+//! Script pubkey types and operations.
+//!
+//! This module provides types for working with script pubkeys (also known as
+//! "locking scripts"), which define the conditions that must be met to spend a
+//! [`TxOut`].
+//!
+//! # Types
+//!
+//! The module provides two types:
+//!
+//! - [`ScriptPubkey`]: An owned script pubkey that manages its own memory
+//! - [`ScriptPubkeyRef`]: A borrowed reference to a script pubkey with a specific lifetime
+//!
+//! Both types implement the [`ScriptPubkeyExt`] trait, providing a unified interface
+//! for all script pubkey operations regardless of ownership.
+//!
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ## Creating and working with script pubkeys
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! # use bitcoinkernel::{prelude::*, ScriptPubkey};
+//! // Create a simple script from raw bytes
+//! let script = ScriptPubkey::new(&[0x76, 0xa9, 0x14]).unwrap();
+//!
+//! // Serialize back to bytes
+//! let bytes = script.to_bytes();
+//! assert_eq!(bytes, vec![0x76, 0xa9, 0x14]);
+//!
+//! // Use TryFrom for conversion
+//! let script2 = ScriptPubkey::try_from(bytes.as_slice()).unwrap();
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Creating standard script types
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! # use bitcoinkernel::ScriptPubkey;
+//! // P2PKH: OP_DUP OP_HASH160 <pubKeyHash> OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG
+//! let p2pkh_hex = "76a914deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef88ac";
+//! let p2pkh = ScriptPubkey::new(&hex::decode(p2pkh_hex).unwrap()).unwrap();
+//!
+//! // P2SH: OP_HASH160 <scriptHash> OP_EQUAL
+//! let p2sh_hex = "a914deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef87";
+//! let p2sh = ScriptPubkey::new(&hex::decode(p2sh_hex).unwrap()).unwrap();
+//!
+//! // P2WPKH: OP_0 <20-byte-pubkey-hash>
+//! let p2wpkh_hex = "0014deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef";
+//! let p2wpkh = ScriptPubkey::new(&hex::decode(p2wpkh_hex).unwrap()).unwrap();
+//! ```
