develop-secure-contracts

For conceptual questions ("How does Ownable work?"), explain without generating code. For implementation requests, proceed with the workflow below.

If a file cannot be read, surface the failure explicitly — report the path attempted and the reason. Ask whether the path is correct. Never silently fall back to a generic response as if the file does not exist.

Before writing ANY logic, search the OpenZeppelin library for an existing component:

Develop secure smart contracts using OpenZeppelin Contracts libraries. Use when users need to integrate OpenZeppelin library components — including token standards (ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155), access control (Ownable, AccessControl, AccessManager), security primitives (Pausable, ReentrancyGuard), governance (Governor, timelocks), or accounts (multisig, account abstraction) — into existing or new contracts. Covers pattern discovery from library source, MCP generators, and library-first integration. Supports Solidity, Cairo, Stylus, and Stellar. Source: openzeppelin/openzeppelin-skills.
