Skill Details

SKILL.md

"Transaction guidance: build, sign, submit patterns. Provides templates (no execution). Use operator skill to execute."

Overview

# cardano-cli-transactions

> This is a guidance skill. Provides templates and explanations. For execution, use cardano-cli-transactions-operator.

When to use

  • Learning transaction building patterns
  • Understanding UTxO selection and change
  • Getting command templates for various tx types

Operating rules (must follow)

  • Confirm network (mainnet/preprod/preview) before providing commands
  • Never executeβ€”only provide templates
  • Always include fee handling and change
  • Include verification steps

Workflow templates

Simple ADA transfer

```bash

# 1. Query sender UTxOs

cardano-cli conway query utxo \

--address \

--testnet-magic 1

# 2. Get protocol parameters

cardano-cli conway query protocol-parameters \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--out-file pparams.json

# 3. Build transaction

cardano-cli conway transaction build \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--tx-in # \

--tx-out + \

--change-address \

--out-file tx.unsigned

# 4. Sign

cardano-cli conway transaction sign \

--tx-file tx.unsigned \

--signing-key-file payment.skey \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--out-file tx.signed

# 5. Submit

cardano-cli conway transaction submit \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--tx-file tx.signed

# 6. Verify

cardano-cli conway transaction txid --tx-file tx.signed

```

Multi-output transaction

```bash

cardano-cli conway transaction build \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--tx-in # \

--tx-out + \

--tx-out + \

--tx-out + \

--change-address \

--out-file tx.unsigned

```

With native tokens

```bash

cardano-cli conway transaction build \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--tx-in # \

--tx-out "++ ." \

--change-address \

--out-file tx.unsigned

```

With metadata

```bash

cardano-cli conway transaction build \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--tx-in # \

--tx-out + \

--change-address \

--metadata-json-file metadata.json \

--out-file tx.unsigned

```

Examples

Example: Send 10 ADA on preprod

User request: "Send 10 ADA to addr_test1qz..."

Response:

```bash

# === Send 10 ADA on Preprod ===

# Setup

SENDER_ADDR="addr_test1..."

RECIPIENT="addr_test1qz..."

AMOUNT=10000000 # 10 ADA in lovelace

# 1. Query UTxOs

cardano-cli conway query utxo \

--address $SENDER_ADDR \

--testnet-magic 1

# 2. Build (using first UTxO with sufficient funds)

cardano-cli conway transaction build \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--tx-in #0 \

--tx-out "$RECIPIENT+$AMOUNT" \

--change-address $SENDER_ADDR \

--out-file tx.unsigned

# 3. Sign

cardano-cli conway transaction sign \

--tx-file tx.unsigned \

--signing-key-file payment.skey \

--testnet-magic 1 \

--out-file tx.signed

# 4. Submit (use operator skill or run manually)

# cardano-cli conway transaction submit --testnet-magic 1 --tx-file tx.signed

```

Tx bundle folder structure

```

tx-20240115-143022/

β”œβ”€β”€ pparams.json # Protocol parameters used

β”œβ”€β”€ tx.unsigned # Unsigned transaction

β”œβ”€β”€ tx.signed # Signed transaction

β”œβ”€β”€ utxos.json # Input UTxOs at build time

└── commands.log # Commands executed

```

Safety / key handling

  • Never expose signing keys
  • Verify recipient address carefully
  • On mainnet: small test transfer first
  • Keep tx bundle for audit trail
