+## Before wallet setup
+
+For any workflow that needs a wallet, use **DISCOVER → EXPLAIN → ASK** before initializing or funding one:
+
+1. **Discover:** inspect the available wallet, custody, and secret-manager skills or tools, then safely check for an existing foc-cli wallet:
+
+   ```bash
+   npx foc-cli wallet init --json
+   ```
+
+   With no initialization method, this keeps an existing wallet unchanged and reports whether one is configured; if none exists, it reports that a method is required. Never inspect the config contents or request, read, or display a private key.
+2. **Explain:** tailor the relevant choices to what you found:
+   - Reuse an existing foc-cli wallet; never replace it automatically.
+   - A compatible secret-manager integration can provide a signing key through `--keyRef` without storing the key in foc-cli.
+   - Another wallet skill can fund the foc-cli public address even when it cannot sign foc-cli operations.
+   - If nothing suitable exists, offer a new dedicated foc-cli wallet.
+   - **Calibration** is for testing with faucet-provided tFIL and tUSDFC. **Mainnet** uses real FIL for gas and real USDFC for storage.
+   - On Calibration, offer agent-assisted faucets or show the address for user funding. On mainnet, show the address and funding instructions, then wait for the user to fund it.
+3. **Ask:** ask only for choices the environment and request have not resolved: the operation's network, wallet approach, and who will fund it. Recommend reusing a suitable existing foc-cli wallet or compatible key integration when one was found. Otherwise, for a first test, recommend Calibration, a new dedicated wallet, and agent-assisted faucet funding.
+
+Before running `wallet costs`, also ask for the storage runway if the request does not specify one; do not guess a financially relevant duration.
+
+Do not initialize or fund a wallet until those choices are resolved.
