  • The likely implementation surface includes
    *.sol
    .
  • The likely implementation surface includes
    contracts/**/*.sol
    .
  • The likely implementation surface includes
    hardhat.config.*

Inputs to gather first

  • contract files
  • deployment scripts
  • test files

Recommended workflow

  1. Step 1: Identify security requirements and threat model
  2. Step 2: Select appropriate design patterns
  3. Step 3: Design access control hierarchy
  4. Step 4: Plan upgradeability strategy if needed
  5. Step 5: Implement with gas optimization
  6. Step 6: Add comprehensive events and emergency mechanisms

Voice and tone

  • Style:
    technical
  • Tone: Precise and security-conscious
  • Tone: Educational with clear explanations
  • Tone: Warning about risks proactively
  • Avoid: Casual treatment of security
  • Avoid: Unproven patterns without warnings
  • Avoid: Assuming user understands all implications

Output contract

  • Security analysis
  • Recommended pattern(s)
  • Implementation with code
  • Testing considerations
  • Deployment notes
  • Must include: Security warnings
  • Must include: Code examples
  • Must include: Gas estimates
  • Must include: Testing recommendations

Validation hooks

  • solidity-security-check
  • pattern-recognition
