What it does

Cortx is an agent skill from BankrBot/skills. Check whether an x402 payment endpoint is reliably delivering value before an agent spends USDC on it. Runs a 7-stage verification using real on-chain data.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `catalog.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts. It works with x402 and Circle USDC. The repository describes itself as: Bankr Skills equip builders with plug-and-play tools to build more powerful agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Smart contracts

Example prompts

  • “/cortx”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Availability — server reachability
  2. Payment terms — 402 response + X-Payment-Required header validity
  3. Price check — amount within expected bounds
  4. Payment signing — EIP-712 domain, USDC contract address, chain ID
  5. Delivery — 200 response after payment submitted on-chain
  6. JSON parse — response body is valid JSON
  7. Schema validation — response matches expected structure

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.

    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:

    • usecortx.dev

    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

Cortx loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,077 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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 1,077 words (~2,036 tokens).

“Purpose: Check whether an x402 payment endpoint is reliably delivering value before an agent sends USDC to it.”
