protocol-config

A guide for changing or checking Sui protocol configuration, which controls blockchain behavior across Sui networks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing protocol settings, or when reviewing a branch that already contains such changes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent changes to a protocol version that has already been released, and checks related version history, network guards, and snapshots.

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

protocol-config 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 yesterday.

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.

Modify Protocol Config

Guides you through safely modifying the Sui protocol configuration, or verifies that existing changes were made correctly.

Usage

/protocol-config

When to Use

This skill serves two purposes:

  1. Making changes - Use this skill to guide you through adding new features or modifying protocol config settings.

  2. Verifying changes - Use this skill to check that protocol config changes already made in a branch are correct. This includes verifying that:

    • A new protocol version was created if needed (not modifying a released version)
    • The version history comment was added
    • Chain-specific guards are used appropriately
    • Snapshots were updated

When verifying existing work, follow steps 1-4 to confirm the changes are safe, then review the actual changes against the patterns in steps 5-7.

Background

The protocol config is defined in crates/sui-protocol-config/src/lib.rs. It controls blockchain behavior across all Sui networks. The critical constraint is:

Once a protocol version has been released to a production network, its settings CANNOT be changed.

This means if mainnet or testnet is running protocol version N, the settings for version N (and all prior versions) are frozen forever.

Instructions

1. Determine the most recently cut release branch

Find the latest release branch:

git fetch origin
git branch -r | grep 'origin/releases/sui-v' | grep -E '\-release$' | sort -V | tail -1

This returns something like origin/releases/sui-v1.66.0-release.

2. Check the max protocol version in the release branch

git show <release-branch>:crates/sui-protocol-config/src/lib.rs | grep 'const MAX_PROTOCOL_VERSION'

For example:

git show origin/releases/sui-v1.66.0-release:crates/sui-protocol-config/src/lib.rs | grep 'const MAX_PROTOCOL_VERSION'

3. Check the max protocol version in your feature branch

grep 'const MAX_PROTOCOL_VERSION' crates/sui-protocol-config/src/lib.rs

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.

protocol-config is a skill published in the GitHub repository MystenLabs/sui (7,741 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,381 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
