GenLayer Skills Pro

GenLayer Skills Pro (genlayer-skills-pro) is a command-line tool and collection of AI-agnostic skills that empowers AI coding assistants (Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Roo Code, etc.) to write, lint, test, and commit Intelligent Contracts for the GenLayer ecosystem.

Acknowledgments: This project is heavily inspired by and adapted from the official genlayerlabs/skills repository. It takes the excellent foundational work done for Claude Code and restructures it into a universal CLI package compatible with any major AI IDE.

🚀 Quick Install (Recommended)

Install the skills directly into your IDE using our CLI tool:

# Provide global installation via npm
npm install -g genlayer-skills-pro

# Auto-detect your AI assistant in your current project
glskills init

# Or install for a specific AI assistant:
glskills init --ai cursor       # Cursor IDE
glskills init --ai windsurf     # Windsurf IDE
glskills init --ai claude       # Claude Code
glskills init --ai antigravity  # Antigravity
glskills init --ai copilot      # GitHub Copilot
glskills init --ai kiro         # Kiro IDE
glskills init --ai roocode      # Roo Code
glskills init --ai gemini       # Gemini CLI
glskills init --ai codex        # Codex CLI
glskills init --ai all          # Install for ALL AI assistants

🛠️ Available Skills

Once installed, your AI assistant will automatically understand how to assist you with GenLayer development:

| Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | write-contract | Write GenLayer intelligent contracts following equivalence principles and best practices. | | genvm-lint | Validate contracts with the GenVM linter and understand common anti-patterns. | | direct-tests | Write and run fast, in-memory direct mode tests for rapid iteration. | | integration-tests | Write and run integration tests against full GenLayer consensus environments. | | commit | Git commit utility with AI-generated conventional commit messages and safety checks. |

📖 How to Use (Manual Method)

If you prefer not to use the CLI, you can simply point your AI assistant at the relevant SKILL.md file locally or paste its contents into your prompt.

Example Prompts:

• "Read write-contract/SKILL.md then help me write a new storage contract."
• "Based on genvm-lint/SKILL.md, lint my current contract.py."
• "Use direct-tests/SKILL.md to write tests for this intelligent contract."

🏗️ Architecture & Differences from Original

The Original (genlayerlabs/skills)

The original genlayerlabs/skills was specifically designed for Claude Code (.claude/skills/). It relies on Claude-specific hooks, allowed-tools frontmatter, and the Claude plugin installation workflow.

This Project (genlayer-skills-pro)

This repository takes the core knowledge from the original skills and makes them AI-Agnostic:

• Remade into a universal CLI node package (glskills-cli / genlayer-skills-pro).
• Separates markdown instructions from platform-specific execution hooks.
• Deploys the rules explicitly to the required folders for Cursor (.cursor/rules), Windsurf (.windsurf), Copilot (.github), Roo Code (.roo), etc.
