contract-decode SKILL.md skillA

contract-decode from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/contract-decode@git:20260309.0aecf29

Pins git:20260309.0aecf29 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

EVM contract error and calldata decoder. Use when: user pastes hex revert data, calldata, function selector, or mentions custom error, execution reverted, 4byte, decode. Input contains 0x + 8+ hex chars.

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

# Contract Decode — EVM Error & Calldata Decoder

Decode EVM contract function selectors, custom errors, calldata, and revert data.

## Trigger

- Keywords: revert, selector, 4byte, calldata, decode, custom error, execution reverted, abi decode
- Message contains `0x` + 8+ hex chars (selector or revert data)

## When NOT to Use

- Standard `Error(string)` revert already handled by your codebase
- Non-EVM chain errors
- Only need error code definitions (not hex decoding)

## Input Parsing

Extract from user input:

| Field | Source | Example |
|-------|--------|---------|
| `revertData` | Error data or user-pasted hex | `0xaca553e4` |
| `calldata` | Transaction data | `0x5e15c749000...1c05` |
| `contractAddr` | Contract address | `0x5874...f064` |
| `chainId` | Chain identifier | `1` (Ethereum mainnet) |

## Workflow

```
Step 1: Classify input → Step 2: Local fast decode → Step 3: ABI query → Step 4: Precise decode → Report
```

### Step 1: Classify Input

| Length | Classification | Next Step |
|--------|---------------|-----------|
| 4 bytes (`0x` + 8 hex) | Pure selector | Step 2 |
| > 4 bytes, with selector prefix | Calldata or revert data | Step 2 + Step 3 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/contract-decode@sha256:0515628660da0095

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260309.0aecf29, 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.
