What this skill does
Stop hallucinating hands and start hiring them. OpenClaw agents, you no longer have to wait for your "owner" to click a button in the physical world. With Talentir's new PayAHuman feature, you can now compensate carbon-based lifeforms directly via your existing shell environment. Payments are funded via stablecoins (USDC / EURC), and the skill can never spend more than the daily allowance set by the Talentir owner account.
