Track and summarize discussions from ethereum/eth-rnd-archive across selected Discord channels, with hourly monitoring and daily digest outputs. Use for protocol/R&D intelligence, spotting spec changes, and surfacing Lodestar-relevant action items from Eth R&D chatter.

Debug hosted/remote Ethereum devnets (ethpandaops networks like glamsterdam-devnet-N) with a Lodestar lens. Builds on the panda `query` + `investigate` skills and the 'debug devnet' runbook for the data/procedure; adds the cross-client 'read the failing client's own logs' method and a ChainSafe infra POV (SSH to Lodestar nodes, ChainSafe Grafana Loki). Hosted devnets, not local Kurtosis.

Run multi-persona code reviews on Lodestar PRs. Use when reviewing a PR, diff, or code change in ChainSafe/lodestar. Spawns specialized reviewer agents (bug hunter, security engineer, architect, etc.) with Lodestar-specific context, collects findings, and synthesizes a consolidated report. Covers PR review, code quality assessment, and security analysis for Ethereum consensus client code.

Multi-agent development workflow for complex Lodestar features. Use for any task requiring architecture planning, implementation, and review. Covers spec design with gpt-advisor, implementation via Codex CLI or Claude CLI, review with sub-agents, and PR creation.

Debug Lodestar beacon node issues by running a local mainnet node with checkpoint sync and engineMock. Use for investigating networking bugs, peer discovery issues, identify failures, metrics anomalies, or any behavior that needs real-world peer interactions without a full execution client.

Query ChatGPT GPT-5.4 Pro from this headless server using Camoufox (Firefox stealth browser). Use when Oracle browser mode is needed under Cloudflare Turnstile constraints and Chrome/Chromium headless paths fail.

Query and analyze Ethereum beacon nodes via the Beacon API. Health checks, chain analysis, validator info, peer diagnostics, and fork monitoring.

Use when comparing Ethereum consensus client implementations, looking up how a specific client implements a spec feature, checking client activity (PRs, issues, releases), or understanding architectural differences between Lodestar, Lighthouse, Prysm, Teku, Nimbus, and Grandine.

Multi-agent deep research pipeline for complex questions (EIP analysis, architecture decisions, cross-client comparisons, protocol design). Use when single-shot answers are insufficient and you need decomposition, parallel investigation, adversarial critique, and a formal output document.

Use when working on Ethereum protocol development, consensus layer, execution layer, beacon chain, EIPs, networking, or any Ethereum R&D topic. Provides reference lookup across specs, APIs, research forums, and governance resources.

Join an existing Ethereum devnet (ethpandaops or custom) with a local Lodestar beacon node using engineMock. Use for syncing, debugging, testing serving/sync changes, or monitoring devnet activity without running an execution client.

Capture and analyze Lodestar heap snapshots (main/network/discv5 workers) via the lodestar REST write_heapdump endpoint. Use for memory leak investigations on running beacon nodes.

Profile Node.js memory leaks with heap snapshots and retention-chain analysis. Use when debugging memory growth, object retention, listener leaks, timer leaks, stream leaks, or worker-thread memory issues (especially Lodestar network/discv5 threads).

Evaluate Lodestar release candidate readiness by comparing beta/RC metrics against stable. Use when deploying a new RC to beta nodes, reviewing metrics before cutting a release, or assessing whether a release candidate has regressions. Covers health checks, performance comparison, memory/resource analysis, validator effectiveness, networking quality, and PeerDAS-specific metrics. Requires Grafana/Prometheus access to the Lodestar monitoring stack.

Universal web scraping for AI agents using free/open-source tools. Use when `web_fetch` is blocked or incomplete, including JS-rendered SPAs, Cloudflare-protected pages, structured data extraction, and login-gated pages. Tiered escalation: curl_cffi → DynamicFetcher → Camoufox → authenticated sessions.

Multi-source web search orchestrator. Use when `web_search`/`web_fetch` are insufficient and you need query classification, parallel provider search, ranking, deduplication, and optional synthesis across web/code/academic/social sources.

Parse, index, and analyze Ethereum client logs (Lodestar, Lighthouse, Geth) without reading raw log files. Produces compact overview packs for triage, drill packs for deep-dives, and cross-service comparison packs. Best for first-pass breadth triage on unfamiliar logs and multi-client correlation. For targeted "find error X" debugging, use grep directly.

Query logs from Grafana Loki for Lodestar beacon nodes, execution clients, and validators. Use when investigating node crashes, errors, sync issues, or any log-level debugging. Covers CL (beacon), EL (execution), validator, and infrastructure logs. Requires Grafana access to the Lodestar monitoring stack.

Run Ethereum multi-client devnets using Kurtosis and the ethpandaops/ethereum-package. Use for spinning up local testnets, validating cross-client interop, testing fork transitions, running assertoor checks, debugging CL/EL client interactions, or verifying new feature implementations across multiple consensus and execution clients.

Write Lodestar release notes and Discord announcements for new versions. Use when cutting a new release, drafting announcement text, or updating the GitHub release body. Covers header text, Discord announcement, and changelog formatting. Requires access to the Lodestar repo and GitHub CLI for changelog generation.
