# Aztec Development Skills

Comprehensive patterns and best practices for Aztec smart contract development.

## Subskills

Navigate to the appropriate section based on your task:

* [Workspace Setup](./workspace/index.md) - Initializing and configuring Aztec projects
* [Contract Development](./contract-dev/index.md) - Writing Aztec smart contracts
* [Contract Unit Testing](./txe/index.md) - Unit testing Aztec smart contracts with TXE

## Quick Reference

### Creating a New Project
See [Project Setup](./workspace/project-setup.md) for initializing new Aztec projects.

### Writing Contracts
Start with [Contract Structure](./contract-dev/contract-structure.md) for the basic template, then explore:
- [Storage](./contract-dev/storage.md) - State variable types
- [Notes](./contract-dev/notes.md) - Private state management
- [Cross-Contract Calls](./contract-dev/cross-contract-calls.md) - Inter-contract communication

### Testing Contracts
See [TXE Setup](./txe/setup.md) to configure your test environment, then:
- [Writing Tests](./txe/writing-tests.md) - Test patterns and assertions
- [Running Tests](./txe/test-running.md) - Compilation and execution

## Using Aztec MCP Server

For detailed API documentation and code examples beyond what's covered here, use the Aztec MCP tools:

**First, sync the repos (if not already done):**
```
aztec_sync_repos()
```

**Search for code patterns:**
```
aztec_search_code({ query: "<pattern>", filePattern: "*.nr" })
```

**List and read example contracts:**
```
aztec_list_examples()
aztec_read_example({ name: "<example-name>" })
```

**Search documentation:**
```
aztec_search_docs({ query: "<question>" })
```

**Read any file from cloned repos:**
```
aztec_read_file({ path: "<relative-path>" })
```
