Cardano Agent Skills
A comprehensive set of small, focused Agent Skills for Cardano development. Self-calibrating, safe by design, and built for Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, and other AI coding assistants.
Features
- Self-calibrating: Skills detect your installed CLI version and adapt commands automatically
- Safe by design: Risky operations require explicit human invocation
- Least privilege: Each skill has restricted tool access appropriate to its function
- Token-efficient: Compact frontmatter with progressive detail loading
- Docker fallback: Every CLI skill includes a wrapper that falls back to Docker if the binary isn't installed locally
- OpenClaw compatible: Skills include OpenClaw metadata for gating, install, and deterministic exec dispatch

MCP Provider Integration
cardano-agent-skills can optionally use MCP servers as runtime providers. When a cardano MCP server is configured, wallet queries and transaction submission route through it automatically. When it's not available, skills fall back to Koios or CLI.

- MCP (
@indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp): mainnet wallet queries + sign/submit. No tx building. - Koios (
koios-agent-wallet): any network, key-based, full tx building via MeshJS. - CLI: any network, full feature set, offline signing support.
- Docker fallback: automatic if native binaries aren't installed.
See shared/mcp-provider.md for the full provider architecture and trust model.
Optional: cardano-mcp setup
npx @indigoprotocol/cardano-mcp setup
This adds a cardano MCP server to your Claude Code / Cursor / Windsurf config. The cardano-mcp-* skills will detect it automatically.
Note:
cardano-ai(IndigoProtocol's skills layer) is an optional companion — it ships 4 skills that overlap with this repo. It is not a dependency.

Skill Design Principles
1. Self-Calibrating (Dynamic Context)
Skills that interact with CLI tools use dynamic context injection to adapt to your installed version:
---
name: cardano-cli-doctor
context:
- "!cardano-cli version"
- "!cardano-cli --help | head -40"
- "!cardano-cli conway --help 2>&1 | head -20"
---
This means the skill reads your actual CLI output before giving advice--no more hallucinated flags.
2. Safe by Design (Playbook + Operator Split)
Risky operations are split into two skills:
- Playbook (
cardano-cli-transactions): Auto-discoverable, provides guidance, templates, and explanations. Cannot execute commands. - Operator (
cardano-cli-transactions-operator): Manual invoke only (disable-model-invocation: true). Can execute commands with explicit confirmation.
3. Least Privilege (Tool Restrictions)
Each skill declares exactly which tools it can use:
---
name: cardano-cli-doctor
allowed-tools:
- Bash(cardano-cli:*)
- Bash(which:*)
- Read
---
4. Token Efficiency
- Frontmatter
descriptionis always loaded (keep it tight) - SKILL.md body loads when relevant
- Reference files load on demand
- Target: SKILL.md under 500 lines
5. Docker Fallback
Every CLI skill includes a scripts/cardano-cli.sh or scripts/hydra-node.sh wrapper that:
- Uses the native binary if installed
- Falls back to the official Docker image otherwise
- Mounts the working directory and node socket automatically
OpenClaw Operator Skills
Deterministic Exec Dispatch
Operator skills (cardano-cli-operator, hydra-head-operator) use OpenClaw's command-dispatch: tool mode to route commands directly to the Exec Tool without model invocation. This means:
- You type the command, it runs exactly what you typed
- No model hallucination of flags or parameters
- Gated by OpenClaw's exec approvals system
Allowlist-Safe Wrapper
Use scripts/oc-safe.sh as a single allowlisted entrypoint in security=allowlist mode:
# Cardano CLI via oc-safe
./scripts/oc-safe.sh cardano version
./scripts/oc-safe.sh cardano query tip --mainnet
# Hydra via oc-safe
./scripts/oc-safe.sh hydra --help
./scripts/oc-safe.sh hydra-api 4001 head
OpenClaw Fast-Secure Setup
# Apply exec approvals template
./scripts/apply-approvals.sh --local
# Preview changes without applying
./scripts/apply-approvals.sh --local --dry-run
Then in OpenClaw chat:
/exec host=gateway security=allowlist ask=on-miss
See openclaw/EXEC_APPROVALS.md for full details.
Devnet-in-a-Box (Local Cardano + Hydra + Ogmios + Kupo)
Folder: devnet-in-a-box/
Run deterministic green/red rehearsal:
cd devnet-in-a-box
./run.sh rehearsal
See devnet-in-a-box/README.md for full setup guide.
Version Compatibility
Skills are tested against:
cardano-cli10.x+ (Conway era, era-prefixed commands)cardano-node10.x+hydra-node0.20.x+aiken1.1.x+
The cardano-cli-doctor skill will detect your version and recommend the appropriate command style.
