Apeworx Skills Writing Sdks

Overview

Python library for interacting with a specific protocol (e.g., Uniswap, Aave, custom protocol).

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, verify the user has:

• uv installed (https://docs.astral.sh/uv)
• A link to Protocol's official documentation
• A link to Protocol's Github organization

Key Files

src/[protocol_name]/main.py

• Main entry point for SDK users (e.g. from protocol_name import ProtocolName; name = ProtocolName())
• Manages version-specific loading (e.g. ProtocolName(use_v2=False)
• Provides high-level API methods with Ape-enhanced method call kwargs (e.g. name.action(..., sender=me))

src/[protocol_name]/packages.py

• Wrapper classes around protocol smart contract package(s)
• Contains import system-level contract address(es) for all supported chain deployment(s) and types (used in SDK)

src/[protocol_name]/types.py

• Pydantic models and/or Abstract Base Classes (ABCs)
• Genericized to work for all supported protocol versions
• Enums for protocol states/options (using str or int variants for integration w/ contract calls)

Dependencies (partial)

dependencies = [
    "eth-ape>=0.8.0",
    ...  # Other specially-required packages for SDKs
]
