Enforce constant definition and organization conventions for Miden Assembly (.masm) files.

  • SKILL.md covers Placement, Organization, Naming and Formatting, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Masm Constants is an agent skill from 0xMiden/protocol. Enforce constant definition and organization conventions for Miden Assembly (.masm) files. Use when editing, reviewing, or creating .masm files that define or use constants.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Core components of the Miden protocol. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating .masm files that define

Example prompts

  • “/masm-constants”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62b59ec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are masm).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Masm Constants loads about 977 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~977

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

MASM Constant Conventions

Placement

Constants must be defined at the top of the file, before any procedure definitions, but after imports or type aliases.

Organization

Constants Section (first)

Group non-error constants by topic. Use blank lines between sections. Common topics:

  • Slot names – use word("path::to::slot") for slot identifiers
  • Memory pointer offsets – offsets into memory regions
  • Magic numbers / values – domain-specific literals
  • Event identifiers – for emit / trace

Order sections by dependency or by usage frequency. Put the most widely used first.

Errors Section (after constants)

Errors (panic/assert error codes, e.g. ERR_*) go in a dedicated "errors" section, placed after the constants section. Define them with string values describing the error.

Naming

Memory Pointers

Memory pointer constants describe offsets into memory regions that are shared or global (e.g. layout of a memory region, input/output structure offsets). They are not scoped to a single procedure and do not use the procedure prefix.

masm
# Good: descriptive, shared usage
const ASSET_OFF = 0
const AMOUNT_OFF = 1
const NOTE_DATA_LEN = 16

# Or grouped by memory region if applicable
const INPUT_PTR_OFF = 0
const INPUT_LEN_OFF = 1
Memory Locals Offsets

Memory locals offsets are procedure-scoped: they describe offsets within a procedure's local memory. They must be prefixed with the procedure name they belong to:

masm
# Good: procedure-prefixed
const validate_note_NOTE_IDX_LOC = 0
const validate_note_ASSET_LOC = 1
const process_input_INPUT_PTR_OFF = 0

# Bad: generic, ambiguous
const NOTE_IDX_LOC = 0
const ASSET_LOC = 1
const INPUT_PTR_OFF = 0

This keeps offsets scoped and avoids collisions when multiple procedures use local memory.

Formatting

Put spaces around the equals sign.

Errors – string value describing the error:

masm
const ERR_BRIDGE_NOT_MAINNET = "bridge not mainnet"
const ERR_UNAUTHORIZED = "unauthorized"

Slots – use word() with the slot path:

masm
const BRIDGE_ID_SLOT = word("miden::agglayer::faucet")
const SLOT_ACCOUNT_ID = word("account::id")

Offsets / numeric values – plain numbers:

masm
const validate_note_NOTE_IDX_LOC = 0
const validate_note_ASSET_LOC = 1

Example Layout

masm
# CONSTANTS
# =================================================================================================

# Slots
const BRIDGE_ID_SLOT = word("miden::agglayer::faucet")
const SLOT_ACCOUNT_ID = word("account::id")

# Memory pointers
const ASSET_OFF = 0
const AMOUNT_OFF = 1

# validate_note locals
const validate_note_NOTE_IDX_LOC = 0
const validate_note_ASSET_LOC = 1

# process_input locals
const process_input_INPUT_PTR_OFF = 0
const process_input_LEN_OFF = 1

# ERRORS
# =================================================================================================

const ERR_BRIDGE_NOT_MAINNET = "bridge not mainnet"
const ERR_UNAUTHORIZED = "unauthorized"
const ERR_NOTE_NOT_FOUND = "note not found"

# PUBLIC INTERFACE
# =================================================================================================

pub proc validate_note
    ...
end

Validation Checklist

  • Errors in dedicated section, placed after constants
  • All constants defined at top of file
  • Non-error constants grouped by topic with blank lines between sections
  • Memory pointers (shared/global) use descriptive names without procedure prefix
  • Memory locals offsets prefixed with procedure name
  • Spaces around = in all constant definitions
  • Section comments used to label topic groups
