Sails Program Evolution
Overview
Plan how a released Sails contract evolves after deployment.
Use this skill when the work is no longer just “implement a feature”, but instead requires thinking about versioning, compatibility, cutover, ReadOnly handling, frontend/indexer impact, or migration from V1 to V2.
Start Here
Read ../../references/contract-interface-evolution.md, ../../references/gear-sails-production-patterns.md, ../../references/sails-idl-client-pipeline.md, and ../../references/sails-program-and-service-architecture.md.
Use ../../assets/architecture-template.md for the architecture note and ../../assets/task-plan-template.md for the ordered task plan.
Write outputs to:
docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-architecture.mddocs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-tasks.md
More from gear-foundation/vara-skills
vara-skills
Use when a builder needs the top-level router for the provisional standard Gear/Vara Sails skill pack across Codex, Claude, or OpenClaw. Do not use for Vara.eth or ethexe work, non-Sails programs, or broad protocol research.
206sails-new-app
Use when a builder is starting a new standard Gear/Vara Sails app and needs the correct greenfield sequence before implementation. Do not use for edits to an established repo, Vara.eth or ethexe targets, or non-Sails templates.
2sails-dev-env
Use when a builder needs to prepare or repair a local macOS, Linux, or Windows machine for standard Gear/Vara Sails Rust development before building, testing, or running a local node. Do not use for live-network deployment, app-specific feature work, or Vara.eth/ethexe-only setup.
2vara-wallet
Use when an agent needs to interact with Vara Network on-chain — deploy programs, call Sails methods, manage wallets, transfer tokens, monitor events. Not for building Sails programs (use vara-skills for that).
2sails-gtest
Use when a builder needs the standard Gear/Vara Sails gtest loop for feature verification, debugging, or regression coverage. Do not use for live-network-only validation, deployment-first workflows, or non-Sails programs.
2task-decomposer
Use when approved spec and architecture artifacts must become an ordered implementation plan for Gear or Vara work. Do not use when the architecture is still unsettled or when the request is only asking for a high-level idea.
