description	Explain the Starknet contract class ABI, entry points, selectors, and dispatcher usage; use when a request involves ABI JSON, entry point metadata, or how calldata is encoded for contracts.

Cairo Contract Class ABI

Overview

Explain what the contract class ABI contains and how entry points are represented and called.

Quick Use

• Read references/contract-class-abi.md before answering.
• Distinguish ABI JSON (off-chain) from dispatcher patterns (on-chain).
• Include selector and entry point type when explaining invocation.

Response Checklist

• Identify the entry point type: external, view, constructor, or L1 handler.
• Mention selectors are computed from function names.
• Explain calldata serialization per ABI when asked about argument encoding.

Example Requests

• "What does the contract ABI include?"
• "How is an entry point selector computed?"
• "How do I encode arguments for a contract call?"
