AI skills that give Claude Code (and other AI assistants) deep knowledge of Mesh SDK packages. Once installed, your AI assistant understands the full API, common patterns, and troubleshooting — no more searching through docs.

Why Use This?

Building on Cardano with Mesh SDK has a learning curve. These skills eliminate that friction:

Challenge Without Skills	With Skills Installed
Must read extensive docs to understand API	AI assistant already knows the full API
Trial-and-error for transaction patterns	Ask "build a transaction that sends 5 ADA" and get working code
Debugging cryptic Cardano errors	Troubleshooting guides built into AI context
Forgetting method order (e.g., `spendingPlutusScriptV2()` before `txIn()`)	AI knows the correct order
Looking up CIP standards	AI understands CIP-30, CIP-8, etc.

Available Skills

Skill	Package	Description
transaction	`@meshsdk/transaction`	MeshTxBuilder API, minting, Plutus scripts, governance
wallet	`@meshsdk/wallet`	Browser wallets, headless wallets, signing, CIP-30
core-cst	`@meshsdk/core-cst`	Serialization, resolvers, Plutus data, low-level utilities

Installation

Option 1: Claude Code (Recommended)

# Install all skills
claude skill add @meshsdk/ai-skills

# Or link specific skill from source
claude skill link ./transaction

Option 2: Manual Installation

Copy skill folders to Claude Code's skill directory:

cp -r transaction ~/.claude/skills/mesh-transaction
cp -r wallet ~/.claude/skills/mesh-wallet
cp -r core-cst ~/.claude/skills/mesh-core-cst

Option 3: Project-Local (Team-Wide)

Add to your repository so the whole team gets the skills:

mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r transaction .claude/skills/mesh-transaction
cp -r wallet .claude/skills/mesh-wallet
cp -r core-cst .claude/skills/mesh-core-cst

Commit to git — any team member using Claude Code gets the skills when they clone the repo.

Option 4: Cursor IDE

# Single skill
cp transaction/SKILL.md .cursorrules

# Multiple skills
cat transaction/SKILL.md wallet/SKILL.md > .cursorrules

How It Works

Each skill defines triggers in its frontmatter. When you mention trigger words like "mesh", "cardano transaction", or "browser wallet", the AI loads the relevant context including:

Full API reference — Every method, parameter, and return type
Common patterns — Working code recipes for typical tasks
Troubleshooting — Solutions to common errors

Usage Examples

Once installed, ask your AI assistant:

"Build a transaction that sends 5 ADA"
"How do I mint an NFT with Mesh?"
"Help me connect a browser wallet"
"Show me how to interact with a Plutus script"
"Why am I getting 'missing required signer' error?"
