Warden Studio

Automate publishing a Community Agent in Warden Studio through a safe, repeatable workflow that other agents can follow.

Safety & constraints (non-negotiable)

• Never request or store seed phrases / private keys.
• Never ask the user to paste secrets into chat. If an API key must be entered, instruct the user to paste it directly into the Studio UI field.
• Treat publishing/onchain registration as high-risk: confirm network, fees, and what is being signed before any wallet confirmation.
• Prefer read-only validation (checking forms, status, preview) unless the user explicitly authorizes execution (e.g., "yes, publish" / "yes, execute").
• Do not reveal any private info (local files, credentials, IPs, internal logs).
• Public comms: do not claim any affiliation or relationship unless it is publicly disclosed and the user explicitly asks you to state it.

What this skill does

Typical outcomes:

• Log into https://studio.wardenprotocol.org
• Create a new Agent submission/listing
• Provide:
  • API URL (service endpoint)
  • API key / auth method (if required)
  • Name, description, skills, avatar
  • Billing model (free vs paid per inference, in USDC)
• Pay registration fee + gas (if prompted by the UI)
• Verify the agent shows up in Studio and becomes discoverable in Warden's Agent Hub (Community tab), when applicable.

Workflow (UI automation)

0) Preconditions

1. A Chromium browser is available (Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium). (Firefox not supported.)
2. User can log in to Warden Studio (email/SSO/2FA completed).
3. The agent is already deployed somewhere and reachable via HTTPS (no UI required):
   • stable API base URL
   • (optional) API key or token if the endpoint is protected
4. Funding is ready for registration (if required by the flow):
   • USDC on Base for the registration fee (confirm the fee in the UI)
   • ETH on Base for gas

If any of the above is missing, stop and ask the user to do that step.

1) Open + stabilize Studio

• Open: https://studio.wardenprotocol.org
• Wait for the landing/dashboard to load.
• Take a snapshot and identify:
  • logged-in user / account handle
  • any "Agents" list/table or "Submit / Create agent" entry point
  • network/payment cues (e.g., Base, USDC, wallet connection state)

If Studio is gated by login, stop and ask the user to complete login in the UI.

2) Read-only checks (default)

Use these first to prevent failed submissions:

• Confirm the agent endpoint is reachable:
  • the URL is HTTPS
  • no obvious typos
  • (if a "Test connection" exists) run it
• Validate required metadata is prepared:
  • agent name (short)
  • description (clear, non-misleading)
  • skills list (concise + accurate)
  • avatar image ready (square recommended)
• Check billing/monetization options:
  • free vs per-inference (USDC)
  • expected fees shown by the UI

3) Draft the submission (no publishing yet)

Direct create page (recommended): https://studio.wardenprotocol.org/agents/create

Current “Register Agent” form fields

Fill the form top-to-bottom to match the UI sections:

1. API details

   • API URL* — your agent’s HTTPS endpoint
   • API Key — if your endpoint requires a key
     Never paste secrets into chat; enter them directly into the Studio field.

   The UI may also show helper links like “Build an agent using LangGraph” / “How it works”.

2. Info

   • Agent Name*
   • Select agent skills* — choose the relevant skill tags
   • Describe the key features of the agent* — short, accurate capability summary

3. Agent avatar

   • Paste link to add an agent avatar → Image link (URL)

4. Billing model

   • Choose how the agent charges users: Per inference or Free
   • If Per inference: Cost in USDC* (numeric)

5. Agent Preview

   • Agent name
   • Short description about your agent (max 100 characters)

6. Final action: Register agent

Navigate to the agent submission flow (or go directly to https://studio.wardenprotocol.org/agents/create), then fill fields in a deterministic order:

1. Identity

   • Agent name
   • Short tagline (if any)
   • Category (if any)

2. Capabilities

   • Description
   • Skills (keywords and/or bullet list)
   • Links (docs, GitHub, website) if requested

3. Integration

   • API URL (service endpoint)
   • Auth:
     • API key field (if present), or
     • header/token configuration (if present)

4. Branding

   • Upload avatar
   • Optional banner/images (if supported)

5. Monetization

   • Choose billing model (free vs paid/per inference) if supported
   • Review any platform/registration fee disclosures

At the end of drafting, stop and show the user a Submission Summary:

• Agent name + description (1–2 lines)
• Skills list
• API URL (domain + path)
• Auth method (mask any key/token)
• Billing model + any displayed fees

4) Publish / register (requires explicit approval)

Execution gate: Do not click the final "Publish / Register / Submit" button unless the user explicitly replies with "yes, publish" or "yes, execute" (or an unambiguous equivalent).

Before finalizing, summarize:

• What action will happen (publish/register agent listing)
• What network/payment is involved (e.g., Base; registration fee + gas, as shown in the UI)
• Any costs shown in the UI (USDC amount + estimated gas)
• What could go wrong:
  • wrong endpoint / downtime → failed validation
  • wrong billing settings
  • wallet prompt on wrong network
  • unintended fee payment

Then proceed with the final click and wallet confirmation step (user signs in their wallet).

5) Post-publish verification

After publishing/registration:

• Confirm status in Studio:
  • "Submitted", "Pending", "Published", etc.
• Capture any agent identifier or link shown (listing URL).
• Check the agent appears in Studio's Agents list.
• If the UI mentions distribution:
  • verify it appears in Warden Agent Hub → Community tab (when available)
• Record any errors verbatim and capture screenshots of:
  • validation errors
  • payment failures
  • endpoint/auth failures

Troubleshooting playbook

Common failures and fixes:

• Endpoint validation fails

  • Check HTTPS, trailing slashes, versioned paths
  • Confirm the agent server is live and not geo-blocked
  • If auth required, verify the correct key/token was entered in UI (never paste it into chat)

• Wallet/network mismatch

  • Ensure wallet is on the correct network (e.g., Base) if Studio requires it

• Insufficient funds

  • Add USDC on Base for fee and ETH on Base for gas, then retry

Building a wrapper skill other agents can use

When asked to "create a skill that lets other agents publish via Warden Studio":

1. Record the minimal repeatable workflow (URLs + UI landmarks) in references/warden-studio-ui-notes.md.
2. Keep SKILL.md stable and general; put volatile UI selectors, screenshots, and clickpaths in references.
3. Only add deterministic scripts if they reduce errors (e.g., a submission summary checklist formatter).
