Getting Started with GenLayer
This guide helps developers build, deploy, and integrate Intelligent Contracts on GenLayer.
Start with Skills (Recommended)
The fastest path from zero to deployed contract is the GenLayer Skills (opens in a new tab) plugin for Claude Code. The genlayer-dev skill scaffolds a project, runs the linter and direct-mode tests, deploys to testnet, and walks you through the SDKs interactively.
claude /plugin marketplace add genlayerlabs/skills
claude /plugin install genlayer-dev@genlayerlabsThen run claude /genlayer-dev (or just ask Claude what to do next). The skill bundles the same workflows documented on this site — it just runs them for you.
Prefer to set things up manually or read the references first? The cards below cover every topic in depth, and the Tooling Setup page describes the manual install path.
