Injective CLI, Skill Guide

Overview

Use the injectived binary to query and transact against an Injective chain with consistent wallet handling, endpoint selection, and gas configuration. Use the bundled CLI command map and reference docs to find the right subcommands and flags quickly. By invoking any script in this skill, you agree to the Terms of Use in TERMS_OF_USE.

Workflow

1) Locate or install the binary

Use a local injectived binary if possible. If it is not on PATH,

npm i -g injective-core@latest

One-time commands can be run via npx injective-core, example: npx injective-core --version. The rest of documentation will use injectived as a reference.

2) Use the CLI against the chain

Spot check critical paths (for example query, tx, keys) by running injectived <path> --help.

3) Refresh the CLI command map (as needed)

The command map should track the installed injectived binary. If you suspect a discrepancy between docs and the local binary, regenerate the map using the script in scripts/ and diff it against the current map.

Example:

python3 scripts/map_injectived_cli.py --output /tmp/injectived-cli-map.new.md
diff -u references/injectived-cli-map.md /tmp/injectived-cli-map.new.md

Account and Endpoint Conventions

• Use ~/.injectived as the home dir for config and key material, unless overridden by user.
• Read endpoint and chain-id from ~/.injectived/config/client.toml (fields: node, chain-id).
• Use these defaults when configuring the client:
  • mainnet endpoint: https://sentry.tm.injective.network:443
  • mainnet chain-id: injective-1
  • testnet endpoint: https://testnet.sentry.tm.injective.network:443
  • testnet chain-id: injective-888
• Keyring handling:
  • Default behavior uses a passphrase-protected file keyring.
  • If the keystore prompts for a passphrase, pipe it in:
    • yes "passphrase" | timeout 10s injectived tx ... (one-off/manual passphrase entry pattern)
    • cat ~/.injectived/keystore_password.txt | timeout 10s injectived tx ... (opt-in stored passphrase)
  • Agent behavior for persisted passphrase files:
    • Use ~/.injectived/keystore_password.txt only when the user explicitly opts in to storing the passphrase on disk.
    • Treat this as sensitive local secret material (file mode 600), and do not print passphrase contents in command output or logs.
    • Keep timeout 10s on keyring-touching commands to prevent hangs while waiting for unlock input.
  • --keyring-backend test is available and skips passphrase prompts, but it is not safe and leaves private keys exposed. Use only for local, disposable workflows.
  • Raw Ethereum private key import/export uses unsafe commands:
    • injectived keys unsafe-export-eth-key <key_name>
    • injectived keys unsafe-import-eth-key <key_name> <hex_private_key>
  • These commands are marked unsafe, but they are the required path for raw HEX private key workflows.
  • Never share raw HEX private keys in open channels or public communication.
• Ledger signing:
  • Use --ledger flag on Ledger-backed transactions.
  • Example:
    • injectived tx bank send <from> <to> <amount> --ledger --chain-id injective-1 --gas auto --gas-prices 160000000inj --yes
• Use --yes on transactions to skip interactive confirmation.
• Use --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --gas-prices 160000000inj for fee estimation.
• After broadcasting, verify with injectived q tx <tx_hash>.
• When creating a new keystore, store the passphrase in ~/.injectived/new_keystore_password.txt, remind the user to remember it, and delete the file after use.
