How an AI agent plans, builds, and deploys a complete Ethereum dApp.

  • Works in 3 steps: Scaffold (Local) → Live Contracts + Local UI → Production Deploy
  • Building a full application on Ethereum — from contracts to frontend to production deployment on IPFS
  • SKILL.md covers What You Probably Got Wrong, The Three-Phase Build System, Phase 1: Scaffold (Local) and 🚨 NEVER COMMIT SECRETS TO GIT, plus 5 more sections
  • Calls yarn, git and npx; reaches base-mainnet.g.alchemy.com and mainnet.base.org

What it does

Orchestration is an agent skill from austintgriffith/ethskills. How an AI agent plans, builds, and deploys a complete Ethereum dApp. The three-phase build system for Scaffold-ETH 2 projects. Use when building a full application on Ethereum — from contracts to frontend to production deployment on IPFS.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts and Deployment. It works with Ethereum. The repository describes itself as: The missing knowledge between AI agents and production Ethereum.

When your agent uses it

  • Building a full application on Ethereum — from contracts to frontend to production deployment on IPFS
  • Tasks that involve Smart contracts
  • Tasks that involve Deployment

Example prompts

  • “/orchestration”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in YOUR_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Scaffold (Local)
  2. Live Contracts + Local UI
  3. Production Deploy

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:

    • yarn
    • git
    • npx

    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:

    • base-mainnet.g.alchemy.com
    • mainnet.base.org

    Also links to:

    • ethskills.com
    • docs.scaffoldeth.io
    • bgipfs.com
    • ui.scaffoldeth.io
    • github.com

    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

Orchestration loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 765 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

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 765 words (~2,200 tokens).

“SE2 has specific patterns you must follow. Generic "build a dApp" advice won't work. SE2 auto-generates deployedContracts.ts — DON'T edit it. Use Scaffold hooks, NOT raw wagmi. External contracts go in externalContracts.ts BEFORE building the frontend.”
