Entry Point Pattern (index.ts)

typescript

import { bankrClient } from "./bankr-client";
import { executeTransaction } from "./executor";

const INTERVAL = 60000; // 1 minute

async function runBot() {
  console.log("Starting Bankr SDK bot...");

  while (true) {
    try {
      const result = await bankrClient.promptAndWait({
        prompt: "Check ETH price",
        onStatusUpdate: (msg) => console.log("Status:", msg),
      });

      if (result.status === "completed") {
        console.log("Result:", result.response);

        // Execute transactions if returned
        if (result.transactions?.length) {
          for (const tx of result.transactions) {
            await executeTransaction(tx);
          }
        }
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Error:", error);
    }

    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, INTERVAL));
  }
}

runBot();

Choosing a Template

Need	Recommended Template
Automated recurring tasks	bot
HTTP API for mobile/web	web-service
Visual interface	dashboard
Terminal-based tool	cli
Price alerts	bot
Portfolio viewer	dashboard
Quick trades	cli

Common Files

All templates share common files. Load the x402-client-patterns skill for:

•bankr-client.ts - SDK client setup
•executor.ts - Transaction execution
•package.json - Base dependencies
•tsconfig.json - TypeScript config
•.env.example - Environment template
•.gitignore - Standard ignores

Next Steps After Scaffolding

•Install dependencies: bun install or npm install
•Configure wallet: Copy .env.example to .env and add BANKR_PRIVATE_KEY
•Fund wallet: Add USDC on Base ($1-2 recommended for API costs)
•Customize: Modify the template for your use case
•Run: bun dev or npm run dev for development
•Build: bun run build or npm run build for production
