description	Use when creating crypto or stablecoin invoices, generating payment quotes, or tracking invoice payment status with the Weave CLI.

Weave

Weave is a CLI for crypto invoicing and cross-chain payment workflows. Use this when you need to create Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDC, or USDT invoices, generate payment quotes, and monitor settlement across supported networks such as Base, Tron, and Zcash for agent workflows or operations.

Overview

Use weave for full Weave Cash invoice lifecycle workflows:

1. Create an invoice (weave create)
2. Generate payment instructions (weave quote)
3. Track settlement (weave status or weave status --watch)

Guardrails

• Crypto-to-crypto only. Do not introduce fiat currencies, fiat conversions, or fiat-denominated behavior.
• Prefer machine-readable JSON output. Use --human only when explicitly requested.
• Never expose secrets (private keys, tokens, JWTs) in outputs.
• Treat network/API calls as failure-prone and handle non-zero exits explicitly.

When Not To Use

• Do not use this skill for fiat invoice or fiat settlement workflows.
• Do not use this skill for editing Weave web UI/frontend code.
• Do not use this skill for unrelated wallet custody or private-key management tasks.
• Do not use this skill when the user wants non-Weave payment rails.

Preflight

1. Confirm CLI availability:

weave --help

2. Discover runtime token/network support before choosing assets:

weave tokens

3. If weave is missing, provide compliant install guidance and ask before running:

go install github.com/AryanJ-NYC/weave-cash/apps/cli/cmd/weave@latest
weave --help

If Go is unavailable, use npm fallback:

npm i -g weave-cash-cli
weave --help

If both Go and npm are unavailable, report the missing prerequisites.

Compliant Install Policy

• Prefer metadata.openclaw.install / metadata.clawdbot.install package-manager installs.
• Never suggest remote download commands piped directly to a shell interpreter.
• Detect and instruct; do not auto-install dependencies without explicit user approval.

Token And Network Selection

• Always trust live weave tokens output from the runtime binary.
• Do not hardcode token/network lists in reasoning.
• --receive-network is required only for receive tokens that support multiple networks.
• Network aliases are accepted (for example Ethereum|ETH, Solana|SOL, Tron|TRX when supported by runtime output).

Workflow

1) Create Invoice

Collect:

• receive-token
• amount (positive numeric string)
• wallet-address
• receive-network only when required by runtime token/network map
• optional buyer fields (description, buyer-name, buyer-email, buyer-address)

Command:

weave create \
  --receive-token USDC \
  --receive-network Ethereum \
  --amount 25 \
  --wallet-address 0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Expected JSON shape:

{
  "id": "inv_123",
  "invoiceUrl": "https://www.weavecash.com/invoice/inv_123"
}

Capture id for downstream quote/status calls.

2) Generate Quote

Collect:

• invoice-id
• pay-token
• pay-network
• refund-address

Command:

weave quote inv_123 \
  --pay-token USDT \
  --pay-network Ethereum \
  --refund-address 0x2222222222222222222222222222222222222222

Expected fields:

• depositAddress
• depositMemo (optional)
• amountIn
• amountOut
• timeEstimate
• expiresAt

3) Check Status

One-shot:

weave status inv_123

Watch mode:

weave status inv_123 --watch --interval-seconds 5 --timeout-seconds 900

Interpretation:

• Exit 0: reached terminal status (COMPLETED, FAILED, REFUNDED, EXPIRED)
• Exit 2: watch timeout (not a command failure)
• Exit 1: command/API/network/validation failure

Error Handling

When exit code is 1, surface structured stderr JSON when present. Common API-derived shape:

{
  "error": "api message",
  "status": 409,
  "details": {
    "error": "Invoice is not in PENDING status"
  }
}

If watch times out (exit 2), treat as incomplete progress, not fatal failure. Recommend extending --timeout-seconds or rerunning a one-shot weave status <invoice-id>.

Runtime Drift Rule

The installed binary and source tree can drift in token support. Always use runtime discovery (weave tokens) when deciding valid token/network combinations.
