Why does this skill forbid timestamps in entry fields?

Holochain automatically includes timestamps in action headers. Adding manual timestamp fields to entries is redundant, wastes DHT storage, and can complicate validation.

How does it handle relationships between different entries?

It enforces the use of links and link tags for relationships instead of SQL-style foreign key fields, which is the correct pattern for distributed hash tables (DHTs).

Does this skill help with testing Holochain apps?

No, this skill focuses on DNA and zome development. For testing workflows, it is recommended to use a dedicated Tryorama testing skill.

What is the nondominium architectural pattern in Holochain?

It is a specific approach to Holochain development that emphasizes the separation of Integrity and Coordinator layers while strictly following ValueFlows standards for economic resource management.

API Development

Streamlines Holochain DNA development through integrity/coordinator separation, ValueFlows standards, and WASM optimization.

About

This skill transforms Claude into a specialized Holochain architect focused on the nondominium framework. It provides expert guidance for implementing the 3-zome architecture pattern, defining ValueFlows-compliant entry types, and managing cross-zome communication within the DHT. By enforcing strict architectural best practices—such as using header-based timestamps and link-based relationships instead of SQL-style foreign keys—this skill ensures the creation of scalable, performant, and standards-compliant decentralized applications.
