signing-transactions

signing-transactions is a skill for Claude Code from tkhq/turnkey-agent-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (2,924 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for signing and sending blockchain transactions through Turnkey, a service that manages cryptographic wallets. It covers Ethereum-compatible networks, Solana, Bitcoin, and raw transaction data for other chains.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to send tokens, sign messages or transaction data, create gasless transactions, and work with EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, or other supported chains.
Why use it?
It provides a defined route for approving blockchain actions and supports sponsored transactions, where another party covers network fees, when available.

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Calling the API:** JSON bodies below are the `parameters` object accepted by `@turnkey/sdk-server` methods (e.g. `list_wallets` → `client.getWallets(...)`, `s.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

signing-transactions scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Signing Transactions

Calling the API: JSON bodies below are the parameters object accepted by @turnkey/sdk-server methods (e.g. list_walletsclient.getWallets(...), sign_raw_payloadclient.signRawPayload(...)). See the root SKILL.md for SDK setup and full endpoint-to-method mapping.

Overview

Turnkey provides three approaches to signing, from simplest to most control.

What you want to do Approach
Send ETH/tokens or SOL — simplest possible Turnkey-managed (below)
Gasless/sponsored transaction Turnkey-managed with sponsor: true (below)
Full control over EVM tx (custom gas, contracts, typed data) SDK: ethers or viem — read references/evm-examples.md
Full control over Solana tx (programs, versioned, batch) SDK: @turnkey/solana — read references/solana-examples.md
Send BTC (SegWit or Taproot) SDK: bitcoinjs-lib — read references/bitcoin-examples.md
Sign on Cosmos, Aptos, Sui, TON, Tron, or any other chain Raw payload: sign_raw_payload — read references/raw-payload-examples.md
Sign arbitrary bytes or messages Raw payload: sign_raw_payload — read references/raw-payload-examples.md

For SDK signing, Bitcoin, or raw payload signing, you must read the linked reference file — those approaches are not covered inline below.

Turnkey-managed EVM signing

Turnkey handles transaction construction, signing, broadcasting, and monitoring. Set sponsor: true for gasless transactions where Turnkey pays the fees.

Turnkey handles gas fees on your behalf (billed to the organization monthly). Note: this functionality is not available at all tiers, the human user must reach out to Turnkey support for enablement. Advise them to do so if relevant.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
