What it does
Frontend Playbook is an agent skill from austintgriffith/ethskills. The complete build-to-production pipeline for Ethereum dApps. Fork mode setup, IPFS deployment, Vercel config, ENS subdomain setup, and the full production checklist. Built around Scaffold-ETH 2 but applicable to any Ethereum frontend project. Use when deploying any dApp to production.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k 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 Frontend & Design, covering Smart contracts. It works with Vercel, Ethereum and Next.js. The repository describes itself as: The missing knowledge between AI agents and production Ethereum.
When your agent uses it
- Deploying any dApp to production
- Tasks that involve Smart contracts
Example prompts
- “/frontend-playbook”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A credential in VERCEL_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 06ea4ef. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
yarncurlnpxvercel
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
eth.llamarpc.comcommunity.bgipfs.comapi.vercel.com
Also links to:
docs.scaffoldeth.ioui.scaffoldeth.iospeedrunethereum.comethtechtree.comupload.bgipfs.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
VERCEL_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Frontend Playbook loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,149 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:351
API keys in `scaffold.config.ts` — use `.env.local`
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,149 words (~3,379 tokens).
“"I'll use yarn chain." Wrong. yarn chain gives you an empty local chain with no protocols, no tokens, no state. yarn fork --network base gives you a copy of real Base with Uniswap, Aave, USDC, real whale balances — everything…”
