# Cairo Toolchain

Use this entrypoint for deployment/release sequencing; load command details from references.

## When to Use

- Building and declaring class hashes.
- Deploying accounts and contracts.
- Verifying contract artifacts and release evidence.

## When NOT to Use

- Contract implementation (`cairo-contract-authoring`).
- Test suite design (`cairo-testing`).
- Pure optimization passes (`cairo-optimization`).

## Quick Start

1. Pin tool versions.
2. Run local audit gate before declare/deploy.
3. Build deterministic artifacts.
4. Declare before deploy.
5. Verify deployment outputs and provenance.
6. Store release evidence.

## Workflow

- Main deployment workflow: [default workflow](workflows/default.md)
