# Sui Move Development

Comprehensive knowledge base for Sui blockchain and Move smart contract development.

**GitHub:** <https://github.com/EasonC13-agent/sui-skills/tree/main/sui-move>

## Setup References

Clone the official documentation:

```bash
# Create skill directory
mkdir -p {baseDir}/references && cd {baseDir}/references

# Clone Move Book (The Move Language Bible)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MystenLabs/move-book.git

# Clone Sui docs (sparse checkout)
git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git
cd sui && git sparse-checkout set docs

# Clone Awesome Move (curated examples and resources)
# Note: Some code examples may be outdated
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MystenLabs/awesome-move.git
```

## Additional Resources

### Awesome Move (`references/awesome-move/`)
A curated list of Move resources, including:
- Example projects and code snippets
- Libraries and frameworks
- Tools and utilities
- Learning resources

⚠️ **Note**: Some code examples in awesome-move may be outdated as the Move language and Sui platform evolve. Always verify against the latest Move Book and Sui documentation.

### Sui Docs (`references/sui/docs/content/`)
- Concepts, guides, standards, references

## Quick Search

```bash
# Search Move Book for a topic
rg -i "keyword" {baseDir}/references/move-book/book/ --type md

# Search Sui docs
rg -i "keyword" {baseDir}/references/sui/docs/ --type md

# Find all files about a topic
find {baseDir}/references -name "*.md" | xargs grep -l "topic"
```

## Key Concepts

### Move Language Basics

**Abilities** - Type capabilities:
- `copy` - Can be copied
- `drop` - Can be dropped (destroyed)
- `store` - Can be stored in objects
- `key` - Can be used as a key in global storage (objects)

```move
public struct MyStruct has key, store {
    id: UID,
    value: u64
}
```

**Object Model**:
- Every object has a unique `UID`
- Objects can be owned (address), shared, or immutable
- Transfer functions: `transfer::transfer`, `transfer::share_object`, `transfer::freeze_object`

### Common Patterns

**Create and Transfer Object**:
```move
public fun create(ctx: &mut TxContext) {
    let obj = MyObject {
        id: object::new(ctx),
        value: 0
    };
    transfer::transfer(obj, tx_context::sender(ctx));
}
```

**Shared Object**:
```move
public fun create_shared(ctx: &mut TxContext) {
    let obj = SharedObject {
        id: object::new(ctx),
        counter: 0
    };
    transfer::share_object(obj);
}
```

**Entry Functions**:
```move
public entry fun do_something(obj: &mut MyObject, value: u64) {
    obj.value = value;
}
```

## CLI Commands

```bash
# Create new project
sui move new my_project

# Build
sui move build

# Test
sui move test

# Publish
sui client publish --gas-budget 100000000

# Call function
sui client call --package <PACKAGE_ID> --module <MODULE> --function <FUNCTION> --args <ARGS>

# Get object
sui client object <OBJECT_ID>
```

## Workflow

When answering Sui/Move questions:

1. **Search references first**:
   ```bash
   rg -i "topic" {baseDir}/references/move-book/book/ -l
   ```

2. **Read relevant files**:
   ```bash
   cat {baseDir}/references/move-book/book/<path>/<file>.md
   ```

3. **Provide code examples** from the references

4. **Link to official docs** when helpful:
   - Move Book: https://move-book.com
   - Sui Docs: https://docs.sui.io
