sui-beginner

sui-beginner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pivyme/suiperpower. It costs 46 tokens per session (2,000 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A beginner-friendly guide to Sui, a blockchain whose programs use the Move language. It explains Sui concepts by relating them to familiar ideas from Ethereum and Solana.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn Sui's object-based data model, Move types, ownership, programmable transactions, software libraries, and wallets.
Why use it?
It removes the confusion of starting with a new blockchain, unfamiliar programming model, and new transaction and ownership concepts.

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

sui-beginner 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Preamble (run first)

# Suiperpower telemetry. Routes through the CLI so projects.json + Convex stay in sync.
# Silent on failure so the skill never blocks. Opt out: SUIPERPOWER_TELEMETRY=off.
#
# AGENT NOTE: when this skill finishes, run the matching completion command:
#   suiperpower track sui-beginner learn completed
# Or use "failed" / "aborted" if it ended that way.
command -v suiperpower >/dev/null 2>&1 && suiperpower track sui-beginner learn started >/dev/null 2>&1 &
true

If TEL_PROMPTED is no, before doing real work, ask the user:

Help suiperpower get better. We track which skills get used and how long they take. No code, no file paths, no PII. Change anytime in ~/.suiperpower/config.json.

A) Sure, anonymous B) No thanks

Write the answer to ~/.suiperpower/config.json telemetryTier field and create ~/.suiperpower/.telemetry-prompted. Then continue.

What this skill does

Walks a new builder through the Sui mental model in the order it actually clicks: object-centric state, the Move type system, ownership, transactions as Programmable Transaction Blocks, and how the SDKs and wallets sit on top. The teaching is grounded in skills/data/sui-knowledge/ so the explanations stay in sync with the canonical knowledge base.

For builders coming from EVM or Solana, the skill adds a translation pass: each Sui concept is paired with the closest analogue from their previous chain, plus a clean note on where the analogy breaks. The point is to use the user's existing intuition, then mark the cliff.

When to use it

  • A first session on Sui, before scaffolding anything.
  • Right after find-next-sui-idea, when the user has picked an idea but has not yet built on Sui.
  • When the user has been writing Solidity or Anchor and is about to write their first Move module.

When NOT to use it

  • The user is already confident in Move and objects. Route to build-with-move or object-model-design.
  • The user wants a deep theoretical dive. Route to virtual-sui-incubator.
  • The user wants to ship now. Route to scaffold-project.

Changes

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.
