contract-decode

contract-decode is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,465 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decoder for hexadecimal data from EVM-compatible blockchain transactions and contract errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect transaction input, decode function selectors, identify contract errors, and interpret execution failures when ABI or chain details are available.
Why use it?
It turns unreadable selectors, calldata, and revert data into the function calls or custom errors they represent.

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

contract-decode 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 3d 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 — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Contract Decode — EVM Error & Calldata Decoder

Decode EVM contract function selectors, custom errors, calldata, and revert data.

Trigger

  • Keywords: revert, selector, 4byte, calldata, decode, custom error, execution reverted, abi decode
  • Message contains 0x + 8+ hex chars (selector or revert data)

When NOT to Use

  • Standard Error(string) revert already handled by your codebase
  • Non-EVM chain errors
  • Only need error code definitions (not hex decoding)

Input Parsing

Extract from user input:

Field Source Example
revertData Error data or user-pasted hex 0xaca553e4
calldata Transaction data 0x5e15c749000...1c05
contractAddr Contract address 0x5874...f064
chainId Chain identifier 1 (Ethereum mainnet)

Workflow

Step 1: Classify input → Step 2: Local fast decode → Step 3: ABI query → Step 4: Precise decode → Report

Step 1: Classify Input

Length Classification Next Step
4 bytes (0x + 8 hex) Pure selector Step 2
> 4 bytes, with selector prefix Calldata or revert data Step 2 + Step 3
Contract address Need ABI first Step 3

Step 2: Local Fast Decode (no external dependencies)

Try in order:

2a. Standard error decode

Selector Type Decode Method
0x08c379a0 Error(string) cast abi-decode "Error(string)" <data>
0x4e487b71 Panic(uint256) cast abi-decode "Panic(uint256)" <data> → lookup panic code

Panic code reference:

Code Meaning
0x00 generic compiler panic
0x01 assert failure
0x11 arithmetic overflow
0x12 division by zero
0x21 enum conversion
0x22 storage encoding
0x31 pop empty array
0x32 array out of bounds
0x41 too much memory
0x51 zero function pointer

2b. Selector lookup (cast) — optional, skip if cast not installed

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.

contract-decode is a skill published in the GitHub repository sd0xdev/sd0x-harness (188 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,465 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
