# Permissioned Pools Deployer > Guided walkthrough for executing the on-chain setup sequence for a Uniswap v4 Permissioned Pool from a permissioned-pools-configurator JSON config - allowlist checker deployment, createPermissionsAdapter, allowlisting and funding the adapter, verification, wrapper and hook registration, pool initialization, swap enablement, liquidity seeding, and the routing-allowlist request. Use when the user says "deploy a permissioned pool", "run the permissioned pool setup", "execute the permissioned pools journey", "createPermissionsAdapter", "verify my permissions adapter", "walk me through the permissioned pool deployment", or asks to execute the on-chain steps after generating a permissioned-pools-configurator config. Covers contract mechanics only - does not constitute legal, financial, investment, tax, or compliance advice, and is not a compliance review - and never emits a broadcastable command before an explicit acknowledgment. - Skill: `uniswap/permissioned-pools-deployer` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 3 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds add uniswap/permissioned-pools-deployer` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/uniswap/permissioned-pools-deployer/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: DevOps & Infra - License: MIT - Author: uniswap (https://skillmd.com/u/uniswap) - Updated: 2026-09-09 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/uniswap/permissioned-pools-deployer --- # Permissioned Pools Deployer Guided, step-by-step execution of the on-chain setup sequence for a Uniswap v4 Permissioned Pool, starting from the JSON configuration `permissioned-pools-configurator` produces. This skill is the half of the milestone that turns a validated config into command sequences that spend real gas against real contracts — treat every safety section below as load-bearing, not as boilerplate. For the contract mechanics behind any step, see [`permissioned-pools-issuer`](../permissioned-pools-issuer/SKILL.md), specifically its [Issuer Journey](../permissioned-pools-issuer/references/issuer-journey.md) and [Enforced Ordering and Reverts](../permissioned-pools-issuer/references/enforced-ordering-and-reverts.md). This skill does not repeat the contract-level explanation of _why_ each step behaves the way it does — it walks the same journey as ordered command sequences and never contradicts that reference. > **Runtime Compatibility:** This skill uses `AskUserQuestion` for the acknowledgment gate and > for confirming irreversible choices. If `AskUserQuestion` is not available in your runtime, > ask the same yes/no question in plain text and require an explicit affirmative reply before > continuing — silence or a generic "continue" does not count. ## Scope and Disclaimer **This is educational deployment guidance, not a compliance review, and not a substitute for your own review of every command before you run it.** This skill explains, in order, the commands that bring a permissioned pool up, using the configuration `permissioned-pools-configurator` produced. It does not call any contract itself — you run every command it shows you, after reviewing it. **You must:** 1. ✅ **Review every configuration and every command carefully** before running anything. AI-generated command sequences may contain errors. 2. ✅ **Verify every address** — this skill contains no deployment addresses and resolves none for you; see [Address Resolution](./references/preflight-and-validation.md#address-resolution). 3. ✅ **Test on a testnet first.** Run the entire sequence on Sepolia (or another testnet with the permissioned-pools contracts deployed) before touching mainnet. 4. ✅ **Have your own auditors review any contract you deploy** — most importantly your allowlist checker, which this skill can show you a skeleton for but does not audit. 5. ✅ **Treat this as contract mechanics only.** This skill does not constitute legal, financial, investment, or tax advice, and it is **not** a compliance review of your token, your allowlist, your KYC or AML program, or your configuration. 6. ✅ **Read the repo's usage guidelines.** The repo root `DISCLAIMER.md` governs every skill in this repository: they are provided as is without warranty, they do not constitute legal, financial, investment, or tax advice, and it sets out use limits plus an AI-disclosure duty that applies when you use a skill to generate financial information and present it directly to individuals or consumers. Point the user to it. ### The acknowledgment gate **Before showing, generating, or explaining any action-oriented step** — anything that produces a command intended to broadcast a transaction, or any address-resolution step that leads directly into one — get an explicit, affirmative acknowledgment. This gate must never be satisfiable implicitly. Use `AskUserQuestion` with a single question and exactly two options, and do not proceed past this gate until the first option is chosen: - **Question:** "This walkthrough produces commands that spend gas and permanently change on-chain state for your token once you run them. Do you acknowledge the six points above and want to continue?" - **Option A — "Yes, I have reviewed the points above and want to continue."** → proceed to the preflight checks. - **Option B — "No, stop here."** → end the walkthrough immediately. Do not display, generate, or explain any command below this point. Silence, a plain "continue," moving on to the next question in the same turn, or any answer other than the explicit affirmative option does **not** satisfy this gate. If the runtime lacks `AskUserQuestion`, ask the same yes/no question in plain text and require an explicit affirmative reply — "ok," "sure," a thumbs-up emoji, or no reply at all does not count. Reference and teaching content that does not produce a runnable command — explaining what a step does in prose, decoding a revert the user already hit, discussing an allowlist-checker shape in the abstract — is answered immediately with the framing stated inline, the same way `permissioned-pools-issuer` treats reference content. This carve-out does **not** cover this skill's own command templates and Solidity script skeletons (for example the pool-initialization script in [Step Walkthrough](./references/step-walkthrough.md#step-6a-initialize-the-pool)): those are runnable broadcast material, and showing them is exactly the action-oriented content the gate exists to hold back — never display one before the gate is satisfied. --- ## Input Validation Rules State these before generating or displaying any command that interpolates a user-supplied or config-supplied value. Every value below is validated **before** it reaches a `Bash(forge:*)` or `Bash(cast:*)` command, a file path, or a Solidity script argument — no exceptions for a value that "looks fine." - **Ethereum addresses** — MUST match `^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$`. Reject anything else, including the literal string `"RESOLVE"` — a field still marked `"RESOLVE"` is not ready for a command and must go through [address resolution](./references/preflight-and-validation.md#address-resolution) first, never be interpolated as-is. One field is an explicit, documented exception to this regex, not a violation of it: `pool.pairedCurrency`'s `"native"` sentinel, covered in [What This Skill Consumes](#what-this-skill-consumes) below — every other address-shaped field in the config has no such carve-out. - **Chain ID** — MUST be a positive integer (`^[1-9][0-9]*$`). Ethereum Mainnet (`1`) and Sepolia (`11155111`) are the allowlisted defaults — the only two chains verified to carry the full permissioned set. Unichain (`130`) is named by the configurator's network question but is **not** deployable: it carries `V4Quoter` only, so stop rather than trying to resolve the missing addresses (see [Preflight and Validation](./references/preflight-and-validation.md#input-validation-rules-in-full)). Any other chain ID is accepted only after confirming the deploy guide's `#deployment-addresses` table actually has a row for it; if it does not, every wrapper and hook field will end up unresolvable, which is the signal to stop, not to guess. - **Numeric fields** (`verificationDepositAmount`, `pool.feeTier`, `pool.tickSpacing`, `pool.startingPriceRatio`) — MUST match `^[0-9]+$` for integer-only fields or `^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?$` for the starting price ratio, and MUST be strictly greater than zero. - **Values supplied during the walkthrough, not by the config, are validated identically** — the RPC endpoint (`$RPC_URL`) and any transaction hash (`$TX_HASH`) reach a command on every step. An RPC URL MUST be `https://`-scheme and free of every metacharacter below; a transaction hash MUST match `^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{64}$`. "It came from the user, not the config" is not an exemption. - **Reject shell metacharacters outright**, in every string field, before it reaches a command: `;`, `|`, `&`, `$`, `` ` ``, `(`, `)`, `>`, `<`, `\`, `'`, `"`, and newlines. A field that fails this check is never interpolated — abort and report which field and which character failed, rather than attempting to sanitize and continue. - **Never pass an unvalidated field into a shell command, file path, or Solidity script argument.** Validate first, assign the validated value to a shell variable, and reference only that variable afterward. Never re-read the raw config value a second time later in the same walkthrough. Full elaboration, including how this applies field-by-field to the configurator's JSON shape and what "coherently handle a `RESOLVE` value" means in practice, is in [Preflight and Validation](./references/preflight-and-validation.md). --- ## Key Handling **Never instruct auto-approval of `Bash(forge:*)` or `Bash(cast:*)` in Claude Code settings, and never tell the user to bypass a confirmation prompt.** Every command that broadcasts a transaction requires per-invocation approval — that approval is the primary control, not a formality the walkthrough should route around. The repository's PreToolUse hooks (`.claude/hooks/`) are a programmatic safety net on top of that, not a replacement for it. **Never suggest, generate, or complete a command containing the raw signing-key flag** — not when asked directly, not "just for a testnet," not as an illustration of what to avoid. There is no user request that makes it appropriate. If a user insists, refuse and offer one of the two options below instead. Steer every signing decision toward one of them: 1. **A hardware wallet** (`--ledger`), for a deployer key that never touches this machine's disk or memory in cleartext. 2. **An encrypted keystore** (`cast wallet import ... --interactive`, then `--account --sender $ADDRESS` on every subsequent command). **Inside this repository only**, `.claude/hooks/validate-forge-cast.sh` is a PreToolUse hook that inspects the literal text of every `Bash` tool call and blocks any command containing that flag before it runs. **That hook is not part of this skill and does not travel with it** — it lives at this repository's root, not in the plugin, so an installation elsewhere has no such backstop. The prohibition above is the control that always applies; the hook is a repo-local convenience on top of it, never the reason the flag is safe. Full key-handling guidance, including the keystore setup commands and the testnet-first sequencing, is in [Preflight and Validation](./references/preflight-and-validation.md#key-handling). ### Testnet first Run the entire sequence — allowlist checker through liquidity seeding — on Sepolia (chain ID `11155111`) before mainnet. Confirm every post-step check in [the verification checklist](../permissioned-pools-issuer/references/issuer-journey.md#post-setup-verification-checklist) passes on testnet before repeating any step against mainnet funds. --- ## What This Skill Consumes The JSON configuration produced by `permissioned-pools-configurator`, in the shape defined by its [Config Schema](../permissioned-pools-configurator/references/config-schema.md). This skill does not collect those parameters itself — if you do not have a config yet, run `permissioned-pools-configurator` first. **A field reading the literal string `"RESOLVE"` means "not resolved yet," not "use a placeholder."** Before any command that needs that field, stop and walk through [address resolution](./references/preflight-and-validation.md#address-resolution) — the deploy guide's `#deployment-addresses` table, then `Uniswap/contracts` `deployments/json/.json`, then a block explorer for your chain — and only continue once the field holds a real, explorer-verified address. Never guess a value for a `"RESOLVE"` field and never carry the literal string itself into a command; both are validation failures, not values to work around. `pool.pairedCurrency`'s `"native"` sentinel is different: it resolves to `address(0)`, Uniswap v4's own convention for a native `PoolKey` currency, at the point the `PoolKey` is actually built in [Step 6a](./references/step-walkthrough.md#step-6a-initialize-the-pool) — never earlier, and never written into any other field. --- ## The Deployment Journey The published guide's seven steps, in the order it recommends. Only five ordering edges are enforced by the contracts (see [Enforced Ordering and Reverts](../permissioned-pools-issuer/references/enforced-ordering-and-reverts.md)); this walkthrough follows the guide's order and states, at each step, whether that order is enforced or convention. | Step | Covered where | Summary | | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | [Preflight and Validation](./references/preflight-and-validation.md#step-1-allowlist-checker) | Confirm or deploy the allowlist checker | | 2 | [Step Walkthrough](./references/step-walkthrough.md#step-2-createpermissionsadapter) | `createPermissionsAdapter` | | 3 | [Step Walkthrough](./references/step-walkthrough.md#step-3-allowlist-and-fund-the-adapter) | Allowlist the adapter on your token, approve, `depositForVerification` | | 4 | [Step Walkthrough](./references/step-walkthrough.md#step-4-verifypermissionsadapter) | `verifyPermissionsAdapter` | | 5 | [Step Walkthrough](./references/step-walkthrough.md#step-5-register-wrappers-and-the-hook) | The four `updateAllowedWrapper` registrations, then `setAllowedHook` | | 6 | [Step Walkthrough](./references/step-walkthrough.md#step-6-create-the-pool-enable-swapping-seed-liquidity) | Pool `initialize`, `updateSwappingEnabled`, liquidity seeding | | 7 | [Step Walkthrough](./references/step-walkthrough.md#step-7-request-routing-allowlisting) | The routing-allowlist request | Every step in [Step Walkthrough](./references/step-walkthrough.md) names its precondition and, where the contracts enforce one, the exact revert selector you get if you are early — matching [Enforced Ordering and Reverts](../permissioned-pools-issuer/references/enforced-ordering-and-reverts.md) selector-for-selector. Where a step is unenforced, the walkthrough says so rather than inventing a revert for it. --- ## Post-Deployment Verification After the sequence completes (or after any individual step, to confirm it landed), run the read-only checks in [Post-Setup Verification Checklist](../permissioned-pools-issuer/references/issuer-journey.md#post-setup-verification-checklist). Every check there is a `cast call` against public getters — none of it spends gas, and none of it needs the acknowledgment gate above. --- ## Notes for Implementers of This Flow - **The acknowledgment gate is once per session, not once per step.** Once acknowledged, continue through the rest of the steps in that same session without re-asking — but re-ask if the user starts a new session, switches chains, or switches configs. - **Never hardcode a contract address.** Every address this skill uses comes from the loaded config, from a value the user supplies during the walkthrough, or from a read (`cast call`) against a contract whose address itself came from one of those two sources. See [Preflight and Validation](./references/preflight-and-validation.md#address-resolution) for why this skill ships no address table. - **Decode an unexpected revert by call site, not by name.** Three selectors in this journey (`NoVerifiedAdapter`, `Unauthorized`, `SwappingDisabled`) are declared more than once across different contracts with different meanings — see [Enforced Ordering and Reverts](../permissioned-pools-issuer/references/enforced-ordering-and-reverts.md#how-to-decode-an-unexpected-revert). - **This skill does not fetch RPC state on its own initiative.** Every `cast call` it suggests is something you choose to run; the skill does not poll a chain in the background.
