What it does

Thoughtproof Reasoning Check is an agent skill from moonpay/skills. Verify whether an AI agent's decision is well-reasoned before executing. Adversarial multi-model critique (Claude, Grok, DeepSeek) returns ALLOW, BLOCK, or UNCERTAIN with confidence score. Use before any high-value swap, trade, or autonomous action.

Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with DeepSeek. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to move money — on-ramps, swaps, wallets, deposits, and more via the MoonPay CLI. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/thoughtproof-reasoning-check”

Workflow steps

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

  1. User says: "Swap $5K USDC for ETH because CT is bullish."
  2. Agent prepares the MoonPay swap request.
  3. Before calling moonpay-swap-tokens, the agent sends the reasoning to ThoughtProof.
  4. ThoughtProof returns
  5. If verification passes, the MoonPay skill executes the swap.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa672ab. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    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.thoughtproof.ai

    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

Thoughtproof Reasoning Check loads about 833 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 325 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~833

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.

ThoughtProof Reasoning Check

Goal

Before executing a trade or autonomous action, verify that the agent's reasoning is sound. ThoughtProof runs adversarial multi-model critique and returns a signed verdict: ALLOW, BLOCK, or UNCERTAIN.

Prerequisites

  • A funded wallet on Base (for x402 payment): mp wallet create

Usage

Check reasoning quality before a trade:

bash
curl -X POST https://api.thoughtproof.ai/v1/check \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"claim": "Swap $2K USDC to ETH. ETH at $2180, 6% below 30d MA, RSI 34.", "stakeLevel": "medium", "domain": "financial"}'

First call returns 402 with x402 payment details (amount, recipient, asset on Base). Pay, then retry the same request to receive the verdict.

Response

json
{
  "verdict": "ALLOW",
  "confidence": 0.82,
  "objections": [],
  "durationMs": 55000
}

Decision logic

VerdictMeaningAction
ALLOWReasoning passed verificationProceed
BLOCKMaterial reasoning defects or unacceptable riskDo not execute
UNCERTAINSafe escalation state — insufficient clean evidence to justify ALLOW or BLOCKGather more context or require review

Pricing

ThoughtProof pricing is stake-based.

Stake LevelStandardLiteUse case
low$0.01$0.005Routine low-value actions
medium$0.02$0.01Standard trades and service payments
high$0.05—Large or sensitive actions
critical$0.10—High-value or highly risky actions

Notes:

  • lite is only available for low and medium stake.
  • high and critical always execute on the standard tier.
  • Billing follows the executed tier, not the requested tier.

Example workflow

MoonPay + ThoughtProof: payment layer + verification layer

MoonPay handles the payment execution. ThoughtProof verifies whether the decision to pay is well-reasoned before settlement.

Example:

  1. User says: "Swap $5K USDC for ETH because CT is bullish."
  2. Agent prepares the MoonPay swap request.
  3. Before calling moonpay-swap-tokens, the agent sends the reasoning to ThoughtProof.
  4. ThoughtProof returns:
    • ALLOW → proceed with swap
    • BLOCK → stop, surface objections
    • UNCERTAIN → escalate, ask for clarification or review
  5. If verification passes, the MoonPay skill executes the swap.

Example failure:

  • "Buy $50K of a token because influencers are bullish"
  • ThoughtProof → BLOCK
  • MoonPay execution never happens

Example pass:

  • "Rebalance portfolio back to target allocation with defined slippage and stop-loss constraints"
  • ThoughtProof → ALLOW
  • MoonPay executes

This gives the agent stack two layers:

  • MoonPay answers: can the transaction execute?
  • ThoughtProof answers: should the transaction execute?
  • moonpay-swap-tokens — Execute the swap after verification passes
