algokit-utils-ts

algokit-utils-ts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from algorand-devrel/algorand-agent-skills. It costs 257 tokens per session (1,848 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A TypeScript guide for AlgoKit Utils, a library for building applications on the Algorand blockchain. It covers clients, accounts, payments, digital assets, transaction groups, and smart contracts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up Algorand clients, managing accounts, creating payments or asset transfers, grouping transactions, or deploying and calling smart contracts.
Why use it?
It helps developers use the library's recommended TypeScript patterns instead of assembling lower-level blockchain calls themselves. The guide also points to focused references for specific tasks.

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

algokit-utils-ts 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 9d 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.

AlgoKit Utils TypeScript — Quick Reference

This skill targets version 10.x of @algorandfoundation/algokit-utils.

This skill provides idiomatic patterns for @algorandfoundation/algokit-utils (TypeScript). When helping users, prefer the patterns below over raw algosdk calls — AlgoKit Utils wraps the SDK with higher-level, type-safe abstractions.

How to use this skill

Reference docs are split into individual files under references/. Only read the file(s) relevant to the user's question — this keeps context lean. The table below maps topics to filenames.

Key concepts

  • AlgorandClient is the single entry point. Create one via AlgorandClient.defaultLocalNet(), .testNet(), .mainNet(), .fromConfig(), or .fromEnvironment().
  • AlgoAmount provides type-safe Algo/microAlgo values. Use algo(5), microAlgo(1000), AlgoAmount.Algo(5), or the prototype extensions (5).algo().
  • AccountManager (algorand.account.*) handles key generation, mnemonics, multisig, logic sigs, funding, and signer registration.
  • TransactionComposer (algorand.newGroup()) builds atomic groups with fluent chaining. Supports .addPayment(), .addAssetTransfer(), .addAppCallMethodCall(), etc.
  • AppFactory creates and deploys smart contracts from ARC-56/ARC-32 app specs. Supports idempotent deploy with onUpdate/onSchemaBreak strategies and template variable substitution.
  • AppClient interacts with deployed contracts — ABI method calls, state reads (global, local, box), bare calls, and the params builder for deferred composition.
  • Raw app calls via algorand.send.appCall(), .appCreate(), .appUpdate(), .appDelete(), .appCallMethodCall(), .appCreateMethodCall() when you don't have an app spec.
  • Crypto primitives are exposed via @algorandfoundation/algokit-utils/crypto (re-exporting @algorandfoundation/algokit-crypto). This subpath carries Ed25519 keypair generation/signing/verification (ed25519Generator, ed25519Verifier), Algorand's SHA-512/256 hash, the Peikert xHD BIP44 wallet (peikertXHdWalletGenerator), and the wrapped-secret pattern for HSM/KMS-backed keys (WrappedEd25519Seed, WrappedHdExtendedPrivateKey, ed25519SigningKeyFromWrappedSecret). Reach for it when you are building a custom RawEd25519Signer, deriving deterministic accounts from a seed, or computing Algorand-compatible hashes outside the transaction path.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
