+# ckb-std Developer Guide
+This document provides a guide for developers and AI agents on how to use ckb-std.
+
+## Compilation
+All projects with ckb-std should target RISC-V (rv64imcb) and require no_std.
+
+The recommended compilation options for Rust are as follows:
+```
+-C target-feature=+zba,+zbb,+zbc,+zbs -C passes=lower-atomic --target=riscv64imac-unknown-none-elf --release -C debug-assertions
+```
+
+This is already specified by the scaffold [ckb-script-templates](https://github.com/nervosnetwork/ckb-script-templates).
+
+## Features
+
+* calc-hash, supports the blake2b hash function
+* allocator, a basic memory allocator
+* native-simulator, the native simulator of ckb-std that lets on-chain scripts run on native machines
+* dlopen-c, dynamic library support on ckb-vm
+* build-with-clang, uses clang as the compiler when C is used
+* libc, for compiling with C. Normally works with `dlopen-c`.
+* dummy-atomic, a stub for atomic operations
+* log, supports logging
+* type-id, Type ID support
+
+Some notes:
+* `dlopen-c` is to support dynamic libraries on ckb-vm. However, it is not needed nowadays, since this can be done with the `exec` or `spawn` syscalls. Thus, no C compiler is needed, and the `libc` and `build-with-clang` features can be disabled.
+* `dummy-atomic` works with the Rust `-C target-feature-a` option. Since we now have `-C passes=lower-atomic`, it is also not needed.
+
+The recommended feature combination is `allocator`, `calc-hash`, and `ckb-types`. Add more as required.
+
+## Syscalls
+Detailed information about syscalls:
+* https://github.com/nervosnetwork/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0009-vm-syscalls/0009-vm-syscalls.md
+* https://github.com/nervosnetwork/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0034-vm-syscalls-2/0034-vm-syscalls-2.md
+* https://github.com/nervosnetwork/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0050-vm-syscalls-3/0050-vm-syscalls-3.md
+
+When using syscalls, first use the `high_level` module. If it doesn't meet your requirements, use the syscalls module instead. When using syscalls, use the predefined types in ckb-types, such as Script, WitnessArgs, Transaction, CellInput, CellOutput, etc, instead of parsing molecule from scratch.
+
+IMPORTANT: Overview of transaction structure: https://github.com/nervosnetwork/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0022-transaction-structure/0022-transaction-structure.md
+
+When the `stub-syscalls` feature is enabled, these syscalls can be mocked, which is useful for unit tests and fuzzing tests.
+
+## Log
+Logging is supported by enabling the `log` feature. Call `logger::init` in the entry first, and then call the logger functions.
+
+It is the most useful debugging method for AI agents. Enable `log` by default, and add log statements as required.
+When troubleshooting, add logs to suspicious locations first and then verify.
+Some libraries might need the environment variable `RUST_LOG=info` to enable outputs. When using `log`, the first step is to make sure the log can be output properly.
+
+## Others
+Like a traditional C program, on-chain scripts accept argc/argv via the `env` module.
+
+Use the `asserts` module if the failure is unrecoverable.
