Overview

# Stellar Development Skill

A comprehensive AI skill for modern Stellar development (January 2026 best practices).

Inspired by [solana-foundation/solana-dev-skill](https://github.com/solana-foundation/solana-dev-skill) and [cloudflare/skills](https://github.com/cloudflare/skills).

> [!NOTE]

> This skill was AI-generated using [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) and is currently under manual review. We welcome contributions! Please submit PRs, open issues, or provide feedback to help improve this resource for the Stellar ecosystem.

Overview

This skill provides AI assistants with deep knowledge of the current Stellar development ecosystem:

Smart Contracts: Soroban (Rust SDK, WebAssembly)
Client SDKs: stellar-sdk (JavaScript), Python, Go, Rust
APIs: Stellar RPC (preferred), Horizon (legacy)
Assets: Stellar Assets, Stellar Asset Contract (SAC)
Wallets: Freighter, Stellar Wallets Kit, Smart Accounts (passkeys)
Testing: Local Quickstart, Testnet, Unit tests
Security: Soroban-specific patterns, audit checklists
Ecosystem: DeFi protocols, developer tools, community projects

├── SKILL.md # Main skill definition (required)

├── contracts-soroban.md # Soroban smart contract development

```

The skill uses a progressive disclosure pattern. The main SKILL.md provides core guidance, and the AI reads the specialized markdown files only when needed for specific tasks.

Example Prompts

```

"Help me write a Soroban smart contract for a token"

"Set up a Next.js app with Freighter wallet connection"

"How do I deploy a contract to Stellar Testnet?"

"Create unit tests for my Soroban contract"

"Review this contract for security issues"

```
