# Skill ## @trustless-work/skill [![skills.sh](https://skills.sh/b/trustless-work/trustless-work-dev-skill)](https://skills.sh/trustless-work/trustless-work-dev-skill) Install AI skills and verify Trustless Work integrations directly from your terminal using Skills.sh. *** ## Installation No global installation required. Install the skill directly using: ``` npx skills add trustless-work/trustless-work-dev-skill ``` This automatically installs the Trustless Work skill into your supported AI agent. *** ## Skills.sh The Trustless Work skill is distributed through Skills.sh: * Skills Registry: Skills.sh provides a standardized ecosystem for installing reusable AI agent skills across different coding assistants. *** ## Why are Skills Useful? ### Without a skill You repeatedly explain the same integration details in every conversation: > "Trustless Work is an escrow protocol on Stellar..." > "The deploy endpoint returns an unsigned XDR transaction..." > "The user must sign it with their wallet..." > "The trustline uses the issuer address, not the contract address..." This wastes time and often leads to integration mistakes. *** ### With a skill The AI already understands all of this context. You can immediately ask things like: > "Generate the escrow deployment flow for my freelance marketplace." And the assistant can produce accurate, idiomatic, production-ready code from the start. Skills are especially useful for: * Faster onboarding for new developers * Reducing integration mistakes * Maintaining consistency across projects * Keeping AI assistants updated with the latest SDK/API changes *** ## The Trustless Work Skill The Trustless Work Skill installs a curated knowledge base for building escrow integrations on Stellar using Trustless Work. It teaches your AI assistant how to correctly integrate: * Trustless Work REST API * `@trustless-work/escrow` * `@trustless-work/blocks` The skill includes architecture guidance, API references, integration patterns, lifecycle flows, and production best practices. *** ## What the Skill Teaches the AI The skill helps the AI understand critical implementation details such as: * Every write operation returns an unsigned XDR transaction that must be signed by the correct wallet * Trustline fields require the Stellar issuer address (`G...`) — not the contract address (`C...`) * Trustlines must be added directly from the user's wallet * Correct provider nesting order: \ \ \ * Milestone approvals are irreversible on-chain * API rate limits and retry patterns * Correct XDR signing workflows * Recommended frontend architecture patterns * Production integration checklists *** ## Supported AI Agents Currently supported: * Claude Code * Gemini CLI *** ## Keeping the Skill Updated To update installed skills to the latest version: ``` npx skills update ``` This refreshes all installed skill files and ensures your AI assistant stays aligned with the latest Trustless Work APIs and SDKs. *** ## Verifying Your Integration The Trustless Work skill also includes integration verification capabilities. The verifier statically analyzes your codebase and detects common integration mistakes before deployment. It can validate: ### REST API integrations * API key usage * Environment variable configuration * Correct XDR signing flows * Proper base URLs * Rate limit handling ### SDK integrations (`@trustless-work/escrow`) * Provider setup * Wallet integration * QueryClient configuration * Engagement handling * Client component requirements ### Blocks integrations (`@trustless-work/blocks`) * Dependency installation * Provider nesting order * Wallet configuration * Approval UX patterns * Trustline guidance flows --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
