Alchemy Codex

Use this skill when the user wants to build with Alchemy in Codex but has not yet chosen how requests should be authenticated.

This skill routes to:

• alchemy-api for standard API key-based access to Alchemy JSON-RPC, Data APIs, Webhooks, and Wallets
• agentic-gateway for gateway-based access using an API key or wallet-based payment flows

Required first question

Before making a network call or implementation choice, ask:

Do you want to use an existing Alchemy API key, or should I use the agentic gateway flow instead?

Then route as follows:

• If the user chooses an API key, switch to alchemy-api
• If the user chooses the gateway flow, switch to agentic-gateway

Use this skill for

• broad Alchemy integration requests where auth is still undecided
• onboarding a developer to the right Alchemy access path
• routing requests that mention Alchemy generally rather than a specific API surface

Typical tasks after routing

• JSON-RPC reads and writes
• Token, NFT, Transfers, Prices, and Portfolio APIs
• transaction simulation and traces
• Webhooks / Notify setup
• Account Kit and wallet infrastructure
• agentic gateway access via x402 or MPP

Codex bundle notes

• Treat this as a thin Codex router skill, not a place for detailed API or payment-flow instructions
• Route implementation details to alchemy-api or agentic-gateway as soon as the auth path is clear
• When the router changes, keep the bundled copy in plugins/alchemy/skills/alchemy-codex aligned with this source skill
