In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a new Aptos app, dApp, smart-contract project, or full-stack project with Vite or Next.js. It provides the starting structure before contract, testing, deployment, and frontend work.
Why use it?
It removes the need to assemble the starting files by hand and helps keep the project setup consistent. It also checks important setup details such as keeping environment secrets out of version control.

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

create-aptos-project 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 10d 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.

Create Aptos Project Skill

Purpose

Scaffold new Aptos projects using npx create-aptos-dapp. This is the mandatory first step when a user wants to build any new Aptos app, dApp, or project — regardless of how they phrase it.

ALWAYS

  1. Use npx create-aptos-dapp to scaffold — NEVER create projects from scratch manually
  2. Ask the user about project type, framework, and network before scaffolding
  3. Verify .env is in .gitignore before any git operations
  4. Use the same network for both create-aptos-dapp and aptos init
  5. Follow the full Build a dApp workflow after scaffolding (contracts, tests, audit, deploy, frontend)

NEVER

  1. Skip scaffolding — even for "simple" projects, always start with create-aptos-dapp
  2. Create project structure manually — the boilerplate template handles this
  3. Display or read private keys — use "0x..." as placeholder
  4. Run git add . or git add -A without first verifying .env is in .gitignore

Decision Tree

Before running the scaffold command, gather these inputs from the user:

1. Project Name

Derive from the user's description or ask directly. Use kebab-case (e.g., habit-tracker, nft-marketplace).

2. Project Type

Option When to Use
Fullstack (default) User wants a frontend + smart contracts
Contract-only User only wants Move smart contracts (no frontend)

3. Framework (fullstack only)

Option When to Use
Vite (default) Default choice, lighter setup
Next.js User asks for Next.js or SSR

4. Network

Option When to Use
devnet (default) Development and testing
testnet Pre-production, user explicitly asks
mainnet Production, user explicitly asks

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.
