Use it when:
You're building a staking platform, an automated market maker, token governance or flash loans on an Ethereum-style chain.
You get:
Solidity contracts to start from: staking with per-second rewards, a two-token AMM with a 0.3% swap fee, a voting token with a proposal contract, and a flash loan provider.
Built on:
OpenZeppelin's ERC-20 interface, ReentrancyGuard, Ownable and ERC20Votes.
Unlike solidity-security:
That one, from the same repo, covers attacks and audit checks rather than protocol code.

Its contracts are written against OpenZeppelin 4.x, such as the security/ReentrancyGuard.sol import and Ownable without an owner argument, so they need changes to compile with OpenZeppelin 5.

TL;DR

Code templates with almost no prose. The staking contract uses the reward-per-token pattern: rewards accrue per second in proportion to each staker's share, with stake, withdraw, claim and exit functions guarded against reentrancy. The AMM holds two tokens, mints liquidity shares (the square root of the two deposits multiplied for the first provider, proportional after that), burns them on withdrawal and prices swaps on the constant-product curve after a 0.3% fee. A reference file adds a governance token built on ERC20Votes with a minimal Governor contract of its own: holders above a threshold propose, votes are weighted by voting power at the proposal's start block, and a proposal passes with more votes for than against, though the action it executes is left for you to write. It also has a flash loan provider that lends tokens, calls the borrower's executeOperation and reverts unless the loan plus a 0.09% fee comes back, with an example receiver.

Category

Test-first work, implementation from specs, git hygiene and scope control.

Everything for building software: planning, coding, debugging, design, frameworks, cloud, agents and skills.

Type

Knowledge and rules the agent applies while it works: best practices, design principles, API references.

Effect

Adds no side effects of its own. It shapes how the agent thinks, writes or reviews. Guidelines and routers are always effect:none, even when the task they support edits code.

Needs

Instructions only. Works in any agent that supports skills.

Publisher

Everyone else. Unverified vendor claims default to community.
