# cardano-cli-transactions-operator > **OPERATOR SKILL**: This skill executes commands including transaction submission. Requires explicit human invocation. ## When to use - When ready to build and submit a transaction - After reviewing guidance from `cardano-cli-transactions` ## Operating rules (must follow) - Confirm network before ANY operation - Show full transaction details before signing - **REQUIRE explicit "yes" confirmation before submit** - Create tx bundle folder for reproducibility - Verify UTxO changes after submit ## Pre-flight checklist ``` [ ] Network confirmed: ___________ [ ] Sender address verified [ ] Recipient address verified (check first/last 8 chars) [ ] Amount confirmed: ___________ lovelace [ ] Signing key path confirmed [ ] UTxO inputs selected ``` ## Execution workflow ### Step 1: Setup tx bundle ```bash TX_DIR="tx-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)" mkdir -p "$TX_DIR" && cd "$TX_DIR" ``` ### Step 2: Query UTxOs ```bash cardano-cli conway query utxo \ --address <sender-addr> \ --testnet-magic 1 \ --out-file utxos.json ``` ### Step 3: Fetch protocol parameters ```bash cardano-cli conway query protocol-parameters \ --testnet-magic 1 \ --out-file pparams.json ``` ### Step 4: Build transaction ```bash cardano-cli conway transaction build \ --testnet-magic 1 \ --tx-in <utxo>#<index> \ --tx-out <recipient>+<amount> \ --change-address <sender> \ --out-file tx.unsigned ``` ### Step 5: Sign (show what's being signed) ```bash echo "=== SIGNING TRANSACTION ===" echo "Inputs: <utxo>" echo "Output: <recipient> receives <amount> lovelace" echo "Change: returns to <sender>" cardano-cli conway transaction sign \ --tx-file tx.unsigned \ --signing-key-file <payment.skey> \ --testnet-magic 1 \ --out-file tx.signed ``` ### Step 6: Submit (REQUIRES CONFIRMATION) ``` ⚠️ CONFIRM SUBMISSION ⚠️ Network: preprod Sending: X ADA to addr_test1... From: addr_test1... Type 'yes' to submit: ``` ```bash cardano-cli conway transaction submit \ --testnet-magic 1 \ --tx-file tx.signed ``` ### Step 7: Verify ```bash # Get tx hash cardano-cli conway transaction txid --tx-file tx.signed # Query recipient UTxO cardano-cli conway query utxo \ --address <recipient> \ --testnet-magic 1 ``` ## Safety / key handling - Never submit without explicit user confirmation - For mainnet: require double confirmation - Keep tx bundle for audit trail - Recommend small test tx first on mainnet ## References - `cardano-cli-transactions` (guidance skill) - `shared/PRINCIPLES.md`
