Skill based on rust-bitcoin (rust-bitcoin/rust-bitcoin), generated from sources/bitcoin-rust. Doc path: sources/bitcoin-rust/docs/, README, and crate lib.rs.
Rust Bitcoin supports the Bitcoin network protocol and primitives: de/serialization of blocks and transactions, script parsing and building, private/public keys and addresses (including BIP-32), and PSBT v0. Use for wallets, indexers, and tooling—not for consensus validation. All content is in English.
