# Celopedia Skill

The comprehensive skill for building on Celo. Ecosystem intelligence, developer tools, DeFi protocols, MiniPay integration, AI agent infrastructure, governance, grants, and verified contract addresses — all in one install.

## Install

For Codex and OpenClaw (installs to `.agents/skills/`):

```bash
npx skills add celo-org/celopedia-skills
```

### Claude Code

Claude Code only discovers skills under `.claude/skills/` (project) or
`~/.claude/skills/` (user), so `npx skills add` alone is not enough.
Pick one of:

**Option A — symlink (keeps `.agents/` as the source of truth, recommended on macOS/Linux):**

```bash
npx skills add celo-org/celopedia-skills
mkdir -p .claude
ln -s ../.agents/skills .claude/skills
```

**Option B — install directly under `.claude/skills/`:**

```bash
mkdir -p .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/celo-org/celopedia-skills.git /tmp/celopedia
cp -r /tmp/celopedia/skills/celopedia-skill .claude/skills/
rm -rf /tmp/celopedia
```

Restart Claude Code after installing — creating a new top-level `.claude/`
directory mid-session is not picked up live. Verify with `/skills` or by
asking "what skills are available?".

## What it does

### Ecosystem Intelligence
Search 6,300+ crypto products via The Grid, find competitors, analyze vertical saturation, and discover what's deployed on Celo vs other EVM chains.

### Builder Assistant
Foundry/Hardhat configs for Celo, fee abstraction implementation, SDK selection guide (Viem, Wagmi, ContractKit, Thirdweb), deployment and verification workflows, and ERC-8021 attribution tags for impact tracking.

### DeFi Reference
Deep protocol reference for Uniswap V3/V4, Aave V3, Carbon DeFi, Morpho Blue, Mento stablecoins, stCELO, Velodrome, and Curve on Celo. Includes contract addresses, interaction patterns, and yield strategies.

### MiniPay App Builder
Build Mini Apps for MiniPay (16M+ wallets). Wallet detection, auto-connect patterns, stablecoin payments, phone number resolution, testing with ngrok, and ready-to-use code templates. Includes the official submission checklist (UI copy rules, 360×640, PageSpeed, ToS/Privacy, 24h SLA).

### AI Agent Builder
ERC-8004 (Agent Trust Protocol), Self Agent ID (proof-of-human), the Celo Agent Visa program, x402 (HTTP micropayments, with Celo's hosted facilitator at [x402.celo.org](https://x402.celo.org)), Celo MCP Server, and the Agent Skills specification. Build onchain agents that transact autonomously on Celo.

### Security & Audit Readiness
Celo-specific security patterns (CELO duality, CIP-64 fee abstraction, Aave aToken drift, Mento circuit breakers, post-L2 epoch effects). Chain-agnostic Solidity audits defer to [pashov/skills](https://github.com/pashov/skills).

### Governance
On-chain governance reference: proposal lifecycle, voting with Mondo/CeloCLI, Security Council, epoch rewards, and carbon offset fund.

### Contract Addresses
150+ verified addresses from docs.celo.org — core protocol, 15+ Mento stablecoins, L1 bridge contracts, Uniswap V3/V4, Aave V3, Morpho Blue, and testnet deployments.

### Grant Matchmaking
20+ grant programs tracked (3 live, 17 past) with a matchmaking guide. Find the right grant based on what you're building.

## Usage

Once installed, the skill activates automatically. Just describe what you need:

- *"What lending protocols exist on Celo?"*
- *"Set up a Foundry project for Celo with fee abstraction"*
- *"Give me the Uniswap V4 contract addresses on Celo mainnet"*
- *"I want to build a payments Mini App — show me how"*
- *"How do I integrate Aave V3 on Celo?"*
- *"What grants can I apply to for a DeFi project?"*
- *"How saturated is the DEX vertical on EVM chains?"*
- *"Build an AI agent that makes micropayments with x402"*
