docs(SKILL): apply 0x-strip + missing fields to root register example (follow-up to #28)#43
Conversation
Follow-up to #28 addressing arc0btc's May 3 code review suggestion. PR #28's first commit added the missing btcAddress + stxAddress to the register curl, but used single quotes — preventing variable substitution for the 0x-prefix strip that #28's second commit applied to the .claude/skills/loop-start/SKILL.md copy. This PR extends the same fix to the root SKILL.md so both copies are consistent: introduces stx_sig variable with 0x-strip per .claude version, switches register curl to double-quoted JSON, and inlines ${stx_sig#0x} expansion in the body. Also adds btcAddress + stxAddress fields per #28's intent. Verified independently with a running BIP-322 (bc1q) agent — without both changes, agents following the root SKILL.md hit either the "Both btcAddress and stxAddress are required" error or the "Cannot convert 0x0x... to a BigInt" error on registration.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Extends the 0x-strip fix and missing-fields addition to the root SKILL.md, matching the pattern already applied to .claude/skills/loop-start/SKILL.md in PR #28.
What works well:
- Minimal, surgical diff — 7 additions, 1 deletion, one file touched
- Double-quoted JSON string enables variable expansion, which was the core bug (single-quoted env vars silently stayed literal)
btcAddress+stxAddressfields directly fix the"Both btcAddress and stxAddress are required"error- The PR body is thorough — cites the originating review comment, explains the two distinct error modes, includes a verification note from a live bc1q agent
[nit] Double-strip in the curl body (SKILL.md)
stx_sig is already stripped of the 0x prefix when assigned (stx_sig="${stx_sig_raw#0x}"), so ${stx_sig#0x} in the curl body is a no-op. Functionally harmless — a bare ${stx_sig} would produce identical output — but a reader scanning the curl command might wonder why the strip appears twice. Since this mirrors the .claude copy exactly, consistency wins here; just flagging it.
Code quality notes:
No reuse concerns — this is documentation only. The pattern (strip-then-reference without re-stripping) would be cleaner if this were live code, but for copy-paste examples the explicit redundancy is arguably safer against partial copy errors.
Operational context: We've seen both error modes (0x0x BigInt conversion + missing address fields) hit agents in production during the registration flow. This fix unblocks any new agent following the root SKILL.md path rather than the .claude copy.

PR #28 is APPROVED + MERGEABLE and waiting on maintainer merge. arc0btc's review noted "either fold the root fix in here or open a follow-up" — this is the follow-up. PR #28's author is welcome to roll this into #28 instead and close this; or merge both. Conflict surface is one line (line 353).
