deploy-contract

deploy-contract is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kenny-stacks/stacks-claude-plugin. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,578 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided process for deploying Clarity smart contracts, which are programs that run on the Stacks blockchain, to a test network or the live network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and deploy contracts to Stacks testnet or mainnet, with a network choice and safety prompts.
Why use it?
It checks compilation, tests, and optionally coverage before deployment, reducing the chance of sending faulty code to a blockchain.

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

deploy-contract 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 5d 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.

Deploy Contract Skill

This skill guides safe deployment of Clarity contracts to Stacks testnet or mainnet.

When to Use

  • User wants to deploy contracts to testnet
  • User wants to deploy contracts to mainnet
  • User asks about deployment process
  • After development is complete and user is ready to go live

Instructions

Step 1: Pre-Flight Checks

Run these checks before any deployment:

1.1 Contract Compilation:

clarinet check

If this fails, stop and help fix errors first.

1.2 Test Suite:

npm run test 2>&1 | tail -20

If tests fail, strongly recommend fixing before deployment.

1.3 Test Coverage (Recommended):

npm run test:coverage 2>&1 | grep -A 5 "Coverage summary" || echo "No coverage script found"

Tell the user: "Pre-flight check results:

  • Contracts compile: [PASS/FAIL]
  • Tests pass: [PASS/FAIL]
  • Coverage: [X%] (recommend 90%+ for production)

[If any fail]: I recommend fixing these issues before deploying. [If all pass]: Ready for deployment. Which network?"

Step 2: Network Selection

Ask the user: "Which network would you like to deploy to?

  1. Testnet (Recommended for first deployment)

    • Free STX from faucet
    • Safe for testing
    • Contracts can be redeployed with fresh accounts
  2. Mainnet

    • Real STX required
    • Contracts are permanent and immutable
    • Requires extra safety checks

Which would you prefer?"

Step 3A: Testnet Deployment

Generate deployment plan:

clarinet deployments generate --testnet

This creates deployments/default.testnet-plan.yaml.

Show the deployment plan:

cat deployments/default.testnet-plan.yaml

Explain what will be deployed and estimated costs.

Check STX balance:

Tell the user: "Before deploying, ensure your testnet account has STX for transaction fees.

Get free testnet STX:

  1. Visit the Stacks Testnet Faucet: https://explorer.hiro.so/sandbox/faucet?chain=testnet
  2. Enter your testnet address
  3. Request STX (may take a few minutes)
