usage

invoke the skill when working on tezos development:

/tezos help me build an fa2 nft contract

/tezos optimize gas in this contract

/tezos security checklist for this code

claude will load tezos-specific expertise including:

• security patterns
• token standard implementations
• gas optimization strategies
• testing approaches

what's included

smart contract guidance

• michelson, ligo, smartpy language selection
• common patterns (admin, pausable, upgradeability)
• security checklist (reentrancy, overflow, access control)

token standards

• fa1.2 implementation patterns
• fa2 multi-token standard
• fa2.1 with tickets

optimization

• gas reduction techniques
• storage optimization
• view patterns for read operations

deployment

• testing strategy (unit, integration, simulation)
• network selection (mainnet, shadownet, ghostnet)
• deployment workflow

works with

• tezos mcp server - for blockchain operations
• octez-client - official tezos cli
• ligo compiler
• smartpy compiler

networks covered

• mainnet - production
• shadownet - primary testnet (recommended)
• ghostnet - legacy testnet (deprecated)

requirements

none - this is a pure skill file. works with any claude-compatible editor.

for blockchain operations, use alongside:

• tezos mcp server
• octez-client
• ligo/smartpy compilers

examples

see examples/ directory for:

• fa2 token implementation
• nft marketplace contract
• dao governance patterns
• defi protocols
