Topup

Top-up Skill

Answer one question — "how much do I have, and how do I add more" — and hand back a recharge link the person can click without logging in, because their own key is already in it.

Assume the person may not be technical. They came to run a browser or an agent, not to learn about public keys. Do the lookup for them; say the result in plain money.

Step 0: Is connectonion here at all?

bashCopy code
co --version

• It runs → go to Step 1.
• It does not → this machine has no co yet. Run the install-connectonion skill first (it installs co, and its co init step creates the key this skill needs), then come back here. Do not ask the user to install anything by hand — the install skill does it.

Step 1: The key that identifies this account

The recharge page fills in from the account's public key, and it lives in ~/.co. Read it — never type it, never show its full value in logs:

bashCopy code
python3 -c "from connectonion import address; from pathlib import Path; d=address.load(Path.home()/'.co'); print(d['address'] if d else '')"

• Prints a 0x… address → that is KEY. Keep it.
• Prints nothing → the account was never created. Run install-connectonion (its co init writes the key), then retry this step. On Windows use py -3 or python.

Step 2: The balance

Ask the API with the stored token — co already has it, so this needs nothing from the user. /auth/me returns balance_usd directly (credits minus what has been spent):

bashCopy code
TOKEN=$(python3 -c "from connectonion.cli.commands.project_cmd_lib import load_api_key; print(load_api_key() or '')")
BACKEND=$(python3 -c "from connectonion.backend import backend_url; print(backend_url())")
curl -s "$BACKEND/api/v1/auth/me" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Read balance_usd from the JSON. (Verified against production: /auth/me gives balance_usd; /api/v1/tokens/balance gives the raw credits_usd and total_spent_usd whose difference is the same number — use /auth/me, it does the subtraction.)

There is no co status --balance — co status only lists credential sources, not the money. The API call above is the read.

Recovery — the token names a different account. If the balance looks wrong or the call is refused, the stored token may predate a key migration. Run co auth once to refresh it, then retry. (This is the openonion/oo-api#67 case — the CLI re-authenticates itself, you just have to let it.)

Step 3: Say it in money, and in hours

Browser time is $0.10/hour. Turn the balance into something a person acts on:

Copy code
Balance: $BALANCE
That is about $HOURS hours of browser time at $0.10/hour.

HOURS = BALANCE / 0.10. Round down; a partial hour is not a promise. If the balance is zero or low, say it plainly and without alarm — the recharge link is the answer, not a warning.

Step 4: The recharge link, key already in it

Hand over exactly this, with KEY substituted — no login, no re-typing the key:

Copy code
https://o.openonion.ai/purchase?key=KEY

Tell the person: open it, pick a top-up, pay — the credit lands on this same account and both co and the browser draw from it. One balance, one link.

Set expectations about the page, because it will not match your words otherwise. The purchase page shows fixed top-up packages (currently around $0.99, $19.90, $109.90), and it is worded for API credit — it does not say "browser hours." That is not a wrong page: it is the same credits_usd browser time bills against. Tell the person plainly: the page sells credit in fixed amounts; any of them adds to the one balance, and browser time draws from it at $0.10/hour. Do not promise an arbitrary-amount field the page does not have.

The plain-language summary

Close with the money facts and nothing else — no key value, no token, no table:

Copy code
  💰  Balance:        $12.40   (~124 hours of browser time at $0.10/h)
  🔗  Add credit:     https://o.openonion.ai/purchase?key=0x10e6…5508

Adjust: balance is healthy → one calm line, still offer the link for later. Balance is empty → lead with the link, "add any amount to start." No co and the user declined to install → say the top-up needs connectonion and stop; do not fake a balance.

Notes

• One balance for everything. LLM calls (co/* models), agent email, and browser time all draw from the same credits_usd. Topping up here funds all of them — do not imply a separate "browser wallet."
• The link needs no account on our side. ?key= is the whole identity the page needs; Stripe returns the credit to that key via webhook. There is nothing to log in to.
• Never print or store the key's full value beyond the URL the user is meant to click. The summary shows a truncated form (0x10e6…5508); the link is the one place it appears in full.
• $0.10/hour is the browser rate, single session. Multi-session is an enterprise conversation, not something this skill quotes.
• The purchase page is live at https://o.openonion.ai/purchase (verified 200). The bare https://openonion.ai/purchase is not the page — always use the o. host.
