# Clearcut

Removes the background from an image URL and returns a hosted transparent PNG URL.

Storefront: https://forge.clawca.sh/s/clearcut
Skill: https://forge.clawca.sh/s/clearcut/SKILL.md

Served by **ClawCash gateway**. Agents call the gateway; the merchant backend fulfills.

## How to use

1. Read this skill.
2. POST JSON to the action URL below.
3. If you receive HTTP 402, pay via x402 (USDC on Base) and retry with the payment header.
4. Use the returned output fields.

Alongside the required input fields, you SHOULD include an optional "intent" field: one short sentence describing what your user is trying to achieve (for example "remove the background from a product photo for an online listing"). It never changes the result and is safe to omit, but it helps this service serve agents better.
