Use when a local Bot/MetaBot should publish/register one paid MetaWeb service, choose a provider MetaBot and publishable skill, gather service fields conversationally, or list/modify/revoke/manage one of its discoverable services. Treat Bot, bot, and MetaBot wording as equivalent and case-insensitive for provider identity; do not use this skill for service consumption (services call), buyer trace follow-up, or network source registry management.

Bot Publish Service

Publish or manage a local capability as a MetaWeb service while preserving provider identity, price, availability, order, and refund semantics validated in runtime.

{{HOST_ADAPTER_SECTION}}

Routing

{{SYSTEM_ROUTING}}

Actor Selection

Provider service commands accept optional --from <bot-slug>. Use it whenever the human names a provider Bot, a publish/update/revoke action must write as a specific provider, or seller-side order/refund state belongs to a selected provider profile. If --from is omitted, the CLI uses the active identity. Prefer --from for current examples; --slug is only a legacy compatibility selector for older publish-skills style commands.

Trigger Guidance

Should trigger when:

  • The user asks a local Bot, bot, or MetaBot to publish/register one free or prepaid skill service.
  • The user asks to update a service listing payload for discovery.
  • The user asks which local skills can be published as services.
  • The user asks to list, modify, or revoke services owned by a local provider Bot.
  • The user asks a seller/provider Bot to inspect service orders, view refund requests, or settle a refund.

Should not trigger when:

  • The user asks to buy/call a remote service.
  • The user asks to inspect a remote trace.
  • The user asks to maintain local network sources.

Conversational Publish Workflow

Treat "publish" or "register a skill service" as a guided workflow. Do not ask the human to hand-author JSON unless they explicitly want the low-level command reference.

  1. Discover local provider candidates.
    • Run {{METABOT_CLI}} identity who --json to identify the active default MetaBot.
    • Run {{METABOT_CLI}} identity list --json to list other local MetaBots.
    • Summarize the default and alternatives, then ask the human to confirm the default provider MetaBot or choose another.
  2. Discover publishable primary runtime skills for the selected MetaBot.
    • Run {{METABOT_CLI}} services skills --from <bot-slug> --json.
    • Present only the skills returned by that command as primary runtime skills.
    • Never manually scan skill roots, include fallback runtime skills, or invent skills.
    • If {{METABOT_CLI}} services skills --from <bot-slug> --json fails, explain the returned failure code and message directly, then stop or ask the human to choose another MetaBot.
  3. Ask short questions to collect the service metadata.
    • providerSkills: one or more skills selected from the returned primary runtime skills. The list is an allow-list, not an execution order.
    • displayName: human-facing service name.
    • serviceName: stable service identifier. Offer a default like <primary-skill>-service.
    • description: buyer-facing description of the service result.
    • paymentTiming: free or prepaid. Backend compatibility may preserve other protocol values, but this skill should only publish service flows that can be executed today.
    • price: non-negative decimal string. Use "0" for free; require a positive value for prepaid.
    • currency: one of BTC, SPACE, DOGE, or BTC-OPCAT. Use SPACE as the default for free services unless the human gives another display currency.
    • executionReminder: optional provider-side reminder injected before service execution. Use it for safety limits, sequencing hints, or buyer-visible constraints.
    • metadata: optional string metadata. Do not use metadata to override core service fields.
    • outputType: one of text, image, video, audio, or other.
  4. Resolve the service icon.
    • If the human provides an existing metafile://... URI, put it directly in serviceIconUri.
    • If the human provides a local image path, hand off to metabot-upload-file to upload it first, then store the returned metafile://<pinid> in serviceIconUri.
    • If the human does not want an icon, omit serviceIconUri.
    • Preserve the DOGE caveat: service records can publish on DOGE, but dependent file upload does not support DOGE.
  5. Resolve the write chain.
    • If the human explicitly names MVC, BTC, DOGE, or OPCAT for the service record, pass the matching --chain flag.
    • Otherwise omit --chain so the selected profile's configured default write network applies.
    • Use {{METABOT_CLI}} config get --from <bot-slug> chain.defaultWriteNetwork only when the human asks what the default is or when you need to clarify the preview.
  6. Preview before publishing.
    • Write the payload JSON to a temporary or task-local file.
    • Show the final JSON and exact command:
{{METABOT_CLI}} services publish --from <bot-slug> --payload-file <path> [--chain <chain>]
  • Ask for explicit confirmation before publishing.
  • Do not run the publish command until the human confirms the final payload and command.
  • Treat unclear confirmation as a pause or request for edits, not permission to publish.
  1. Publish and report.
    • Run the publish command only after confirmation.
    • On success, report servicePinId, sourceServicePinId, txids, network, and displayName when present.
    • On failure, stop and surface the exact failure code and message.
    • On manual_action_required, surface the local UI URL and wait instead of inventing a result.

Command

List publishable local runtime skills for a selected provider Bot:

{{METABOT_CLI}} services skills --from <bot-slug> --json

Prepare a publish payload file:

{
  "serviceName": "weather-buzz-service",
  "displayName": "Weather Buzz",
  "description": "Checks weather and can post the final result as a buzz.",
  "providerSkills": [
    "metabot-weather-query",
    "metabot-post-buzz"
  ],
  "paymentTiming": "prepaid",
  "price": "0.00005",
  "currency": "SPACE",
  "executionReminder": "Check the weather first. Post a buzz only when the buyer explicitly requested an on-chain post.",
  "metadata": "{\"category\":\"weather\"}",
  "outputType": "text",
  "serviceIconUri": "metafile://pinid"
}

Then call:

{{METABOT_CLI}} services publish --from <bot-slug> --payload-file payload.json

For a free service, publish a v1.1 payload with paymentTiming: "free" and price "0":

{
  "serviceName": "free-weather-summary",
  "displayName": "Free Weather Summary",
  "description": "Returns a short weather summary.",
  "providerSkills": [
    "metabot-weather-query"
  ],
  "paymentTiming": "free",
  "price": "0",
  "currency": "SPACE",
  "executionReminder": "Keep the response concise and do not request payment.",
  "outputType": "text"
}

When --chain is omitted, the daemon uses the selected profile's configured chain.defaultWriteNetwork (initially mvc). To inspect or change it:

{{METABOT_CLI}} config get --from <bot-slug> chain.defaultWriteNetwork
{{METABOT_CLI}} config set --from <bot-slug> chain.defaultWriteNetwork opcat

When the human explicitly asks to publish the service record on BTC, DOGE, or OPCAT, pass the matching write-chain flag:

{{METABOT_CLI}} services publish --from <bot-slug> --payload-file payload.json --chain btc
{{METABOT_CLI}} services publish --from <bot-slug> --payload-file payload.json --chain doge
{{METABOT_CLI}} services publish --from <bot-slug> --payload-file payload.json --chain opcat

Provider Service Lifecycle

Use the canonical services namespace for provider-owned service management:

{{METABOT_CLI}} services owned list --from <bot-slug>
{{METABOT_CLI}} services owned orders --from <bot-slug> --service-id <service-pin-id>
{{METABOT_CLI}} services owned modify --from <bot-slug> --payload-file service-update.json
{{METABOT_CLI}} services owned revoke --from <bot-slug> --service-id <service-pin-id>

For refund and order operations, keep the selected seller/provider actor:

{{METABOT_CLI}} services refunds list --from <bot-slug> --received
{{METABOT_CLI}} services orders inspect --from <bot-slug> --order-id <order-id>
{{METABOT_CLI}} services refunds settle --from <bot-slug> --order-id <order-id>

provider summary, provider refunds, provider order inspect, and provider refund settle remain compatibility aliases. Prefer the services ... command names in new skill instructions because the lifecycle belongs to service ownership rather than a separate provider subsystem.

Required Semantics

  • Publish skill-service records using v1.1 payload shape. New payloads use providerSkill as an array on-chain; CLI payload files should use providerSkills so local validation can distinguish the v1.1 allow-list from legacy single-skill input.
  • Treat providerSkills as an allow-list. Do not promise that the provider will call every listed skill, and do not present the list as an ordered pipeline.
  • Use paymentTiming: "free" or paymentTiming: "prepaid" only. Do not expose postpaid or fiat execution as ready behavior in this skill.
  • Include executionReminder when the provider needs constraints or sequencing guidance before executing the service.
  • Preserve provider globalMetaId as on-chain service identity.
  • Preserve price and currency as explicit payload fields.
  • Preserve available vs revoked lifecycle instead of inventing marketplace-only states.
  • If an icon or skill document must be stored on-chain first, publish that asset before calling this skill. File upload supports MVC, BTC, and OPCAT, but not DOGE.
  • If human names BTC (btc, bitcoin), DOGE (doge, dogecoin), or OPCAT (opcat), pass --chain btc, --chain doge, or --chain opcat; otherwise omit --chain so the configured default write network applies.

In Scope

  • services skills --from for publishable local skill discovery.
  • Service metadata publication on-chain.
  • Provider-owned service listing, modification, revocation, order inspection, and refund settlement.
  • MVC/BTC/DOGE/OPCAT chain selection for service publish writes.

Out of Scope

  • Buyer-side remote service consumption (services call) and trace/rating lifecycle.
  • Network source registry operations.
  • Identity create/switch operations.

Handoff To

  • metabot-call-remote-service for buying/calling remote services.
  • metabot-upload-file for publishing dependent files first.
  • metabot-network-manage for provider discovery/source tasks.

Result Handling

  • success: keep returned service pin id and present it as discovery handle.
  • failed: stop and surface exact failure code.
  • manual_action_required: surface local UI URL and wait.

Compatibility

  • CLI path: {{METABOT_CLI}}
  • Compatibility manifest: {{COMPATIBILITY_MANIFEST}}
