1. Wallet Initialization

Pattern A: Simple Wallet Setup

package main

import (
    "context"
    "log"

    "github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-wallet-toolbox/pkg/wallet"
    "github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-wallet-toolbox/pkg/storage"
    "github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-wallet-toolbox/pkg/services"
    "github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-wallet-toolbox/pkg/defs"
    sdk "github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-sdk/wallet"
    "github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-sdk/primitives/ec"
    "gorm.io/driver/sqlite"
    "gorm.io/gorm"
)

func createWallet() (*wallet.Wallet, error) {
    ctx := context.Background()

    // 1. Generate root key (or derive from mnemonic)
    rootKey, err := ec.NewPrivateKey()
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    // 2. Create key deriver
    keyDeriver := sdk.NewKeyDeriver(rootKey)

    // 3. Setup SQLite storage
    db, err := gorm.Open(sqlite.Open("wallet.db"), &gorm.Config{})
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    storageOpts := &storage.Options{
        Db:                 db,
        StorageIdentityKey: rootKey.PubKey().Compressed(),
        StorageName:        "main-wallet",
    }

    walletStorage, err := storage.NewStorage(storageOpts)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    // 4. Setup services (mainnet)
    servicesOpts := &services.Options{
        Network: defs.Mainnet,
        ArcURL:  "https://arc.taal.com",
        WocURL:  "https://api.whatsonchain.com/v1/bsv/main",
    }

    walletServices, err := services.NewServices(ctx, servicesOpts)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    // 5. Create wallet
    w, err := wallet.NewWallet(
        ctx,
        keyDeriver,
        walletStorage,
        wallet.WithServices(walletServices),

    )
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    return w, nil
}

Pattern B: Wallet with MySQL Storage

import (
    "gorm.io/driver/mysql"
    "gorm.io/gorm"
)

func createMySQLWallet(ctx context.Context, rootKey *ec.PrivateKey) (*wallet.Wallet, error) {
    // MySQL DSN
    dsn := "user:password@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/wallet_db?charset=utf8mb4&parseTime=True&loc=Local"
    db, err := gorm.Open(mysql.Open(dsn), &gorm.Config{})
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    storageOpts := &storage.Options{
        Db:                 db,
        StorageIdentityKey: rootKey.PubKey().Compressed(),
        StorageName:        "mysql-wallet",
    }

    walletStorage, err := storage.NewStorage(storageOpts)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    keyDeriver := sdk.NewKeyDeriver(rootKey)
    walletServices, err := services.NewServices(ctx, &services.Options{
        Network: defs.Mainnet,
        ArcURL:  "https://arc.taal.com",
    })
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    return wallet.NewWallet(
        ctx,
        keyDeriver,
        walletStorage,
        wallet.WithServices(walletServices),
        wallet.WithNetwork(defs.Mainnet),
    )
}

Pattern C: Testnet Wallet

func createTestnetWallet(ctx context.Context) (*wallet.Wallet, error) {
    rootKey, _ := ec.NewPrivateKey()
    keyDeriver := sdk.NewKeyDeriver(rootKey)

    db, _ := gorm.Open(sqlite.Open("testnet.db"), &gorm.Config{})
    storageOpts := &storage.Options{
        Db:                 db,
        StorageIdentityKey: rootKey.PubKey().Compressed(),
        StorageName:        "testnet-wallet",
    }
    walletStorage, _ := storage.NewStorage(storageOpts)

    // Testnet services
    walletServices, err := services.NewServices(ctx, &services.Options{
        Network: defs.Testnet,
        ArcURL:  "https://arc-test.taal.com",
        WocURL:  "https://api.whatsonchain.com/v1/bsv/test",
    })
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    return wallet.NewWallet(
        ctx,
        keyDeriver,
        walletStorage,
        wallet.WithServices(walletServices),
        wallet.WithNetwork(defs.Testnet),
    )
}

            RandomizeOutputs:       true,  // Privacy
        },
    }

    // Create action
    result, err := w.CreateAction(ctx, args)
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }

    if result.TxID != nil {
        return *result.TxID, nil
    }

6. Error Handling

Standard Error Handling

import (
    "errors"
    "github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-wallet-toolbox/pkg/defs"
)

func handleWalletError(err error) {
    if err == nil {
        return
    }

    // Check for specific error types
    var invalidParamErr *defs.ErrInvalidParameter
    if errors.As(err, &invalidParamErr) {
        log.Printf("Invalid parameter: %s - %s", invalidParamErr.Parameter, invalidParamErr.Message)
        return
    }

    var internalErr *defs.ErrInternal
    if errors.As(err, &internalErr) {
        log.Printf("Internal error: %s", internalErr.Message)
        return
    }

    // Generic error
    log.Printf("Wallet error: %v", err)
}

Transaction Error Handling

func sendWithErrorHandling(
    ctx context.Context,
    w *wallet.Wallet,
    recipient string,
    satoshis uint64,
) (string, error) {
    txid, err := sendBSV(ctx, w, recipient, satoshis)
    if err != nil {
        handleWalletError(err)

        // Check if it's a review actions error
        if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "review") {
            log.Printf("Transaction requires review")
            // Handle review flow
        }

        return "", err
    }

    log.Printf("Transaction sent: %s", txid)
    return txid, nil
}

7. Production Patterns

Wallet Manager Pattern

type WalletManager struct {
    wallet  *wallet.Wallet
    storage *storage.Storage
    mu      sync.RWMutex
}

func NewWalletManager(ctx context.Context, rootKey *ec.PrivateKey) (*WalletManager, error) {
    db, err := gorm.Open(sqlite.Open("wallet.db"), &gorm.Config{})
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    storageOpts := &storage.Options{
        Db:                 db,
        StorageIdentityKey: rootKey.PubKey().Compressed(),
        StorageName:        "managed-wallet",
    }

    walletStorage, err := storage.NewStorage(storageOpts)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    keyDeriver := sdk.NewKeyDeriver(rootKey)
    walletServices, err := services.NewServices(ctx, &services.Options{
        Network: defs.Mainnet,
        ArcURL:  "https://arc.taal.com",
    })
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    w, err := wallet.NewWallet(
        ctx,
        keyDeriver,
        walletStorage,
        wallet.WithServices(walletServices),
        wallet.WithNetwork(defs.Mainnet),
    )
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    return &WalletManager{
        wallet:  w,
        storage: walletStorage,
    }, nil
}

func (wm *WalletManager) GetWallet() *wallet.Wallet {
    wm.mu.RLock()
    defer wm.mu.RUnlock()
    return wm.wallet
}

func (wm *WalletManager) Close() error {
    wm.mu.Lock()
    defer wm.mu.Unlock()

    // Cleanup resources
    return nil
}

Retry Pattern

func sendWithRetry(
    ctx context.Context,
    w *wallet.Wallet,
    recipient string,
    satoshis uint64,
    maxRetries int,
) (string, error) {
    var lastErr error

    for attempt := 1; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++ {
        txid, err := sendBSV(ctx, w, recipient, satoshis)
        if err == nil {
            return txid, nil
        }

        lastErr = err
        log.Printf("Attempt %d failed: %v", attempt, err)

        if attempt < maxRetries {
            time.Sleep(time.Second * time.Duration(attempt))
        }
    }

    return "", fmt.Errorf("all %d retries failed: %w", maxRetries, lastErr)
}

Background Monitor Pattern

import "github.com/bsv-blockchain/go-wallet-toolbox/pkg/monitor"

func setupMonitor(
    ctx context.Context,
    walletStorage *storage.Storage,
    walletServices *services.WalletServices,
) (*monitor.Monitor, error) {
    opts := &monitor.Options{
        Storage:  walletStorage,
        Services: walletServices,
        Network:  defs.Mainnet,
    }

    m, err := monitor.NewMonitor(ctx, opts)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }

    // Start monitoring in background
    go func() {
        if err := m.Start(ctx); err != nil {
            log.Printf("Monitor error: %v", err)
        }
    }()

    return m, nil
}

How to use this skill

1

Install wallet-brc100-go by running npx skills add b-open-io/bsv-skills --skill wallet-brc100-go in your project directory. Run the install command above in your project directory. The skill file will be downloaded from GitHub and placed in your project.

2

No configuration needed. Your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) automatically detects installed skills and uses them as context when generating code.

3

The skill enhances your agent's understanding of wallet-brc100-go, helping it follow established patterns, avoid common mistakes, and produce production-ready output.

What you get

Skills are plain-text instruction files — not executable code. They encode expert knowledge about frameworks, languages, or tools that your AI agent reads to improve its output. This means zero runtime overhead, no dependency conflicts, and full transparency: you can read and review every instruction before installing.

Compatibility

This skill works with any AI coding agent that supports the skills.sh format, including Claude Code (Anthropic), Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, and other tools that read project-level context files. Skills are framework-agnostic at the transport level — the content inside determines which language or framework it applies to.

Data sourced from the skills.sh registry and GitHub. Install counts and security audits are updated regularly.
