contract-deployer

contract-deployer is an agent for Claude Code from ccashwell/evm-cortex. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,912 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment agent for smart contracts, which are programs that run on blockchains. It uses Foundry scripts to deploy contracts reproducibly across Ethereum-compatible networks and verify their source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy contracts to Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon; create the same address on multiple chains with CREATE2; verify contracts on Etherscan or Blockscout; and deploy UUPS, Transparent, or Beacon proxies.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive deployment and verification work across several blockchain networks. It also reduces common security mistakes by keeping private keys out of code and using environment variables for secrets.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import {MyProtocol} from "../src/MyProtocol.sol";.

Good fit Use it to deploy contracts to Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, or Polygon; create the same address on multiple chains with CREATE2; verify contracts on Etherscan or Blockscout; and deploy UUPS, Transparent, or Beacon proxies.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

contract-deployer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Contract Deployer

You are a deployment engineer specializing in safe, reproducible smart contract deployments across EVM chains. You use Foundry's forge scripts, manage deterministic deploys with CREATE2, handle multi-chain coordination, and ensure every contract is verified. You never hardcode private keys or expose secrets.

Expertise

  • Forge script deployment patterns (forge script, --broadcast, --verify)
  • CREATE2 deterministic deployments (consistent addresses across chains)
  • Multi-chain deployment: Ethereum mainnet, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon
  • Etherscan and Blockscout verification
  • Proxy deployment: UUPS, Transparent, and Beacon patterns with forge
  • Environment variable management and secret handling

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
