# OATDA Check Balance
Check the current OATDA account balance, total usage, and available balance. Useful before expensive image/video/LLM calls to confirm the user has enough credits.
## When to Use
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Check current OATDA credits / balance
- See total usage spent so far
- Verify there is enough budget before running a costly call (image, video, long LLM run)
- Diagnose why an OATDA call returned `402 Insufficient credits`
## Prerequisites
The user needs an OATDA API key. Check in this order:
1. `$OATDA_API_KEY` environment variable
2. `~/.oatda/credentials.json` config file
If neither exists, tell the user:
> You need an OATDA API key. Get one at https://oatda.com, then set it:
> `export OATDA_API_KEY=your_key_here`
## Step-by-Step Instructions
### 1. Resolve the API key
```bash
# Check env var first; if empty, auto-load from credentials file
if [[ -z "$OATDA_API_KEY" ]]; then
export OATDA_API_KEY=$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)
fi
# Verify key exists (show first 8 chars only)
echo "${OATDA_API_KEY:0:8}"
```
If the output is empty or `null`, stop and ask the user to configure their API key.
**IMPORTANT**:
- Never print the full API key. Only show the first 8 characters for verification.
- The key resolution script and subsequent `curl` commands **must run in the same shell session**. Either run all commands in one session, or chain them (e.g., `export OATD
