILL.md](https://veri.how/skills/veri-token/SKILL.md)
- Version: 2026-10-13, the date its facts were last verified
- Licence: MIT. The ABIs inside keep the licence of their verified source.

## veri-smartmetal

Look up a Veri SmartMetal ERC-1155 token on Base by token id with curl: its series, its IPFS metadata (metal, weight, design) and whether it has been activated. Use when asked about a SmartMetal token, its series or activation.

It covers:

- Find the series
- Read the metadata
- Check activation
- Who holds it
- How activation works

Install it alone:

```sh
npx skills add https://veri.how --skill veri-smartmetal
```
