deploy

name	deploy
description	Multichain smart contract deployment with Etherscan verification. Requires explicit user confirmation before mainnet execution.
triggers	["deploy to","deploy this contract","ship to","deploy on","publish on","deploy contract","launch on"]
agent	orchestrator
model	sonnet

Purpose

Generates a deployment script for the target chain, presents it to the user for review, then executes it and verifies on Etherscan. Works with Foundry scripts or Hardhat Ignition.

Mainnet deployments always require explicit user confirmation. The pipeline halts after generating the script and resumes only after the user types "confirm" or "yes".

Workflow

1. Orchestrator calls eth_skill_start({ skill: "deploy", totalPhases: 1 })
2. Orchestrator spawns deploy-engineer with target chain and contract to deploy
3. deploy-engineer generates the deployment script and dry-runs it (no broadcast)
4. deploy-engineer presents deploy plan + estimated gas cost to user
5. HALT: orchestrator waits for user confirmation (mandatory for mainnet, skippable for testnet)
6. After confirmation: deploy-engineer executes the deployment and verifies on Etherscan
7. deploy-engineer writes deployments/<chain-id>/<ContractName>.json
8. Orchestrator spawns dapp-developer with the artifact path to update frontend
9. Orchestrator calls eth_reset()

Usage

"deploy to Sepolia"
"deploy the Vault contract to Arbitrum"
"ship the Token to Base mainnet"
"deploy on Polygon and update the frontend"

# Output:
- deployments/<chain-id>/<ContractName>.json
- Etherscan verification link
- Updated frontend integration (if dApp project detected)
