25 stars

Best use case

defi-protocol-templates is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Implement DeFi protocols with production-ready templates for staking, AMMs, governance, and lending systems. Use when building decentralized finance applications or smart contract protocols.

Teams using defi-protocol-templates should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# 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

## Staking Contract

## 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
