Overview of venly-automation skill

What venly-automation does

venly-automation is a Claude skill for automating Venly operations through Composio’s Rube MCP interface. Instead of hard-coding Venly API calls, the skill teaches the agent to discover the current Venly tools with RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS, verify the Venly connection, and then execute the right Rube tool with the current schema.

Use it when you want an AI agent to help with Venly-related workflow automation, especially where tool names, required fields, or execution plans may change over time.

Best-fit users and tasks

The venly-automation skill is best for builders who already use Claude with MCP tools and need structured help operating Venly through Composio. It is useful for tasks such as preparing wallet, NFT, transaction, or account-related Venly workflows when the exact available operation should be discovered at runtime.

It is not a standalone Venly SDK, a replacement for Venly documentation, or a general blockchain automation framework. Its value is in making the agent follow the correct Rube MCP pattern before taking action.

Key differentiator: discover tools first

The most important behavior in this skill is mandatory tool discovery. The skill explicitly instructs the agent to call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first for the specific Venly task, instead of guessing tool slugs or input schemas from memory.

That matters because MCP tool schemas can change. For production-like automation, stale assumptions are a bigger risk than slow setup. venly-automation favors current schemas and connection checks over fast but brittle prompting.

How to Use venly-automation skill

venly-automation install and setup context

Install the skill in a compatible Claude skills environment, for example:

npx skills add ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills --skill venly-automation

Then configure Rube MCP in your client by adding:

https://rube.app/mcp

Before expecting useful output, confirm that RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS is available. The skill also requires an active Venly connection through RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit venly. If the connection is not active, the agent should follow the returned authorization link and confirm the status before running Venly operations.

Inputs the skill needs from you

A weak request is: “Automate Venly.”

A stronger request gives the agent enough context to search the right tool schema:

“Use venly-automation for Workflow Automation. I need to create a Venly workflow that checks whether my Venly connection is active, discovers tools for listing wallets, and returns the exact required fields before executing anything. Do not guess tool names; use RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first.”

For execution tasks, include the goal, environment, whether this is read-only or action-taking, known identifiers such as wallet IDs or NFT contract details, and any safety boundary such as “preview only,” “do not submit transactions,” or “ask before write operations.”

Practical venly-automation usage workflow

A good venly-automation usage flow is:

1. Ask the agent to read the skill and identify the intended Venly task.
2. Have it call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS with a specific use case, not a generic query.
3. Check the Venly connection with RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS.
4. Review the returned tool slug, schema, execution plan, and pitfalls.
5. Execute only after required fields and side effects are clear.
6. Ask the agent to summarize what was called and what remains unverified.

This pattern is especially important for blockchain-adjacent operations where a wrong parameter or premature action can create irreversible consequences.

Repository files to inspect first

This skill is compact: the important implementation guidance is in SKILL.md under composio-skills/venly-automation. There are no extra scripts/, resources/, rules/, or metadata.json files in the skill directory, so do not expect bundled helper code or reusable examples beyond the core MCP workflow.

Read SKILL.md first for prerequisites, setup, tool discovery, and the core workflow pattern. Then use the linked Composio Venly toolkit documentation when you need broader Venly capability context.

venly-automation skill FAQ

Is venly-automation enough without Rube MCP?

No. venly-automation depends on Rube MCP. The skill assumes RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS and RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS are available. If your client cannot connect to MCP servers, or if your Rube MCP setup is missing, this skill will not be able to perform the intended workflow.

How is this better than an ordinary prompt?

An ordinary prompt may produce plausible Venly steps, but it can easily invent tool names or use outdated schemas. The venly-automation skill gives the agent a safer operating pattern: discover tools first, check the Venly connection, inspect current schemas, and only then proceed.

That makes it better for real automation than a one-off prompt, especially when exact MCP tool inputs matter.

Is this beginner-friendly?

It is beginner-friendly for users who understand how to add an MCP server and authorize a toolkit connection. It is less suitable for someone who has never configured Claude tools, MCP servers, or third-party app connections.

If you are new, start with a read-only goal such as discovering available Venly tools and checking connection status before attempting write operations.

When should I not use this skill?

Do not use venly-automation when you need a full custom Venly application, direct SDK integration, or offline code generation with no MCP access. Also avoid it for high-risk transaction execution unless your workflow includes human review, explicit confirmation, and clear rollback or audit expectations.

How to Improve venly-automation skill

Give venly-automation stronger task framing

The skill performs best when your prompt names the exact Venly outcome and the execution boundary. Instead of saying “manage my wallet,” say:

“Use venly-automation to discover the current Rube tools for retrieving Venly wallet details. Check the venly connection first. Return the required schema and ask before calling any tool that changes state.”

This improves results because the agent can search for a targeted use case and separate read-only discovery from action-taking.

Reduce common failure modes

The most common failure mode is skipping discovery and guessing a tool. Prevent that by explicitly requiring RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS before any Venly operation. Another failure mode is trying to run a workflow before the Venly connection is active; require a RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS check early.

For sensitive operations, add a confirmation rule: “Do not execute write, mint, transfer, or transaction-submitting tools until I approve the exact payload.”

Iterate after the first output

After the first result, ask the agent to show the discovered tool slug, required fields, optional fields, missing inputs, known pitfalls, and whether the operation is read-only or state-changing. This turns the first answer into an execution checklist instead of a black-box tool call.

If the returned schema is unclear, ask for a second RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS query with a narrower use case rather than forcing the agent to improvise.

Add local guardrails for production workflows

For team use, wrap venly-automation in your own operating rules: require session IDs to be reused where appropriate, log tool calls, separate staging from production Venly resources, and require approval before irreversible actions.

The upstream skill is intentionally lightweight, so production quality depends on the prompts, review process, and environment controls you add around it.
