Workflow

Step 1: Understand Request

Analyze user request to determine:

• Contract type (token, NFT, DeFi, DAO, etc.)
• Features needed (mintable, burnable, etc.)
• Security requirements
• Target network (testnet/mainnet)

Step 2: Search Knowledge Base

Code Snippets:

python3 .shared/stacks-agent/scripts/search.py "<query>" --domain <domain>

Production Examples (v2.0):

python3 .shared/stacks-agent/scripts/search.py "how to swap" --examples
python3 .shared/stacks-agent/scripts/search.py "marketplace" --domain nfts --examples
python3 .shared/stacks-agent/scripts/search.py "token" --difficulty beginner --examples

With Relationships (v2.0):

python3 .shared/stacks-agent/scripts/search.py "swap tokens" --include-relationships

Available domains:

• clarity - Clarity syntax and functions
• templates - Contract templates
• security - Security patterns
• defi - DeFi protocol integrations (swaps, liquidity, oracles)
• nfts - NFT operations (minting, marketplace, royalties)
• tokens - Token operations (SIP-010, vesting, allowances)
• auth - Authentication (wallet connect, JWT, sessions - No Gaia)
• stacksjs - Stacks.js code snippets
• bns - BNS operations
• stacking - PoX stacking
• oracles - Pyth Network price feeds
• deployment - Deployment guides
• auto - Auto-detect domain (default)

Step 3: Generate Code

Based on search results:

1. Select appropriate template
2. Customize for user requirements
3. Apply security patterns
4. Add proper error handling
5. Include comprehensive comments

Step 4: Security Review

Check generated code against security-patterns.csv:

• Access control (tx-sender validation)
• Arithmetic safety (overflow/underflow)
• Error handling (try! unwrap!)
• Input validation (asserts!)
• Reentrancy prevention
• Network trait compatibility

Step 5: Provide Deployment Instructions

Include network-appropriate deployment steps from deployment.csv.

Example Usage

Example 1: Create Meme Token

User: "Create a meme token called PEPE with 1 billion supply"

Workflow:

1. Search templates: python3 scripts/search.py "fungible token" --domain templates
2. Search security: python3 scripts/search.py "token security" --domain security
3. Generate SIP-010 contract with:
   • Name: PEPE
   • Symbol: PEPE
   • Supply: 1,000,000,000
   • Decimals: 6
4. Apply security patterns (access control, input validation)
5. Provide testnet deployment instructions

Example 2: NFT Collection

User: "Build an NFT collection with royalties"

Workflow:

1. Search: python3 scripts/search.py "nft royalties" --domain templates
2. Search: python3 scripts/search.py "nft security" --domain security
3. Generate SIP-009 contract with royalty tracking
4. Apply security checks
5. Provide deployment guide

Example 3: DEX Integration

User: "How do I swap tokens on Alex?"

Workflow:

1. Search: python3 scripts/search.py "alex swap" --domain defi
2. Return swap-helper function signature
3. Provide example code
4. Include Stacks.js integration if needed

Example 4: Deploy Contract

User: "Deploy my contract to testnet"

Workflow:

1. Search: python3 scripts/search.py "testnet deploy" --domain deployment
2. Provide step-by-step deployment guide
3. Include faucet link for testnet STX
4. Explain verification process

Networks

• Mainnet: SP... addresses, real value, production
• Testnet: ST... addresses, free STX, testing only
• Devnet: Local development with Clarinet

Traits and Standards

SIP-010 (Fungible Token)

• Mainnet: SP3FBR2AGK5H9QBDH3EEN6DF8EK8JY7RX8QJ5SVTE.sip-010-trait-ft-standard
• Testnet: Same trait address works on testnet

SIP-009 (Non-Fungible Token)

• Mainnet: SP2PABAF9FTAJYNFZH93XENAJ8FVY99RRM50D2JG9.nft-trait
• Testnet: Same trait address works on testnet

⚠️ Important: Always use the correct trait addresses for the target network. Using wrong trait addresses will cause deployment to fail.

Security Best Practices

1. Access Control: Always check tx-sender for sensitive operations
2. Error Handling: Use try! or unwrap! for all transfer operations
3. Input Validation: Validate all public function parameters with asserts!
4. Arithmetic Safety: Clarity prevents overflow/underflow automatically
5. Naming: Use kebab-case for all identifiers
6. Error Codes: Define as constants (e.g., ERR-UNAUTHORIZED)
7. Testing: Test on testnet before mainnet deployment
8. Auditing: Professional audit recommended for high-value contracts

Important Notes

• All generated contracts follow Clarity best practices
• Security patterns are based on real-world vulnerabilities
• Always test on testnet before mainnet deployment
• DeFi protocol addresses are for mainnet (use testnet equivalents for testing)
• Search functionality uses BM25 ranking for relevant results
• Auto-domain detection works for most queries, but specifying domain is more accurate

Search Examples

# Auto-detect domain
python3 scripts/search.py "define-public"

# Search specific domain
python3 scripts/search.py "swap tokens" --domain defi

# Get more results
python3 scripts/search.py "security vulnerability" --domain security -n 10

# JSON output
python3 scripts/search.py "stx transfer" --domain stacksjs -f json
