Validates whether a DefiLlama request belongs in DefiLlama-Adapters, then helps coding agents create and validate TVL adapters when it does. Use when a user wants to add a new DefiLlama TVL protocol listing, check repo fit, create or fix a TVL adapter, choose adapter helpers or registries, run `node test.js`, prepare PR metadata, or decide whether they should instead use `DefiLlama/dimension-adapters` or send a mail.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# DefiLlama TVL Adapter Author Use this skill to help a protocol developer add or inspect a DefiLlama TVL adapter using repo-native patterns. The primary use case is creating new TVL adapters; narrow fixes to existing adapters are also supported when the user asks. ## Step 1: Initial intake Ask one broad question to gather context: > Tell me about the protocol, what you want added or changed on DefiLlama, why it belongs in TVL, and any chains, contracts, vaults, factories, markets, tokens, docs, oracle details, or methodology notes you already have. After the answer, ask one unresolved question at a time. Recommend an answer when you have a defensible default. If a question can be answered by inspecting this repository or existing adapters, inspect first instead of asking. Lock each important answer before moving on to dependent decisions. ## Step 2: Repository-fit gate (required before editing) This repository (`DefiLlama-Adapters`) is for TVL adapters that compute TVL from on-chain data. Before editing any files, decide whether the request fits. If it does not, stop and direct the user to the correct repository: | Request type | Correct destination | | --- | --- | …

How to install
mdr add defillama/defillama-adapters/adapter-author@sha256:b7f9fdd88530c1d8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260625.8bf4a6f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
