Defi Protocol Templates

DeFi Protocol Templates

Production-ready templates for common DeFi protocols including staking, AMMs, governance, lending, and flash loans.

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to defi protocol templates
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Use this skill when

• Building staking platforms with reward distribution
• Implementing AMM (Automated Market Maker) protocols
• Creating governance token systems
• Developing lending/borrowing protocols
• Integrating flash loan functionality
• Launching yield farming platforms

Best Practices

1. Use Established Libraries: OpenZeppelin, Solmate
2. Test Thoroughly: Unit tests, integration tests, fuzzing
3. Audit Before Launch: Professional security audits
4. Start Simple: MVP first, add features incrementally
5. Monitor: Track contract health and user activity
6. Upgradability: Consider proxy patterns for upgrades
7. Emergency Controls: Pause mechanisms for critical issues

Common DeFi Patterns

• Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP): Price oracle resistance
• Liquidity Mining: Incentivize liquidity provision
• Vesting: Lock tokens with gradual release
• Multisig: Require multiple signatures for critical operations
• Timelocks: Delay execution of governance decisions

Memory-First Protocol

Retrieve prior documentation structure and content to maintain consistency. Cache generated docs to avoid regenerating unchanged sections.

# Check for prior documentation context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "documentation patterns and prior content for Defi Protocol Templates"

Storing Results

After completing work, store documentation decisions for future sessions:

python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
  --content "Documentation: API reference generated from OpenAPI spec, deployment guide updated with new env vars" \
  --type technical --project <project> \
  --tags defi-protocol-templates documentation

Multi-Agent Collaboration

Share documentation changes with all agents so they reference the latest guides and APIs.

python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
  --agent "<your-agent>" \
  --action "Documentation updated — API reference, deployment guide, and CHANGELOG all current" \
  --project <project>

Agent Team: Documentation

This skill pairs with documentation_team — dispatched automatically after any code change to keep docs in sync.
