SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents AI-generated Move code from using legacy, pre-2024 patterns that fail to compile on Sui or reduce code quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Method-call syntax enforcement for coins, balances, object/UID operations, and common patterns where module-style calls are outdated.
  • Sui Move 2024 edition idioms for tx context access, string literals, vector creation and method usage, option handling, and loop macros.
  • Modern destructuring and API naming using .. for unused struct fields and updated standard-library function names.

Quick Start

Use the modern-move-syntax skill whenever you need the agent to rewrite or generate Move code so it uses 2024 edition syntax and avoids legacy function-call patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions about modern-move-syntax

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update Move code to use 2024 edition syntax on Sui?▼

You update Move code to 2024 edition syntax by enforcing chained method calls, macro-based patterns for vectors and options, and modern struct destructuring using `..` to prevent pre-2024 legacy patterns from breaking Sui builds.

Why does my Sui Move build fail with legacy function-call patterns?▼

Sui Move builds fail because the 2024 edition deprecates module-style calls for coins, balances, and object operations, requiring updated standard-library APIs and chained method syntax to maintain code quality.

What is the 2024 edition method syntax for Move vector and option handling?▼

The 2024 edition method syntax for Move vector and option handling replaces legacy module-style calls with macro-based patterns and chained method calls to ensure correct field visibility and tx context usage.

Can I use `..` for unused struct fields when refactoring Move code?▼

Yes, you can use `..` for unused struct fields when refactoring Move code, as the 2024 edition enforces modern destructuring conventions and correct field visibility to prevent outdated API naming.

Does AI-generated Move code need syntax enforcement for Sui?▼

AI-generated Move code needs syntax enforcement for Sui because models often output pre-2024 patterns that fail to compile or lower code quality without consistent replacement rules matching 2024 idioms.

What are the limitations of using legacy module-style calls in Sui Move?▼

Limitations of using legacy module-style calls in Sui Move include failing builds and lowered code quality, as the 2024 edition requires consistent replacement rules for tx context access, string literals, and standard-library APIs.
