Nostr Tools

About

This skill provides specialized knowledge for working with nostr-tools, the primary JavaScript/TypeScript library for the Nostr protocol. It enables developers to efficiently implement core features such as event creation and verification, key management with NIP-19 encoding, and complex relay interactions using SimplePool. From managing cryptographic signatures and modern NIP-44 encryption to building real-time feeds and identity verification, this skill offers the patterns and best practices required to create high-quality decentralized social media experiences.

Key Features
