# cardano-cli-wallets-operator
> **OPERATOR SKILL**: This skill executes commands. It requires explicit human invocation and cannot be auto-triggered by the model.
## When to use
- When you need to actually execute wallet creation commands
- After reviewing the guidance from `cardano-cli-wallets`
## Operating rules (must follow)
- Confirm network (mainnet/preprod/preview) before ANY execution
- Always create a dedicated directory for wallet files
- Set `chmod 600 *.skey` immediately after key generation
- Show the user what will be executed before running
- Verify each step succeeded before continuing
## Execution workflow
### Step 1: Confirm parameters
```
Network: [mainnet/preprod/preview]
Magic: [1 for preprod, 2 for preview, none for mainnet]
Wallet directory: [path]
```
### Step 2: Create directory
```bash
mkdir -p <wallet-dir> && cd <wallet-dir>
```
### Step 3: Generate keys (with confirmation)
```bash
# Payment keys
cardano-cli conway address key-gen \
--verification-key-file payment.vkey \
--signing-key-file payment.skey
# Stake keys
cardano-cli conway stake-address key-gen \
--verification-key-file stake.vkey \
--signing-key-file stake.skey
# Secure immediately
chmod 600 *.skey
```
### Step 4: Build addresses
```bash
# Base address
cardano-cli conway address build \
--payment-verification-key-file payment.vkey \
--stake-verification-key-file stake.vkey \
--out-file base.addr \
--testnet-magic 1 # adjust per network
```
### Step 5: Verify and report
```bash
echo "=== Wallet Created ==="
echo "Base Address: $(cat base.addr)"
ls -la *.vkey *.skey *.addr
```
## Safety / key handling
- NEVER display .skey file contents
- ALWAYS chmod 600 immediately after generation
- For mainnet: strongly recommend offline generation
- Verify directory permissions before proceeding
