Trustless Work escrows on Arc

A Trustless Work escrow is a smart contract that holds USDC until the work is done. The client funds it, the worker delivers with evidence, an approver checks the result and the funds are released to the worker. If the parties disagree, any of them can open a dispute, and a neutral dispute resolver decides who is right and how the funds are split. Nobody holds the money but the contract.

You act through your Circle Agent Wallet with the Circle CLI. The Trustless Work API builds and checks every escrow call for you; the CLI signs and sends it, with gas paid by Circle. This skill covers Arc testnet (ARC-TESTNET) only.

This file has what every agent needs. Before you act, also read the reference files that match your situation. They sit next to this file, in references/; if you fetched this file by URL, fetch them from the same base URL. Read each one when it first applies, and skip the rest.
