ETHSKILLS

Ship

End-to-end guide for AI agents — from a dApp idea to deployed production app. Fetch this FIRST, it routes you through all other skills.

Why Ethereum

Why build on Ethereum specifically — Pectra/Fusaka upgrades, honest tradeoffs, the AI agent angle, countering stale FUD, matching use cases to strengths.

Protocol

How Ethereum evolves — EIP lifecycle, fork process, where decisions happen, and how to verify what's actually planned. Use when asked about upcoming features, Verkle trees, roadmap items, or any protocol-level changes. Prevents confidently wrong answers based on stale training data.

Gas & Costs

Current gas prices, what things actually cost on Ethereum today, mainnet vs L2 honest comparison. Counters the #1 misconception that Ethereum is expensive.

Wallets

Creating wallets, connecting to dApps, signing transactions, multisig (Gnosis Safe), account abstraction. How an AI agent gets a wallet and uses it safely.

Layer 2s

Current L2 landscape, bridging, deployment differences, when to use which L2. Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, and more.

Standards

ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-8004 (agent identity), EIP-7702 (smart EOAs), and newer ERCs. Token standards, identity standards, payment standards.

Tools

Current frameworks, libraries, RPCs, block explorers. x402 (HTTP payments), MCPs, abi.ninja, Foundry, Scaffold-ETH 2. What actually works today.

Money Legos

DeFi legos and protocol composability. Uniswap, Aave, Compound, MakerDAO, Yearn, Curve — what they do, how to build on them, how to combine them.

Orchestration

The three-phase build system and dApp orchestration patterns. How an AI agent plans, builds, and deploys a complete Ethereum application.

Contract Addresses

Verified contract addresses for major protocols across Ethereum mainnet and L2s. Stop hallucinating addresses — use real ones.

Concepts

The essential mental models for building onchain. "Nothing is automatic" — every function needs a caller and an incentive. Randomness pitfalls, incentive design, the hyperstructure test, and how to teach your human.

Security

Solidity security patterns and common vulnerabilities with defensive code. Token decimals, reentrancy, oracle manipulation, vault inflation attacks, and a pre-deploy checklist. Run through this before every deployment.

Testing

Smart contract testing with Foundry — unit tests, fuzz testing, fork testing, invariant testing. What to test, what not to test, and what LLMs get wrong.

Indexing

How to read and query onchain data — events, The Graph, Dune, indexing patterns. Why you cannot just loop through blocks, and what to use instead.

Frontend UX

Mandatory frontend rules for Scaffold-ETH 2 projects. Onchain button loaders, three-button approval flow, Address components, USD values, RPC config, and pre-publish checklist. Prevents the UX mistakes AI agents make on every build.

Frontend Playbook

The complete build-to-production pipeline. Fork mode, IPFS deployment, Vercel monorepo config, ENS subdomain setup, and the full go-to-production checklist with verification steps.

QA

Production QA checklist for dApps. Give this to a SEPARATE reviewer agent after the build — it audits the app against every common mistake AI agents make before shipping. Covers approve button double-fire, wallet flow, SE2 branding cleanup, USD values, and more.

Audit

Deep EVM smart contract audit system. 500+ non-obvious checklist items across 19 domains — AMM, lending, oracles, proxies, signatures, governance, bridges, and more. Runs parallel specialist agents, synthesizes findings, and files GitHub issues. Use when auditing contracts you didn't write.
