## What it does

The plugin drops 17 skills for Aptos blockchain work into Claude. You get Move V2 contract generation, unit tests, a pre-deploy security audit, publishing to devnet, testnet or mainnet, reference lookups in aptos-core, gas cost analysis, and a migration path from V1 resource accounts to the object model.

A second group covers the TypeScript SDK: client setup with `AptosConfig`, accounts and signers, AIP-40 address handling, transactions including sponsored and multi-agent ones, view function calls, Move-to-TypeScript type mapping, and wallet integration in React through `useWallet`. One skill scaffolds a fresh project with `create-aptos-dapp`. A community skill adds gas sponsorship via SmoothSend.

Skills fire from what you type. Ask for an NFT contract and `/write-contracts` runs; ask for tests and `/generate-tests` takes over. In Cursor and GitHub Copilot you point at the skill files yourself with `@skills/.../SKILL.md`. Community skills are maintained by outside developers and have not been reviewed by Aptos Labs, so read their sources before you rely on them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**

```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install aptos-agent-skills@claude-community
```

## When to use it
- generate a Move V2 contract for an NFT marketplace
- write Move unit tests with full code coverage
- audit a contract for vulnerabilities before deploy
