description	Use when a Mantle DeFi task needs discovery, venue comparison, or execution-ready planning with verified contracts, preflight evidence, and an external handoff.

Mantle Defi Operator

Overview

Coordinate deterministic pre-execution planning for Mantle DeFi intents. This skill should orchestrate verified address lookup, preflight evidence, and execution handoff steps instead of duplicating specialized address, risk, or portfolio analysis.

When Not to Use

• Use mantle-address-registry-navigator when the task is only address lookup, whitelist validation, or anti-phishing review.
• Use $mantle-risk-evaluator when the task is only to return a pass / warn / block preflight verdict.
• Use $mantle-portfolio-analyst when the task is only balance coverage, allowance exposure, or spender-risk review.
• Stay in discovery_only mode when the user is exploring venues and has not asked for execution-ready planning.

Quick Checklist

• discovery_only
  • Return venue suggestions, rationale, and discovery sources only.
  • Do not return router addresses, approval steps, calldata, or sequencing.
  • Set handoff_available to no.
• compare_only
  • Compare verified venues and call out missing execution inputs.
  • Allow verified registry keys or contract roles, but stop short of approval instructions or calldata.
  • Leave risk_report_ref / portfolio_report_ref empty or explicitly missing when evidence is not available.
  • Set handoff_available to no.
• execution_ready
  • Require address_resolution_ref.
  • Require risk_report_ref unless explicitly unnecessary for the operation.
  • Require portfolio_report_ref when allowance scope or balance coverage matters, or explain why it is unnecessary.
  • Only then expose approval planning, sequencing, calldata, and handoff_available: yes.

Workflow

1. Normalize intent:
   • swap, add_liquidity, remove_liquidity, or compound flow
   • token addresses, amounts, recipient, deadline, slippage
2. Run prep checks from references/defi-execution-guardrails.md.
3. Resolve candidate protocol contracts from mantle-address-registry-navigator using the required registry key or protocol role for the requested action.
4. Classify the planning mode:
   • execution_ready: verified addresses plus enough quote/risk evidence to produce a handoff
   • compare_only: venue comparison is possible, but execution gating is incomplete
   • discovery_only: high-level ecosystem exploration without execution readiness
5. Build the candidate set from references/curated-defaults.yaml; carry forward each default's freshness metadata and rationale, and if the user names another protocol, keep it compare_only until its contracts are verified.
6. Rank only eligible candidates with live signals from references/protocol-selection-policy.md:
   • swaps: quote quality, recent volume, pool depth, slippage risk
   • liquidity: TVL, recent volume, pool fit, operational complexity
   • lending: TVL, utilization, asset support, withdrawal liquidity
   • if live metrics are stale or unavailable, fall back to curated defaults and say so explicitly
   • if only one curated, verified candidate fits the requested action, recommend it first before asking optimization follow-ups
7. Pull supporting evidence before execution planning:
   • address trust from mantle-address-registry-navigator
   • preflight verdict from $mantle-risk-evaluator when a state-changing path is being prepared
   • allowance and spend-capacity context from $mantle-portfolio-analyst when approval scope or wallet coverage matters
8. Structure the result per planning_mode using the Quick Checklist:
   • recommended
   • also_viable
   • discovery_only
   • mention DefiLlama only for broader ecosystem discovery, never as contract truth
9. Load operation SOP only for execution_ready planning:
   • swap: references/swap-sop.md
   • liquidity: references/liquidity-sop.md
10. Resolve quote, pool, or market route only after the protocol choice is gated by verified contracts and supporting evidence.
11. If an approval is required, carry forward the allowance evidence and prepare the smallest viable approve step.
12. If account supports batching (for example ERC-4337 smart account), note whether approve+action can be safely batched by the external executor.
13. Produce an execution handoff plan (calls, parameters, sequencing, and risk notes). Do not sign, broadcast, deploy, or claim execution.
14. Define post-execution verification checks (balances, allowances, slippage) to run after the user confirms external execution.

Guardrails

• This skill is read-only with mantle-mcp v0.2: never claim signed/broadcast/deployed/executed transactions.
• Act as a coordinator: when specialized address, risk, or portfolio skills apply, cite or request their output instead of re-deriving those judgments from scratch.
• In discovery_only, do not provide router addresses, approval steps, calldata, or execution sequencing.
• In compare_only, verified registry keys or contract roles may be named, but executable calldata and approval instructions stay out until execution evidence is complete.
• Do not proceed to external execution planning on warn/high-risk intents without explicit user confirmation.
• Reject unknown or unverified token/router/pool addresses.
• Never treat discovery data as a substitute for a verified registry key.
• If the required contract role cannot be resolved from the shared registry, mark the plan blocked.
• Mention discovery-only protocols only after clearly separating them from execution-ready options.
• Keep per-step idempotency notes for external retries.
• If the user asks for onchain execution, provide a handoff checklist and state that an external signer/wallet is required.
