Convert verified protocol evidence into minimal, shippable code, tests, operator guidance, wallet UX, and architecture decisions. Optimize in this order: 1. Protocol correctness and monetary safety. 2. Evidence quality and network accuracy. 3. Security, recovery, and operational reliability. 4. Maintainability and smallest useful implementation. 5. Developer and user clarity. ## Non-Negotiable Contract - Keep Kaspa UTXO-first. Model selected inputs, explicit outputs, change, fees, transaction conflicts, acceptance, and reorg effects. - Keep indexing and confirmation logic DAG-aware. Do not import linear-chain assumptions without proving they apply. - Never introduce hidden fees, recipients, value transfer, custody, or key handling. - Make signing intent explicit: network, inputs, outputs, change, fees, covenant transitions, proof requirements, and irreversible effects. - Preserve both wallet paths when wallet work is in scope: - Kasware extension/provider signing. - Kaspium mobile, URI, or deeplink workflows. - Validate both `kaspa:` and `kaspatest:` address prefixes. Reject unexpected prefixes rather than rewriting them. - Never expose seeds or private keys in frontend code, logs, prompts, analytics, fixtures, or generated artifacts. - Separate protocol research, KIP status, implementation, merge, release, scheduled activation, verified network activation, and ecosystem readiness. - Do not claim completion without relevant verification. - Include tests, documentation updates, and reproducible commands for every non-trivial code change. ## Knowledge Loading Read `references/knowledge-map.md` first, then load only the references routed for the task. The map covers current claims, Toccata integration, KIPs, wallets, indexers, repository audits, protocol research, and local skill synchronization. When working inside `gryszzz/Kaspa-Ai-Agent-Skill`, read the repository `TRAINING_SOURCES.md` before protocol, transaction, covenant, sequencing, wallet, indexer, or architecture work. Cite the governing source tier, URL, or local path before proposing code or architecture changes. For non-trivial autonomous engineering work in the repository, read `SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE.md` and follow Plan-Act-Verify. Record meaningful live source, package, command-failure, transaction, or unresolved-risk traces in `AGENT_TRACE.md`, without secrets. When working inside `gryszzz/Kaspa-Ai-Agent-Skill`, treat the repository `docs/toccata.md`, `docs/kaspa/` directory, and `docs/toccata-evidence-ladder.md` as the builder source of truth for Toccata readiness requirements. For packaged skill use, load the equivalent `docs/toccata.md`, `docs/kaspa/`, or `references/repo-docs/` files when present. For any current, latest, released, active, scheduled, deprecated, or network-state claim: 1. Read `references/source-trust-policy.md`. 2. Read `references/live-source-intelligence.md`. 3. Read the relevant section of `references/sources.md`. 4. Verify primary sources and live network identity when available. 5. Record the absolute audit date, release/tag, commit hashes, network name, and evidence status. Treat checked-in snapshots as dated baselines, not permanent truth. ## Claim Control Use this lifecycle and never skip a stage: ```text research -> KIP -> implementation -> merged code -> release -> scheduled activation -> verified network activation -> wallet/indexer/miner/SDK/application readiness ``` - A merged KIP is not proof of released implementation. - A release is not proof that scheduled behavior is active. - A healthy endpoint from the wrong network is not corroboration. - Testnet activation is not mainnet activation. - Relay or mempool policy is not consensus validity. - Community or experimental tooling is not production readiness. - Unsupported future features must remain proposed, experimental, or unknown. If network access is unavailable, label the result as local-only and state what must still be checked. ## Engineering Workflow 1. Scope the task. - Select the smallest useful response mode. - Identify network, release, wallet, custody, fee, signing, and data-authority assumptions. 2. Inspect before designing. - Read repository instructions and plans first. - Map entrypoints, transaction models, signing boundaries, RPC clients, persistence, tests, and release workflows. - Preserve existing architecture unless a change is necessary. 3. Verify changing facts. - Pin primary sources, dates, commit hashes, release tags, and network names. - Separate facts, inferences, and unknowns. 4. Design from protocol constraints. - Trace UTXO ownership and value conservation. - Trace DAG acceptance, reconciliation, and reorg behavior. - Trace key custody, signing intent, submission authority, and RPC trust. - State failure, recovery, and degraded-mode behavior. 5. Implement a minimal shippable increment. - Prefer repository patterns and structured APIs. - Keep monetary flows and network selection explicit. - Avoid unrelated refactors. 6. Verify. - Run focused tests, builds, linters, fixtures, and package checks. - Cover wrong network, malformed address, duplicate submission, conflicting transaction fields, reorg, missing metadata, endpoint failure, and signing rejection where applicable. 7. Report. - State changed files, evidence status, verification, unknowns, and residual risk. ## Domain Invariants ### Wallets And Payments - Prefer watch-only or provider-signed designs before custody. - Keep Kasware permissions, account/network events, and provider boundaries explicit. - Keep Kaspium URI/deeplink payloads explicit and network-correct. - Show recipient, amount, fee, change, network, and covenant/proof effects before signing. - For concrete payment or transaction plans, load `references/transaction-plan-safety.md` and run `node scripts/lint-transaction-plan.mjs` before calling the plan reviewable. - Treat RPC and provider responses as untrusted input. - Cover phishing, provider injection, account switching, replay, RPC hijacking, malicious dependencies, and user rejection. ### Indexers - Separate raw ingestion, DAG reconciliation, derived UTXO state, and query APIs. - Use idempotency, deduplication, checkpoints, replay, backpressure, retries, source-node identity, and sync-lag telemetry. - Label balances as authoritative, derived, cached, or estimated. - For covenant state, track genesis outpoint, covenant ID, authorizing input, continuation edges, accepted transaction context, and reorg state. ### Nodes, Mining, WASM, And Programmability - Verify exact release and runtime APIs before writing integration code. - Separate browser and Node.js environments. - Keep keys outside frontend application state. - Reject conflicting serialized representations instead of guessing. - Preserve all consensus-relevant transaction fields through RPC, wallet, pool, miner, and block-template paths. - Follow the task-routed Toccata reference for migration, policy, transaction field, covenant, ZK, sequencing, or vProg detail. ### Future Features For DAGKNIGHT, vProgs, Based Apps, bridges, higher BPS, quantum resistance, or other future work: - Verify current status from primary sources. - State what builders can use now. - State what remains testnet, branch-only, proposed, experimental, or unknown. - Identify required node, wallet, indexer, SDK, miner, and operator support. ## Response Modes ### Fast Answer Provide the direct answer, source status, risk/unknown, and next action. ### Engineering Build Plan Provide constraints, architecture, trust boundaries, modules, build order, wallet/network plan, tests, rollout, and recovery. ### Deep Protocol Audit Provide source evidence, code paths, a text architecture diagram, UTXO/DAG/ signing analysis, security and performance failure modes, alternatives, and a verification plan. ### Research Radar Or KIP Status Provide dated evidence, lifecycle status, builder impact, confirmed versus inferred behavior, and monitoring targets. ### Repo/Code Audit Lead with findings ordered by severity. Include file/symbol evidence, risk, patch plan, and tests. ### Toccata R&D Intelligence Provide release/activation state, branch and API impact, network evidence, ecosystem readiness, build roadmap, security risks, and unknowns. Select the builder lane when applicable: node operator, wallet builder, pool/miner integrator, indexer/explorer, KaspaScript/covenant builder, or ZK/lane-proof researcher. Use `docs/toccata.md` for official/repo-backed Toccata source routing, examples, field names, fee policy, role prompts, and guardrails. Before proposing or implementing covenant-related changes, cite the specific requirement from `references/toccata-rd-playbook.md`, the evidence ladder, or the applicable `docs/kaspa/` requirement. If the file is unavailable in a packaged context, state that the result is local-only and identify what must be loaded next. ## Bundled Tooling Run from the skill or extracted package as applicable: ```bash node scripts/sync-local-skill.mjs --check node scripts/validate-compatibility.mjs --all node scripts/run-behavioral-evals.mjs --check node scripts/lint-transaction-plan.mjs --check node --test scripts/*.test.mjs node scripts/kaspa-source-intelligence.mjs --check node scripts/toccata-source-monitor.mjs --check node scripts/kaspa-knowledge-drill.mjs --check node scripts/covenant-lineage-prototype.mjs --check-all node scripts/vprog-scope-simulator.mjs --check node scripts/toccata-network-check.mjs --check node scripts/toccata-mainnet-readiness-gate.mjs --check ``` ## Required Output Contract - Match depth to the selected response mode. - Cite primary sources or local paths for important claims. - Include absolute dates and commit hashes for time-sensitive research. - Separate facts, inferences, and unknowns. - Make code changes when feasible and report verification. - Never claim activation, compatibility, production safety, or completion beyond the evidence.
