At a glance

A skill your agent uses when running pop to develop or interact with ink!

  • Running pop to develop
  • SKILL.md covers Global Rules and Command Guide
  • Calls cargo; needs PRIVATE_KEY
  • Interact with ink!

What it does

Pop CLI is an agent skill from r0gue-io/pop-cli. Use when running pop to develop or interact with ink! smart contracts and Polkadot SDK chains.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. The repository describes itself as: The all-in-one tool for Polkadot development. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Running pop to develop
  • Interact with ink!

Example prompts

  • “/pop-cli”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • A credential in PRIVATE_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b0d3671. 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:

    • cargo

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • PRIVATE_KEY

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

Context cost

Pop CLI loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 582 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Pop CLI Skill

Use this skill for workflows that run through pop.

Run pop --help for getting an overview.

Global Rules

  • Run plain pop commands only, one command per step.
  • Never use cargo-contract under any conditions. Use pop for all contract workflows.
  • Never chain commands or use shell wrappers/operators (&&, ;, |, command substitution, scripts/functions).
  • Exception: env expansion is allowed only for signer secret on --suri (example: --suri "$PRIVATE_KEY").
  • Prefer explicit flags over prompts (--path, --url, --args, --skip-confirm where supported).
  • Never print secrets.
  • Cleanup safety: always get explicit user approval before any cleanup that stops/removes local nodes, networks, or forks.

Command Guide

pop new contract
  • Use for new ink! contract scaffolding.
  • pop new contract --list for available contracts.
pop new chain
  • Use for new Polkadot SDK chain scaffolding.
  • pop new chain --list for available chains.
pop build --path <dir>
  • Use to build contracts or chains with explicit path input.
pop test --path <dir>
  • Use to run tests for contracts or chains with explicit path input.

For the following commands:

pop up ink-node ... --detach
pop up fork ... --detach
pop up network <zombie.json> --detach
pop up paseo --detach
pop up paseo --parachain asset-hub --detach
  • You MUST use a persistent terminal session.
  • After spawned/running output, you MUST wait 10 seconds before interacting.
  • Use the endpoint returned by Pop for follow-up calls. For pop up network use ws_uri values from generated zombie.json.
  • Treat endpoint verification as a hard gate before any dependent command.
  • Do not trust success banner alone; you MUST run:
    • pop call chain --url <ws-url> --metadata
  • Continue only if the metadata call succeeds (exit code 0 and pallet list output). If it fails, do not proceed with dependent calls.
pop up <contract-dir> --constructor <name> --args <arg>... --suri "$PRIVATE_KEY" --url <ws-url> --skip-confirm
  • --skip-confirm requires all constructor args via --args.
  • pop up <path> checks only the provided path; it does not recurse into subdirectories.
pop verify --path <contract-dir> --url <ws-url> --address <contract-address> --image <image-tag>
  • For deployed contract verification, first build with pop build --path . --verifiable, then deploy using pop up ... --skip-build, and verify with the exact same --image tag.
  • Run verifiable workflows from inside the project with --path . (not absolute host paths), because Docker path mapping can break cargo metadata.
Show full SKILL.md (219 more words)Show less
pop call chain --url <ws-url> --pallet <pallet> --function <snake_case_name> --args <arg>... --suri "$PRIVATE_KEY" --skip-confirm
  • First time calling a chain use pop call chain --metadata for which pallets, + --pallet <pallet_name> for pallet info.
  • Evaluate both exit code and output text of return.
  • Success requires exit code 0 and exact success output:
    • Call complete.
    • for extrinsics, also Extrinsic Submitted with hash:
  • --function use snake_case (example: transfer_keep_alive).
  • For calls expecting MultiAddress (example: Balances.transfer_keep_alive), pass destination as Id(0x...).
pop call contract --path <contract-dir> --contract 0x... --message <name> --args <arg>... --suri "$PRIVATE_KEY" --url <ws-url> --skip-confirm
  • Evaluate both exit code and output text.
  • Success requires exit code 0 and exact success output:
    • Call completed successfully!
    • Contract calling complete.
  • Default provide not only if user specifies otherwise --gas and --proof-size must be provided together; passing only one fails argument validation.
pop convert address <value>
  • Use for address format conversion utilities.
  • Do not assume strict round-trip string equality across families (SS58 -> EVM -> SS58 may return a different SS58 representation/prefix).
pop clean node
  • Requires explicit user approval (global cleanup safety rule).
  • Use targeted cleanup first when PIDs are known: --pid.
  • Use --all only when explicitly requested, since it can terminate unrelated local processes.
pop clean network
  • Requires explicit user approval (global cleanup safety rule).
  • Prefer targeted cleanup by base dir or zombie.json.
  • Use --all only when explicitly requested.
