DeFi Protocol Templates

Production-ready templates for common DeFi protocols including staking, AMMs, governance, lending, and flash loans.

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to defi protocol templates
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Use this skill when

• Building staking platforms with reward distribution
• Implementing AMM (Automated Market Maker) protocols
• Creating governance token systems
• Developing lending/borrowing protocols
• Integrating flash loan functionality
• Launching yield farming platforms
