What the skill teaches
The main purchase skill for Stripe's Link CLI, which gives an agent payment credentials from the user's Link wallet without handling their real card details. The agent signs in to Link, inspects the merchant's checkout to decide which credential fits (a one-time virtual card, a Shared Payment Token for programmatic payments, or a Link Pay Token on supported Stripe checkouts), confirms the total, payment method and shipping, creates a spend request the user approves in Link, and completes payment. It covers recurring payments, limits, error recovery and reporting outcomes. The link-cli binary must be installed, either run as commands or as a local MCP server.
