Asked it to wire up a keyless, wallet-paid x402 RPC call with no Quicknode API key. Baseline (general x402 knowledge only) got the protocol right but had to guess at Quicknode's actual gateway domain and package name; the skill-guided answer pulled the exact, verified specifics (package @quicknode/x402, baseUrl https://x402.quicknode.com, eip155 network IDs, $0.001/call pricing, testnet 1M-credit cap vs uncapped mainnet) plus its own explicit 'never accept private keys or secret keys' guard rail, straight from references/x402-reference.md.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5
