# Coinbase & Coinbase Developer Platform (landing pages) > This file is for AI agents and automated tools that fetch `https://coinbase.com/llms.txt` or `https://coinbase.com/developer-platform/llms.txt`. These pages are **product and marketing entry points**, not API references. **Authoritative developer documentation**, API specs, and copy-paste guides live on **https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com** (see the curated index below). ## How to use this file 0. **If the user wants a ready-to-paste skill for their agent to act on their behalf** (trade on a retail account, control a Base account, or pay for x402 resources): start with **[Coinbase Agent Skill](https://coinbase.com/skill.md)** — a decision tree that routes to the right MCP. 1. **If the user wants a self-custody wallet for an AI agent** (the agent holds and spends crypto, with guardrails): start with **[Agentic Wallet](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/agentic-wallet/welcome)**.

Agentic Wallet is optimized for **wallet operations and x402**; AgentKit is the broader onchain toolkit. ## Agentic Wallet (recommended first stop for “agent + wa
