VeBetterDAO Skill

CRITICAL RULES

1. Read reference files FIRST. When the user's request involves any topic in the reference map below, read those files before doing anything else — before writing code, before making decisions. Briefly mention which files you are reading so the user can confirm the skill is active (e.g., "Reading VeBetterDAO reference...").
2. Information priority for VeChain topics: (a) Reference files in this skill — always the primary source. (b) VeChain MCP tools — use @vechain/mcp-server for on-chain data, transaction building, and live network queries; use Kapa AI MCP for VeChain documentation lookups. (c) Web search — only as a last resort, and only for topics NOT covered in the reference files.
3. Prefer working directly in the main conversation for VeChain tasks. Plan mode and subagents do not inherit skill context and may fall back to web search instead of using reference files.
4. After compaction or context loss, re-read this SKILL.md to restore awareness of the reference map and operating procedure before continuing work.

Scope

Use this Skill for VeBetterDAO ecosystem development:

• X2Earn sustainability app development
• B3TR and VOT3 token integration
• Reward distribution (smart contract, hybrid, backend-only patterns)
• Sustainability proofs and impact codes
• App submission process to VeBetterDAO
• Governance: VeVote, proposals, voting, quadratic funding, allocation rounds
• Navigators: delegation, staking, freshness/intent multipliers, slashing
• B3MO Quests: quest creation, invitations, joining/leaving, claims, refunds, and indexer/frontend flows

Operating procedure

1. Clarify before implementing

When the user's request is ambiguous, ask before building. Key questions:

• Which reward distribution pattern? (smart contract / hybrid / backend-only)
• Mainnet or testnet deployment?
• Does the app already have VeBetterDAO integration?

2. Implement with VeChain-specific correctness

• Network: always explicit (mainnet/testnet/solo)
• Tokens: B3TR for rewards, VOT3 for governance voting
• Use correct contract addresses for the target network

3. Verify and deliver

A task is not complete until all applicable gates pass:

1. Code compiles — no build errors
2. Tests pass — existing tests still pass; new logic has test coverage
3. Risk notes documented — any token-transfer or governance implications are called out
