Setting up a Bitcoin Lightning node on Ubuntu using litd (Lightning Terminal). Default path: Neutrino-backed single node (fast, no bitcoind needed). Also covers bitcoind-backed routing nodes and the remote signer architecture for production.

Reference for litd (Lightning Terminal) gRPC API in Go: managing accounts, baking macaroons, listing payments, and creating LNC sessions.

Working guide for LND + Taproot Assets gRPC in Go — authentication, asset amounts, channel data, pagination, and common gotchas discovered building a real wallet.

Navigation guide for the lnd (Lightning Network Daemon) Go codebase — where to find things, key patterns, and how subsystems connect.

Guide for building a Lightning Node Connect (LNC) web application using lnc-web

Build and configure the MCP server for Lightning Node Connect (LNC). Connects AI assistants to lnd nodes via encrypted WebSocket tunnels using pairing phrases — no direct network access or TLS certs needed. Read-only by default (18 tools for querying node…

Set up an lnd remote signer container that holds private keys separately from the agent. Exports a credentials bundle (accounts JSON, TLS cert, admin macaroon) for watch-only litd nodes. Container-first with Docker, native fallback. Use when firewalling…

Install and run Lightning Terminal (litd) which bundles lnd, loop, pool, tapd, and faraday in a single Docker container. Defaults to neutrino backend with SQLite storage on testnet. Supports watch-only mode with remote signer, standalone mode, and regtest…

Use when wavelength publishes a new release or revision and this repo must be updated to pair with it, when generated.ts / wallet.json / RUNTIME_MANIFEST_VERSION are stale, when gen:types or gen:api-docs fails or drifts, or when daemon-side RPC, facade type,…

Embed a self-custodial Lightning wallet in a web app with the Wavelength SDK (@lightninglabs/wavelength-web, @lightninglabs/wavelength-react, @lightninglabs/wavelength-core). Use when integrating Wavelength into a browser or React app, creating a wallet…

Embed a self-custodial Lightning wallet in a React Native or Expo app with the Wavelength SDK (@lightninglabs/wavelength-react-native, @lightninglabs/wavelength-react). Use when integrating Wavelength into a React Native or Expo app, creating a native wallet…

Automate the Wavelength wallet daemon with the wavecli command line tool. Use when scripting wallet operations, writing shell automation against waved, parsing wavecli JSON output, or handling its exit codes. Triggers include "wavecli", "wavelength cli",…

Integrate against the Wavelength wallet daemon (waved) over its gRPC or REST API. Use when calling WalletService RPCs, building a backend or non-browser integration, connecting to waved, or mapping REST routes under /v1/wallet/. Triggers include "waved",…

File a structured GitHub issue with daemon logs, config, and environment state. Use when a test session hits an error or unexpected behavior — auto-detects the active network (mainnet/testnet/signet/regtest/simnet) and chain backend (lwwallet+Esplora /…

Maintain the per-package documentation graph (CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md) and knowledge base (docs/, ARCHITECTURE.md) after code changes. Use when a new package was created, types/interfaces/dependencies changed significantly, after a large refactor, or when make…

Review goroutines, timers, callbacks, actor handoffs, and async cleanup for context lifetime bugs. Use when code starts work that may outlive the caller, especially from RPC handlers, wallet startup, daemon startup, actors, or notification registrations.
