What it does

Alchemy Hello World is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build a minimal, reviewable Alchemy EVM read with viem and prove its network, authentication, and failure behavior. Use when starting an Alchemy integration or replacing an SDK sample. Trigger with "Alchemy hello world", "read an Ethereum block", or "test my Alchemy connection".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live Alchemy access requires network access, an appropriate credential, account capacity, and explicit approval

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts and Authentication. It works with viem and wagmi and Ethereum. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting an Alchemy integration
  • Replacing an SDK sample
  • With Alchemy hello world
  • Read an Ethereum block

Example prompts

  • “Alchemy hello world”
  • “read an Ethereum block”
  • “test my Alchemy connection”
  • “/alchemy-hello-world”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live Alchemy access requires network access, an appropriate credential, account capacity, and explicit approval
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Choose one supported EVM chain and verify its current endpoint and feature support in first-party documentation.
  2. Install a repository-approved, pinned viem release and preserve the lockfile review; do not add alchemy-sdk.
  3. Create a public client with the declared viem chain and an Alchemy HTTP transport supplied from the server secret boundary.
  4. Read the chain ID and latest block number, assert that the chain ID equals the configured chain, and record only redacted timing and block…
  5. Exercise an invalid credential and a deliberately mismatched chain expectation so the proof demonstrates fail-closed behavior.
  6. Return the source, lockfile, test output, and rollback change without making a transaction or requesting a signing key.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; live Alchemy access requires network access, an appropriate credential, account capacity, and explicit approval

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Alchemy Hello World loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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.

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.

Alchemy Read-Only Connectivity Proof

Overview

Build a minimal, reviewable Alchemy EVM read with viem and prove its network, authentication, and failure behavior. This workflow produces a reviewable artifact and negative-path evidence before any live side effect.

Prerequisites

  • Current first-party Alchemy documentation for the selected product, chain, feature, client, authentication method, limit, and lifecycle.
  • Named product, application, security, data/privacy, budget, release, and operations owners appropriate to the requested scope.
  • Synthetic or approved non-production fixtures, a credential canary, explicit success criteria, and a tested rollback boundary.

Current Contract

The current Ethereum quickstart uses viem. A successful eth_blockNumber proves endpoint connectivity only; it does not prove Enhanced API, NFT API, Portfolio, Wallet API, or Admin entitlement. Chain identity must be checked from the response context rather than assumed from an endpoint string.

Authentication

Use a development application key through the repository's approved server-side secret boundary. Never print the URL when it contains a credential. A browser proof requires the allowlist or short-lived-JWT protections documented in the approved threat model.

Instructions

  1. Choose one supported EVM chain and verify its current endpoint and feature support in first-party documentation.
  2. Install a repository-approved, pinned viem release and preserve the lockfile review; do not add alchemy-sdk.
  3. Create a public client with the declared viem chain and an Alchemy HTTP transport supplied from the server secret boundary.
  4. Read the chain ID and latest block number, assert that the chain ID equals the configured chain, and record only redacted timing and block evidence.
  5. Exercise an invalid credential and a deliberately mismatched chain expectation so the proof demonstrates fail-closed behavior.
  6. Return the source, lockfile, test output, and rollback change without making a transaction or requesting a signing key.

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect current documentation, configuration, code, fixtures, and evidence. Use Write and Edit only for approved repository artifacts. Skill invocation alone does not authorize network access, credentials, wallet addresses, customer data, plan changes, spend, key creation or rotation, webhook changes, deployment, replay, transaction construction, signing, broadcast, or deletion.

Approval Boundaries

Read-only development proof needs the application owner's scoped key. Installing a dependency follows repository review. Any transaction, wallet connection, browser credential, or production call is outside this skill and requires separate approval.

Error Handling

  • Treat 401 or 403 as a credential or policy failure, not as a reason to broaden access.
  • Treat a chain-ID mismatch as a hard configuration failure even if the block-number call succeeded.
  • Honor 429 and provider 5xx with a bounded retry budget; never loop until success.

Output

Return the chosen chain, current source links, dependency decision, minimal viem client, chain-ID assertion, redacted positive and negative test receipts, and rollback command. Mark assumptions, observations, source dates, environment-specific behavior, owners, and unresolved gaps explicitly.

Examples

  • Prove an Ethereum Sepolia client returns the expected chain ID and a positive block number without logging its transport URL.
  • Show that an Ethereum client pointed at another chain fails the chain-ID assertion instead of returning a misleading success banner.

Validation

Exercise and record expected and observed results for:

  • valid development key
  • invalid key
  • wrong chain
  • rate-limit response
  • provider timeout
  • credential canary absent from logs

Resources

  • Current first-party evidence map — recheck dated Alchemy sources before execution.
  • Treat observed account, application, network, indexer, chain, or provider behavior as environment-specific evidence, never a universal guarantee.
