What it does

Based Mining is an agent skill from BankrBot/skills. Buy Bitcoin hashpower and Megapot lottery tickets through the BASED x402 endpoints on Base. Use when the user says mine bitcoin, solo mining, based pool, buy hashpower, rent hashrate, block odds, block party, my mining payout, what would I earn if BASED hits a block, mining profitability, hashprice, bitcoin hashprice, cbBTC, WBTC, BTC basis, megapot, lottery ticket, or jackpot. Covers live pool stats, hashpower quotes, solo block odds, per-miner round status, hashprice, cbBTC/WBTC basis on Base, placing $10…

Its SKILL.md is about 10k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `catalog.json`).

It works with Bitcoin, x402 and Coinbase. The repository describes itself as: Bankr Skills equip builders with plug-and-play tools to build more powerful agents.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says mine bitcoin
  • My mining payout
  • What would I earn if BASED hits a block
  • Mining profitability

Example prompts

  • “/based-mining”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dc47eed. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.bankr.bot
    • x402.bankr.bot

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Based Mining loads about 10k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,255 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~143
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~10k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 5,255 words (~10,288 tokens).

“BASED is a solo Bitcoin mining pool. This skill lets an agent read pool data, price hashpower, place mining orders, and buy Megapot lottery tickets, all paid in USDC on Base through x402.”
