This skill provides comprehensive guidance on the Nostr protocol for developers building clients and relays, covering event structures, cryptographic operations, and relay interactions to enable secure, interoperable decentralized applications.
Ask for a concise Nostr protocol primer or a hands-on example to implement a basic note listener and relay interaction.

To build a Nostr client, you establish a WebSocket connection to a relay and send REQ messages with filters to subscribe to events, receiving EVENT messages back. The protocol uses specific messaging patterns like EVENT, REQ, OK, and EOSE for real-time data exchange.
The Nostr protocol event lifecycle includes regular, replaceable, ephemeral, and parameterized replaceable events. Each event type has specific rules for creation, signing, and relay propagation, dictating how long events persist and how updates are handled across the network.
Schnorr signature verification for Nostr events involves validating the event signature against the event ID using the secp256k1 curve. The event ID is calculated by hashing the serialized event data, ensuring cryptographic integrity and authenticating the publisher.
NIPs (Nostr Implementation Possibilities) define protocol features like relay discovery and metadata handling. For relay management, implementing NIP-11 for relay information and NIP-65 for relay lists is essential for reliable multi-relay deployments and client interoperability.
The best way to manage Nostr keys is following safe key management practices to protect the private key used for Schnorr signing. Secure storage and handling prevent unauthorized event creation and signature forgery, maintaining application security.
You construct Nostr filter queries by defining criteria such as event IDs, authors, kinds, and timestamps within a REQ message sent over WebSocket. This allows clients to efficiently query and subscribe to specific real-time data streams from relays.
