# Tempo

Skill for building applications on the Tempo network.

## Capabilities

- Navigate Tempo documentation and protocol specs
- Browse source code for tempoxyz/tempo (Rust node) and tempoxyz/tempo-ts (TypeScript SDK)
- Access related libraries: viem, wagmi, reth, foundry

## MCP Tools

Use these tools to explore Tempo:

| Tool | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `mcp__tempo__list_pages` | List all documentation pages |
| `mcp__tempo__read_page` | Read a specific documentation page |
| `mcp__tempo__search_docs` | Search documentation |
| `mcp__tempo__list_sources` | List available source repositories |
| `mcp__tempo__list_source_files` | List files in a directory |
| `mcp__tempo__read_source_file` | Read a source code file |
| `mcp__tempo__get_file_tree` | Get recursive file tree |
| `mcp__tempo__search_source` | Search source code |

## Available Sources

- `tempoxyz/tempo` – Tempo node (Rust)
- `tempoxyz/tempo-ts` – TypeScript SDK
- `paradigmxyz/reth` – Reth Ethereum client
- `foundry-rs/foundry` – Foundry toolkit
- `wevm/viem` – TypeScript Ethereum interface
- `wevm/wagmi` – React hooks for Ethereum

## Workflow

1. **Search docs first**: Use `mcp__tempo__search_docs` to find relevant documentation
2. **Read pages**: Use `mcp__tempo__read_page` with the page path
3. **Explore source**: Use `mcp__tempo__search_source` or `mcp__tempo__get_file_tree` to find implementations
4. **Read code**: Use `mcp__tempo__read_source_file` to examine specific files

## Key Concepts

- **TIP-20**: Native stablecoin standard (like ERC-20 but built into the protocol)
- **Tempo Transactions**: Enhanced transaction format with sub-blocks and parallel execution
- **Fee Sponsorship**: Pay transaction fees on behalf of users
- **Stablecoin DEX**: Native exchange for stablecoin pairs
