Ethskills plugin for Grok Build
The missing knowledge between AI agents and production Ethereum.
How to install Ethskills in Grok Build
grok plugin install austintgriffith/ethskills --trustReview before you trust it. --trust lets this plugin's hooks, MCP servers and scripts run code on your computer. It's a community repo that neither xAI nor GrokStacks has reviewed, so read its code first.
We install this repo directly: Grok Build 1.0.62 can't install it through its own marketplace file. Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.
Command format: Grok Build's plugin guide
What we checked: on Oct 18, 2026 it installed with grok 1.0.62 and Grok found 20 skills. That's an install check only: we haven't run it in a live Grok session.
What it contains
Skills (20)
why-ethereum— Why build on Ethereum specifically. The AI agent angle — ERC-8004, x402, composability, permissionless deployment. Use when a user asks "should I build on Ethereum?", "why blockchain?", or when an agent needs to recommend a chain for a projship— End-to-end guide for AI agents — from a dApp idea to deployed production app. Fetch this FIRST, it routes you through all other skills.crops— Use for every Ethereum dApp architecture plan and for reviews of existing systems, trust assumptions, custody, admin keys, pause or upgrade powers, hosted infra (RPC, indexer, paymaster, bundler, frontend host, oracle, sequencer), privacy,protocol— How Ethereum evolves — EIP lifecycle, fork process, where decisions happen, and how to track upcoming changes. Use when your human asks about upcoming features, when building for future protocol capabilities, or when they want to propose agas— Current Ethereum gas prices, transaction costs, and the real economics of building on Ethereum today. Use when estimating costs, choosing between mainnet and L2s, or when a user asks about Ethereum being expensive. Counters thewallets— How to create, manage, and use Ethereum wallets. Covers EOAs, smart contract wallets, multisig (Safe), and account abstraction. Use this skill whenever you are sending transactions, signing messages, or managing funds. Includes guardrails fl2s— Ethereum Layer 2 landscape — Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, Scroll, Unichain, Celo, Robinhood Chain, and more. How they work, how to deploy on them, how to bridge, when to use which. Includes per-chain DeFi ecosystems and critical correcstandards— Ethereum token and protocol standards — ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-4337, ERC-8004, and newer standards. When to use each, how they work, key interfaces. Use when building tokens, NFTs, or choosing the right standard for a project.tools— Current Ethereum development tools, frameworks, libraries, RPCs, and block explorers. What actually works today for building on Ethereum. Includes tool discovery for AI agents — MCPs, abi.ninja, Foundry, Scaffold-ETH 2, Hardhat, and more. Ubuilding-blocks— DeFi legos and protocol composability on Ethereum and L2s. Major protocols per chain — Aerodrome on Base, GMX/Pendle on Arbitrum, Velodrome on Optimism — plus mainnet primitives (Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Curve). How they work, how to buildorchestration— How an AI agent plans, builds, and deploys a complete Ethereum dApp. The three-phase build system for Scaffold-ETH 2 projects. Use when building a full application on Ethereum — from contracts to frontend to production deployment on IPFS.addresses— Verified contract addresses for major Ethereum protocols across mainnet and L2s. Use this instead of guessing or hallucinating addresses. Includes Uniswap, Aave, Compound, Aerodrome, GMX, Pendle, Velodrome, Camelot, SyncSwap, Lido, Rocket Pconcepts— The essential mental models for building onchain — focused on what LLMs get wrong and what humans need explained. "Nothing is automatic" and "incentives are everything" are the core messages. Use when your human is new to onchain developmensecurity— Solidity security patterns, common vulnerabilities, and pre-deploy audit checklist. The specific code patterns that prevent real losses — not just warnings, but defensive implementations. Use before deploying any contract, when reviewing cotesting— Smart contract testing with Foundry — unit tests, fuzz testing, fork testing, invariant testing. Use when writing tests for a smart contract.indexing— How to read and query onchain data — events, The Graph, indexing patterns. Why you cannot just loop through blocks, and what to use instead.frontend-ux— Frontend UX rules for Ethereum dApps that prevent the most common AI agent UI bugs. Mandatory patterns for onchain buttons, approval flows, address UX, USD context, RPC reliability, theming, and pre-publish metadata. Use whenever you are bufrontend-playbook— The complete build-to-production pipeline for Ethereum dApps. Fork mode setup, IPFS deployment, Vercel config, ENS subdomain setup, and the full production checklist. Built around Scaffold-ETH 2 but applicable to any Ethereum frontend projeqa— Pre-ship audit checklist for Ethereum dApps built with Scaffold-ETH 2. Give this to a separate reviewer agent (or fresh context) AFTER the build is complete. Use this skill whenever you are finalizing a dApp built with Scaffold-ETH 2.audit— Deep EVM smart contract security audit system. Use when asked to audit a contract, find vulnerabilities, review code for security issues, or file security issues on a GitHub repo. Covers 500+ non-obvious checklist items across 19 domains vi
