Curated prompts to help your AI agent build with Arete. These are designed to be copied directly into your agent chat (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) to automate discovery and implementation.

:::note[Skills required]
These prompts assume the Arete agent skills are installed. The skills teach your agent the SDK patterns, CLI commands, and when to run `a4 explore` — so you don't have to spell it out in every prompt.

Not installed yet? See [Editor Setup](/agent-skills/setup/) to get started.

## Consuming ORE (React)

### Live ORE Mining Dashboard

Build a React + Vite app that shows live ORE mining data. Display:
- Current round number and motherlode amount
- Total miners and total SOL deployed
- Countdown to round expiration
- Connection status indicator

Use Tailwind for styling.

**What you should get:** A React app with `AreteProvider`, `useArete` hook, live-updating round stats, and a connection badge.

### ORE Round History Table

Build a React component that shows a table of historical ORE mining rounds. Columns: Round #, Motherlode, Total Miners, Deploy Count, Top Miner (truncated address), and whether the motherlode was hit. Sort by round descending. Add a filter for minimum motherlode amount.

**What you should get:** A paginated or scrollable table showing historical ORE rounds with real-time updates as new rounds complete.

### Live ORE Grid Heatmap

Build a React component that visualizes the current ORE mining round as an interactive 5x5 grid heatmap. Use `OreRound.latest` to get the live round data. For each square, show the deployed SOL amount (`state.deployed_per_square_ui`) with color intensity based on the amount. Show miner counts per square (`state.count_per_square`) on hover. Include a countdown to round expiration using `state.estimated_expires_at_unix`. Highlight the winning square (`results.winning_square`) when the round completes.

**What you should get:** A live-updating visual grid showing where miners are deploying SOL in the current round, with real-time countdown and win detection.

## Consuming ORE (TypeScript CLI)

### ORE Round Monitor CLI

Build a TypeScript CLI tool that monitors ORE mining rounds in real-time. On each update, print: Round number, motherlode amount, total miners, total deployed, deploy count, and time until expiration. Exit cleanly on Ctrl+C.

**What you should get:** A terminal utility that prints a clean, live-updating summary of every ORE round.

### ORE Treasury Tracker

Build a TypeScript script that tracks the ORE treasury state in real-time. Log: treasury balance, motherlode, total staked, total refined, and total unclaimed. Calculate and display the percentage of ORE that is staked vs unclaimed.

**What you should get:** A script for monitoring treasury health and distribution metrics.

## Building Custom Stacks

### Build a custom stack for [Protocol X]

I want to build a Arete stack that tracks [describe the protocol and what data you want]. The program ID is [PROGRAM_ID]. Find the IDL and build a stack that defines entities for the account types I want to track.

**What you should get:** The agent finds or guides you to the IDL, then scaffolds a new Arete project with entities, field mappings, and views.

### Add a new entity to my stack

I have an existing Arete stack and I want to add a new entity that tracks [describe account type]. The IDL is already at `idl/[program].json`. Add an entity for the [AccountName] account with appropriate sections and field mappings, following the same patterns as the existing entities.

**What you should get:** A new entity definition added to your `stack.rs` with correct type mappings from the IDL.

---

## Exploring and Discovery

### What data is available?

Run `a4 explore --json` and tell me what Arete stacks are available. For each stack, run `a4 explore [stack-name] --json` to list the entities. Then for the most interesting entities, run `a4 explore [stack-name] [Entity] --json` to show me the fields and types. Summarize what data I can stream from each stack.

**What you should get:** A comprehensive overview of all data you can currently access through your Arete installation.
