Which payment protocol does this skill use?

It uses the x402 protocol for facilitator-led micropayments, specifically configured for the Base (EVM) network.

What are the prerequisites for deploying this agent?

You will need the Bun runtime, a TMDB API key, an EVM private key, and a receivable wallet address.

Is there a free tier for users of the agent?

Yes, the implementation includes free entry points for health checks and service overviews to allow users to sample the service before paying.

What is the primary purpose of Cult Film Curtis?

It serves as a reference implementation for building AI agents that provide specialized content, such as film recommendations, in exchange for micropayments.

Can I use this for content other than cult films?

Yes, the logic is highly adaptable. You can modify the TMDB keywords or replace the TMDB integration entirely with another data source while keeping the x402 payment logic.

Builds an automated movie recommendation agent that monetizes niche film content through x402 micropayments and TMDB API integration.

Cult Film Curtis is a specialized blueprint for developers creating agentic commerce applications. It demonstrates how to build a 'paid expert' agent using the Lucid Agents framework, integrating the TMDB API to provide curated cult film data. The skill implements a sophisticated tiered access model where basic health checks and overviews are free, while high-value recommendations and detailed metadata are gated behind x402 micropayments on the Base network. This is an essential pattern for anyone looking to monetize AI-driven expertise or build sustainable, pay-per-use recommendation engines.
