+
+## Your Favorite Agent Can Now Use BaseMail
+
+We've open-sourced all of our agent skills in a single repo: **[dAAAb/agent-skills](https://github.com/dAAAb/agent-skills)**.
+
+One command. That's it:
+
+```bash
+npx skills add dAAAb/agent-skills
+```
+
+This works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, and [40+ other agents](https://agentskills.io/) that support the open Agent Skills format.
+

+The repo contains 15 skills across five categories:

+## Why Agent Skills Format?
+
+[Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) is an open specification by Vercel Labs. A skill is just a `SKILL.md` file (with optional scripts) that teaches an agent how to use a tool. No SDK. No vendor lock-in. Any agent that reads markdown can use it.
+
+The format is already supported by Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Junie, OpenHands, and dozens more. By publishing in this format, we're making BaseMail accessible to every AI agent ecosystem — not just OpenClaw.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Install all skills:
+
+```bash
+npx skills add dAAAb/agent-skills
+```
+
+Or pick specific ones:
+
+```bash
+npx skills add dAAAb/agent-skills --skill basemail
+npx skills add dAAAb/agent-skills --skill base-wallet
+```
+
+Your agent reads the `SKILL.md`, follows the instructions, and runs the bundled scripts. Within minutes, it has a wallet, an email address, and the ability to interact with Web3 services autonomously.
+
