chainlink-ace-skill

chainlink-ace-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from smartcontractkit/chainlink-agent-skills. It costs 168 tokens per session (2,661 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide for working with Chainlink ACE, a system for applying compliance rules to blockchain transactions and related reporting. It covers the open-source contracts and the managed ACE Platform using their official sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to integrate or self-deploy ACE contracts, create policies and related components, and work with policy, coordinator, reporting, auditor, and platform workflows.
Why use it?
It helps separate the open-source contract work from managed-platform behavior, so developers use the right documentation and avoid relying on outdated or unsupported details.

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 C, and why

chainlink-ace-skill scanned grade C with 2 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 7d 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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

2. Do not refuse mainnet or production questions solely because they involve ACE. Instead, call out production licensing, security review, and explicit approval requirements.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

4. If WebFetch is available, use it first. If it returns insufficient content, try `curl -L <official-url>`.

Overview

Help users build with Chainlink ACE. For open-source contract integration, treat the public smartcontractkit/chainlink-ace repository as the source of truth. For managed ACE Platform, Beta scope, product APIs, supported networks, and auditor/reporting workflows, treat official Chainlink ACE docs on docs.chain.link/ace as the source of truth and verify freshness when claims could have changed.

Progressive Disclosure

  1. Keep this file as the default guide.
  2. Read references/platform-and-beta.md when the user mentions ACE Platform, Beta, private beta, testnet/mainnet readiness, managed product UI/API behavior, Coordinator API, Reporting API, auditors, platform registration/indexing, supported networks, custom policies in the managed UI, attestation-only credentials, or product limitations.
  3. Read references/getting-started-and-scope.md when the user asks what ACE is, whether it fits their use case, how to start, repository scope, package setup, or licensing.
  4. Read references/onchain-contracts.md when the user mentions the chainlink-ace GitHub repo, self-deployment, Foundry, audited contracts, custom policies/extractors/mappers, upgrade an existing contract, or BUSL/prod licensing.
  5. Read references/architecture.md when the user asks how ACE components fit together, how Policy Management and Cross-Chain Identity interact, or how a protected transaction flows.
  6. Read references/policy-management.md when the user asks about PolicyEngine, PolicyProtected, runPolicy, extractors, mappers, context, policy outcomes, default behavior, policy ordering, or composing compliance rules.
  7. Read references/policy-library.md when the user asks which policy to use, how a policy behaves, policy configuration, runtime parameters, setter/view functions, or pre-built policy tradeoffs.
  8. Read references/cross-chain-identity.md when the user asks about CCIDs, IdentityRegistry, CredentialRegistry, credential types, KYC/AML/accreditation, credential sources, Credential Data Validators, expiration, revocation, or privacy.
  9. Read references/contracts-and-source.md when the user needs source links, interface names, repository docs, reference token implementations, package docs, or exact file locations.
  10. Read references/official-sources.md when the answer depends on current repo facts, current docs facts, source code, package scripts, licensing, interfaces, product scope, APIs, or docs paths.
  11. Read assets/ace-docs-index.md only when you need a map of public repository documentation covered by this skill.
  12. Do not load reference files speculatively.

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.
