Uniswap Labs published an update saying it released seven new “skills” intended to give AI agents structured access to core Uniswap protocol operations.  The skills ship as part of a public repository, positioned as developer tooling for “skills, plugins, and agents” to integrate the Uniswap ecosystem into coding-agent workflows.

What The Seven Skills Actually Do

The skills are exposed as slash-command style capabilities that can be invoked directly or triggered contextually, and they are grouped by plugin area. The documentation page lists each skill’s purpose and invocation name, which effectively defines the scope of what an agent can be guided to do.

Below is the full set as described in the docs

Plugin Area
Skill
Invocation
What It Covers

Uniswap Hooks
V4 Security Foundations
/v4-security-foundations
Hook threat models, permission flags, audit checklists

Uniswap CCA
Configurator
/configurator
Configure Continuous Clearing Auction parameters

Uniswap CCA
Deployer
/deployer
Deploy CCA contracts using a factory pattern

Uniswap Trading
Swap Integration
/swap-integration
Integrate swaps via Trading API, Universal Router, or contracts

Uniswap Viem
viem Integration
/viem-integration
EVM integration via viem and wagmi for reads and writes

Uniswap Driver
Swap Planner
/swap-planner
Plan swaps and generate deep links to execute in the interface

Uniswap Driver
Liquidity Planner
/liquidity-planner
Plan LP positions and generate deep links for execution

Two design choices stand out from a market-structure perspective.

One is that the skills are not marketed as “autonomous trading bots.” They are framed as structured building blocks that help agents and developers integrate known protocol paths – swaps, liquidity workflows, and deployments – more consistently.

The second is that the set spans both protocol-adjacent developer tasks (v4 hook security foundations, contract deployment) and user-execution workflows (swap and liquidity planning). That combination is what turns “agent tooling” from a niche developer helper into a potential distribution channel.

Why It Matters

Uniswap already wins when integrators pick its routing and liquidity. The easier it becomes to integrate swaps, build LP experiences, or deploy auction mechanics, the more likely new apps, wallets, and bots default to Uniswap paths rather than re-implementing primitives from scratch.

The skills approach also standardizes how an agent is instructed to perform actions. Instead of free-form prompts that can yield inconsistent integration patterns, a skill provides a bounded workflow with explicit steps and references. Over time, that can reduce integration errors and make “agentic execution” feel less experimental.

It also arrives as Uniswap continues positioning itself as a developer platform, especially in the v4 era where hooks push more customization into composable building blocks.

The Security Trade-Off

Packaging reusable “skills” creates a new supply-chain style risk surface.

Even if a skill is only a markdown guide and not executable code, it can still become an instruction carrier that causes an agent to run dangerous commands, fetch untrusted dependencies, or mishandle secrets. A recent security write-up on agent skill ecosystems describes how malicious skills can evolve into “shell access” outcomes when agents have access to files, tokens, and terminals.

That risk is not theoretical in Web3, because wallets, API keys, and signing flows are exactly the kind of credentials agents are asked to handle. The value is obvious: faster automation and repeatable workflows. The downside is that teams now need to treat agent toolchains like traditional dependencies, with explicit allowlists, sandboxing, and strong boundaries around signing and secret access.

What Builders and Traders Will Watch Next

If wallets, agents, and SDK-driven apps start incorporating these skills as a default integration path, the story shifts from “Uniswap shipped agent tooling” to “Uniswap became an agent execution layer.” That shift tends to show up first in developer community usage patterns and in the distribution of swap routing across new apps.

Separately, the permission model around execution will shape whether this becomes a mainstream workflow. Planning and deep-link generation is lower risk. Anything that moves toward unattended swaps, unattended deployments, or unattended liquidity changes pushes security requirements up sharply, especially when agents operate across multiple environments.
