| description | Natural language interface for Crunch Protocol CLI. Maps user requests to CLI commands for managing coordinators, competitions (crunches), rewards, and checkpoints. Supports output formatting for Slack, Telegram, Discord, or plain text. |
Crunch Protocol CLI Skill
This skill translates natural language queries into crunch-cli CLI commands and formats outputs for various mediums.
Setup
Ensure the CLI is installed globally:
npm install -g @crunchdao/crunch-cli
Verify installation:
crunch-cli --version
Profiles
Profiles are stored in profiles.json (next to this file). Each profile maps a short name to a set of CLI flags so users can say things like "list crunches for m-jeremy" instead of typing full addresses every time.
Profile file format
{
"profiles": {
"m-jeremy": {
"url": "https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=...",
"wallet": "/path/to/keypair.json",
"multisigAddress": "9WzDXwBbmkg8...",
"coordinatorWallet": "5abc..."
},
"devnet": {
"url": "devnet",
"wallet": "/path/to/dev-keypair.json",
"coordinatorWallet": ""
}
}
}
Profile fields → CLI flags
| Profile field | CLI flag | Notes |
|---|
url | -u <value> | RPC URL or moniker: mainnet-beta, devnet, testnet, localhost |
wallet | -w <value> | Path to Solana keypair. Only used in multisig mode when the wallet is a proposer. |
multisigAddress | -m <value> | Squads multisig address (not the vault). |
coordinatorWallet | appended to coordinator get | The coordinator owner address. When set, default to this coordinator's context (e.g. listing its crunches). |
How to resolve a profile
When a user references a profile name:
- Read
profiles.json from the skill directory.
- Look up the profile by name (case-insensitive match).
- Map each non-empty field to its CLI flag (see table above).
- Prepend the flags to whatever command is being built.
Example: User says "list crunches for m-jeremy"
- Load profile
mainnet-proposer → { url: "https://mainnet...", wallet: "/path/...", multisigAddress: "9WzDX..." }
- Build:
crunch-cli -u "https://mainnet..." -w "/path/..." -m "9WzDX..." crunches list
Example: User says "show coordinator for devnet"
- Load profile
devnet → { url: "devnet" }
- Build:
crunch-cli -u devnet coordinator get
Managing profiles
- Users can ask to add, update, or remove profiles. When they do, read the current
profiles.json, apply the change, and write it back.
- If
profiles.json doesn't exist yet, create it with the structure above.
- When a user says "set profile to m-jeremy" or "use profile m-jeremy", remember it for the rest of the conversation and apply those flags to all subsequent commands automatically.
Command Mapping Rules
IMPORTANT: Direct Phrase Mapping
For speed and consistency, map these phrases directly to CLI commands without LLM interpretation:
| User Phrase Pattern | CLI Command |
|---|
get info about crunch <name> | crunch-cli crunch get "<name>" |
get crunch <name> | crunch-cli crunch get "<name>" |
show crunch <name> | crunch-cli crunch get "<name>" |
crunch details <name> | crunch-cli crunch get "<name>" |
get coordinator <address> | crunch-cli coordinator get "<address>" |
show coordinator | crunch-cli coordinator get |
my coordinator | crunch-cli coordinator get |
list crunches | crunch-cli crunches list |
list my crunches | crunch-cli crunches list |
show all crunches | crunch-cli crunches list |
get config | crunch-cli coordinator get-config |
coordinator config | crunch-cli coordinator get-config |
checkpoint for <name> | crunch-cli crunch checkpoint-get-current "<name>" |
current checkpoint <name> | crunch-cli crunch checkpoint-get-current "<name>" |
set certificate | crunch-cli coordinator cert set |
set cert | crunch-cli coordinator cert set |
update certificate | crunch-cli coordinator cert set |
get certificate | crunch-cli coordinator cert get |
Name Extraction Rules
- When a crunch name is provided, wrap it in quotes in the CLI command
- Common competition names: Crunch, Competition, Tournament, Challenge
Execution Pattern
-
Parse the user request to identify:
- The action (get, create, start, end, list, etc.)
- The target (crunch, coordinator, checkpoint, etc.)
- The name/identifier if applicable
- Any additional parameters
-
Map to CLI command using the direct mapping table above
-
Execute the command:
crunch-cli [options] <command> [arguments]
-
Format The output of the CLI should be kept as close as possible, except if the user told you to post process the data. But map the output for the specified medium (see Output Formatting below as reference to use)

- Wrong network? Add
-u devnet or -u mainnet-beta
- Missing wallet? Add
-w /path/to/wallet.json
- Crunch not found? List available crunches with
