Overview
This skill helps AI agents execute Base contract launches with clear operational discipline. It emphasizes secure key handling, staged rollout, verifiable artifacts, and post-launch incident readiness.
Compatibility
Native
- Claude Code / Claude: native skill usage via
SKILL.md. - Codex/OpenAI workflows: compatible with Agent Skills-style
SKILL.mdcontent as reusable workflow instructions.
Manual Adaptation
- Gemini CLI: native skill usage via
.gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdor.agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdwhere supported. - Cursor: use the generated
.cursor/rules/*.mdcadapter for project rules. - OpenClaw and similar agents: use the same skill content as a reusable prompt/workflow file when native skill import is unavailable.
Prerequisites
- Chain-specific deployment config
- Funding and gas strategy
- Security review outcomes and acceptance criteria
What This Skill Delivers
- Environment and release checklist for Base deployments
- Validation and verification flow for deployed contracts
- Operational controls (pause/recovery/admin governance)
- Launch runbook with rollback contingencies
How to Use This Skill
- Validate contract readiness and security assumptions.
- Stage deployment on testnet with full verification.
- Promote to mainnet with explicit confirmation gates.
- Verify source and publish metadata.
- Monitor post-launch behavior and key metrics.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Deployment succeeds but verification fails
Fix: Confirm compiler version, optimizer settings, and constructor args alignment.
Issue: Admin key risk is too high
Fix: Move to multisig ownership and delayed privileged actions.
Issue: Release process is hard to repeat
Fix: Encode deployment steps in scripts and enforce release checklists in CI.
Knowledge Freshness
Treat tooling details as time-sensitive. Re-validate APIs, limits, pricing, auth models, and deployment flags immediately before implementation. If docs conflict with prior memory, follow current official docs and release notes.
Retrieval Sources
Output Contract
- Return a concrete plan with implementation order.
- Provide production-ready commands/config/code snippets (not placeholders).
- Include explicit assumptions and unresolved risks.
- Include a verification checklist with pass/fail criteria.
Quality Gates
- All commands are copy/paste ready.
- Security-sensitive steps call out secret handling and least privilege.
- Version-sensitive guidance cites current docs used.
- Rollback path is included for risky changes.
- Final output includes quick validation commands/tests.
