Version check (auto-injected)
AI Agent Instruction: Run this version check before executing any commands from this skill. If an update is applied, re-read this SKILL.md before proceeding — the instructions may have changed.
When a user signals they are new or just installed this plugin — e.g. "I just installed compound", "how do I get started with Compound", "what can I do with this", "help me use Compound" — do not wait for them to ask specific questions. Proactively walk them through the Quickstart in order, one step at a time, waiting for confirmation before proceeding to the next:
Check wallet — run onchainos wallet addresses --chain 8453. If no address, direct them to connect via onchainos wallet login. Do not proceed to write operations until a wallet is confirmed.
Check balance — run onchainos wallet balance --chain 8453. If zero, explain they need USDC or WETH on Base (or whichever chain they want to use) before supplying.
Pick a market — run compound-v3 --chain 8453 get-markets to show current rates. Explain the two roles: Lender (supply to earn APR) and Borrower (supply collateral then borrow the base asset).
Preview first — run the supply command without --confirm so they see the preview before any on-chain action. Confirm the market, asset, and amount with the user before proceeding.
Execute — re-run with --confirm.
Do not dump all steps at once. Guide conversationally — confirm each step before moving on.
Quickstart
New to Compound V3? Follow these steps to go from zero to earning yield or borrowing in minutes.
Your wallet address is used for all on-chain operations. All signing is done via onchainos — no private key export or manual transaction construction required.
Compound V3 is a single-asset lending market. Each market has one base asset (what you borrow or earn yield on) and supports several collateral assets:

Step 3 — Browse market rates
compound-v3 --chain 8453 get-markets
Shows supply APR (what lenders earn), borrow APR (what borrowers pay), utilization, and total supply/borrow. No wallet needed.
Step 4 — Earn yield (supply base asset)
Supply USDC directly to earn the supply APR. No collateral needed.
Tip: Always run commands without--confirm first — this shows a safe preview with the exact transactions that will be submitted. Re-run with --confirm to execute.
Architecture
Read ops (get-markets, get-position) → direct eth_call via public RPC; no confirmation needed
Write ops (supply, borrow, withdraw, repay, claim-rewards) → after user confirmation, submits via onchainos wallet contract-call

ℹ️ Market availability: weth is supported on Base and Arbitrum. usdc.e (bridged USDC) is Arbitrum-only. Polygon only supports usdc. usdt is not a Comet base asset on any chain.
Pre-flight Checks
Before executing any write command, verify:
Binary installed: compound-v3 --version — if not found, install the plugin via the OKX plugin store
Wallet connected: onchainos wallet status — confirm wallet is logged in and active address is set
Chain supported: target chain must be one of Ethereum (1), Base (8453), Arbitrum (42161), Polygon (137)
If the wallet is not connected, output:
Please connect your wallet first: run `onchainos wallet login`
Commands
quickstart — Check state and get a guided next step
How it works: Queries the Comet contract for balanceOf (supply balance) and borrowBalanceOf (borrow balance) for the given wallet, in parallel. Emits a single JSON with a status field plus a ready-to-run next_command. Tolerates transient RPC errors (treats as 0).
Parameters:
--wallet <ADDRESS> (optional) — Query a specific wallet instead of the connected onchainos wallet
get-position --collateral-asset <X> to inspect health, then repay
earning
Supplying base asset, no active borrow
get-position to view accrued interest; claim-rewards if COMP available
new_user
No Compound V3 position on this market
get-markets to browse current APRs
Agent flow: Run first for any new/returning user before supply or borrow. Relay status and suggestion to the user, then execute next_command (or let the user decide). Note: this command reports on a single (chain, market) pair — use the default (8453/usdc, Base USDC) or pass --chain and --market to target a different one.
Reads utilization, supply APR, borrow APR, total supply, and total borrow directly from the Comet contract. No wallet needed.
Display only these fields from output: market name, utilization (%), supply APR (%), borrow APR (%), total supply (USD), total borrow (USD). Do NOT render raw contract output verbatim.
Returns supply balance, borrow balance, and whether the account is collateralized. Read-only; no confirmation needed.
Display only these fields from output: wallet address, supply balance (token units + USD), borrow balance (token units + USD), collateralized status (true/false). Do NOT render raw contract output verbatim.
supply — Supply collateral or base asset
Supplying base asset (e.g. USDC) when debt exists will automatically repay debt first.
min_borrow_amount in preview output: Every borrow preview (and dry-run) includes the market's baseBorrowMin as min_borrow_amount. Show this value to the user. On most markets (Base USDC, Arbitrum WETH) it is negligible (<0.01 of the base asset). On Arbitrum USDC.e it is ~100 USDC.e — attempting to borrow less will fail with NotCollateralized even with sufficient collateral.
NotCollateralized error: This error means the borrow would put the account below the collateral requirement. The two most common causes are:
Insufficient collateral value: the collateral supplied is worth less than the required margin. Supply more collateral.
Below baseBorrowMin (Arbitrum USDC.e only): the requested borrow is smaller than the market's minimum position size (~100 USDC.e). Increase the borrow amount.
The error message includes the market's baseBorrowMin to distinguish between these cases. Use get-position to check current collateral value.
repay — Repay borrowed base asset
Repay uses Comet.supply(base_asset, amount). The plugin reads borrowBalanceOf and uses min(borrow, wallet_balance) to avoid overflow revert.
Rewards are claimed via the CometRewards contract. The plugin checks getRewardOwed first — if zero, it returns a friendly message without submitting any transaction.
# Preview (no --confirm — shows what would happen and exits)
compound-v3 --chain 1 --market usdc claim-rewards
# Execute on-chain (requires --confirm)
compound-v3 --chain 1 --market usdc --confirm claim-rewards --from 0xYourWallet
# Dry-run (shows calldata without submitting)
compound-v3 --chain 1 --market usdc --dry-run claim-rewards
Execution flow:
Pre-check: call CometRewards.getRewardOwed(comet, wallet). If 0, return "No claimable rewards."
Show reward amount to user (preview mode — no --confirm)
supply = repay when debt exists
Supplying the base asset (e.g. USDC) automatically repays any outstanding debt first. The plugin always shows current borrow balance and explains this behavior.
borrow = withdraw base asset
In Compound V3, Comet.withdraw(base_asset, amount) creates a borrow position when there is insufficient supply balance. The plugin distinguishes borrow from regular withdraw by checking borrowBalanceOf.
repay overflow protection
Never use uint256.max for repay. The plugin reads borrowBalanceOf and uses min(borrow_balance, wallet_balance) to prevent revert when accrued interest exceeds wallet balance.
withdraw requires zero debt
Attempting to withdraw collateral while in debt will revert. The plugin checks borrowBalanceOf and blocks the withdraw with a clear error message if debt is outstanding.
baseBorrowMin — minimum position size
Every Compound V3 market enforces a minimum borrow size (baseBorrowMin). Attempting to open a borrow position below this threshold fails with NotCollateralized() even if the account has sufficient collateral. The borrow preview always includes min_borrow_amount so agents can surface this to users upfront. Minimums vary significantly by market:
Base USDC, Base WETH, Arbitrum WETH: baseBorrowMin is negligible (<0.01 of the base asset) — collateral coverage is the real constraint
Arbitrum USDC.e: baseBorrowMin is ~100 USDC.e — the minimum position size is large enough to be a meaningful barrier
supply balance shows 1-2 raw units less than supplied — this is normal
When supplying the base asset (e.g. 1 USDC), new_supply_balance may display as 0.999999 instead of 1.000000. This is caused by Compound V3's interest-index accounting: the supplied amount is stored as principal (amount × 1e15 / supplyIndex), and converting back to face value rounds down by 1 raw unit. No funds are lost. Do not surface this to the user as an error or discrepancy — tell them their supply was successful and the tiny rounding difference is expected Compound V3 behaviour.
Confirm Gate
All write operations (supply, borrow, repay, withdraw, claim-rewards) require --confirm to execute on-chain. Without --confirm, the command prints a JSON preview of what would happen and exits. This is the default safe mode.
⚠️ There is no --force flag. The only execution flag is --confirm. If you see documentation elsewhere referring to --force, it is outdated — ignore it.
