cardano-build

Build interactive educational resources, prototypes, and technical documentation about Cardano node architecture. Use when the user mentions Cardano node, Ouroboros Praos, ChainSync, BlockFetch, TxSubmission, KeepAlive, CBOR/CDDL encoding, ledger rules, Plutus, epoch boundary, block production, KES/VRF, multiplexer, ChainDB, or alternative node implementation. Also use for Cardano-related protocol state machines, consensus mechanisms, or the open challenge to vibe-code an alternative node.

Use this skill for any task related to the cardano.build community developer resources website. This includes: updating or adding new resources, tools, SDKs, or links to the site; redesigning or modifying the site's HTML/CSS/JS; maintaining alignment with Cardano core branding (dark theme, Cardano blue #0033AD, starburst logo, Plus Jakarta Sans typography); editing the YAML data source for resource entries; managing the A2A agent.json discovery file; creating or updating diagrams, cheat sheets, or educational content for the Cardano developer community; working with the GitHub Pages deployment (Jekyll, GitHub Actions); and any reference to 'cardano.build', 'BuildingOnCardano', or the selfdriven Foundation's developer resource index. Also trigger when the user asks about Cardano developer ecosystem tooling, community channels, smart contract languages (Aiken, Plutus, Helios, OpShin), SDKs (MeshJS, Lucid, PyCardano), infrastructure (Demeter, TxPipe, Blockfrost, Koios), identity/SSI on Cardano, or Cardano govern

Find, summarize, and curate developer resources from the Cardano.Build index (https://cardano.build/). Use this when the user asks for Cardano developer starting points, tools, libraries, tutorials, SSI/identity, infrastructure, APIs, or “where do I start” type guidance. Focus on build-related material (not price/markets). Produce concise, categorized results with links and short rationales. Prefer official docs and recent, maintained resources.
