The agent acquires a specific AI skill file (SKILL.md) for permanent local use by discovering it in the catalog and executing a one-time USDC payment on Base.
The agent uses the 'aiskills402' MCP server to search for a desired skill using 'search_skills' or retrieve details with 'get_skill'. It verifies the price and payment requirements. Since the MCP server only facilitates discovery and does not handle payments, the agent must then use an external HTTP client with an x402 wallet to sign and submit the payment. Upon successful payment, the agent receives a token and uses 'redownload_skill' to fetch the file content for installation.
