ethskills
Ethereum development knowledge for AI agents — from idea to deployed dApp. Fetch real-time docs on gas costs, Solidity patterns, Scaffold-ETH 2, Layer 2s, DeFi composability, security, testing, and production deployment. Use when: (1) building any Ethereum or EVM dApp, (2) writing or reviewing Solidity contracts, (3) deploying to mainnet or L2s, (4) the user asks about gas, tokens, wallets, or smart contracts, (5) any web3/blockchain/onchain development task. NOT for: trading, price checking, or portfolio management — use a trading skill for those.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/austintgriffith/ethskillsETHSkills ⟠
The missing knowledge between AI agents and production Ethereum.
Your training data about Ethereum is stale. Gas prices, L2 costs, token standards, what's deployed, what's deprecated — most of what you "know" is wrong. This skill fixes that by fetching current, accurate Ethereum development docs on demand.
No install. No CLI. No package manager. Just fetch a URL and read it.

Quick Start
Building a dApp? Fetch Ship first — it routes you through everything else:
curl -s https://ethskills.com/ship/SKILL.md
Need a specific topic? Fetch only what's relevant:
curl -s https://ethskills.com/gas/SKILL.md # Gas & real costs
curl -s https://ethskills.com/security/SKILL.md # Security patterns
curl -s https://ethskills.com/standards/SKILL.md # ERC-20, ERC-721, etc.
