LNBits Wallet wtih QR Code

• You run a self-hosted or demo LNbits instance and want to interact with it through an AI assistant without opening a browser.
• You need to generate Lightning invoices on the fly and want the QR code produced automatically alongside the payment request string.
• You want guarded payment flows — the skill decodes an invoice, checks your balance, and asks for confirmation before sending a single sat.
• You need to onboard a new wallet quickly — the skill can create a wallet on the LNbits demo server and walk you through saving your credentials safely.

• You use a different Lightning wallet backend (e.g., LND, Core Lightning, Phoenix) — this skill is LNbits-specific and will not connect to other node software.
• You need high-frequency or automated payment processing — the confirmation-first protocol is designed for human-in-the-loop use, not unattended batch payments.

Instantly retrieve your current wallet balance in Satoshis before any operation. The skill automatically checks balance prior to every payment attempt to prevent insufficient-funds errors.

Generate a Bolt11 invoice for any amount and optional memo. By default, a QR code image is produced alongside the copyable payment_request string so recipients can scan or paste immediately. Pass --no-qr to skip the image when not needed.

Convert any existing Bolt11 string into a scannable QR code image without creating a new invoice. Useful when you received a payment request externally and need a visual representation.

Before paying any invoice, the skill decodes it to surface the amount and memo, then asks for explicit Yes/No confirmation. Funds are never sent without a clear user approval step.

If you don't have an LNbits wallet yet, the skill can create one on the LNbits demo server. Credentials are printed only to your terminal — the assistant is explicitly instructed never to display your admin key in chat.

The skill enforces strict rules against exposing Admin Keys, User IDs, or Wallet IDs in the chat interface. Sensitive credentials remain in your terminal output and .env file only.

Ask the assistant to generate a 5,000 sat invoice with a custom memo. It returns the full Bolt11 string and a QR code image the payer can scan immediately — no manual copy-paste into a separate QR generator needed.

Paste a Bolt11 string into the chat. The assistant decodes it to confirm the amount and memo, checks that your balance is sufficient, asks for confirmation, and only then executes the payment — reducing the risk of accidental sends.

Quickly ask "what's my balance?" during a workflow. The assistant calls the LNbits API and reports your current Satoshi balance without requiring you to open a browser or dashboard.

New to LNbits? The skill can create a wallet on the demo server, display the setup instructions in plain language, and guide you to save LNBITS_API_KEY and LNBITS_BASE_URL securely — without ever echoing your admin key in chat.
