Flow Defi
Architecture guide for building DeFi protocols on the Flow blockchain. Covers Flow's DeFi-specific advantages (MEV-free EVM, cross-VM atomic transactions, on-chain automation), core DeFi primitives (lending health factors, interest rate kink models, AMM type selection), liquidity bootstrapping strategy (veFLOW, Merkl, CL ranges, bootstrapping benchmarks), and the current Flow DeFi ecosystem map (existing protocols, missing primitives, opportunity analysis). TRIGGER when: designing a lending protocol on Flow, choosing AMM type for a DEX, liquidity bootstrapping strategy, veFLOW mechanics, "how does Flow DeFi work", "AMM types on Flow", "liquidity bootstrapping", "Flow DeFi ecosystem", "cross-VM composability for DeFi", "health factors", "interest rate curves", "collateral design", "DEX TVL", "Merkl integration", "missing DeFi primitives on Flow", "perp DEX on Flow", "launchpad on Flow", "COA pattern", "MEV-free EVM". DO NOT TRIGGER when: designing token economics (use flow-tokenomics), asking about Cadence syntax (use cadence-lang).

From the source SKILL.md
Design and build DeFi protocols on Flow — covering architectural advantages, core primitives, liquidity strategy, and the ecosystem landscape.
What this skill does
Flow Defi is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/flow-defi/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The Flow Defi Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 115,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
How to install

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the Flow Defi Claude Code skill?

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Flow Defi skill?
Use Flow Defi when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the architecture area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Flow Defi" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at
/category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Flow Defi skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a
SKILL.md file that lives under
~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Flow Defi is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category. Learn more at
/learn/what-is-a-claude-skill/.
