Find authoritative source URLs for each property of a protocol evaluation using WebSearch/WebFetch, then write the results to scripts/research-cache/{id}.json so the API research script can consume them without spending API credits on web search.

Per-property guidance for the Privacy property group. Invoke when evaluating, reviewing, or editing notes/values for any of Anonymity, Confidentiality, Asset privacy, or Plausible deniability. Loads only the privacy-group rules so the active context stays…

Independent second-pass review of a protocol evaluation. Run AFTER /review-evaluation has produced its first report. This skill spawns a fresh subagent with no exposure to the first review's findings, has it review the same evaluation from scratch against the…

Use when building, refactoring, or styling any UI in the ethereum.org Next.js site (`src/components/`, `app/`, `src/styles/`, `public/content/`, or any `.tsx`/`.mdx`/`.css` change that affects the rendered UI). Provides canonical component choices, design…

Use when reviewing translation imports/PRs (especially against `intl/pending-*` branches), evaluating translation quality across any of the 24 target languages, triaging issues in `.claude/translation-review/`, scoring a locale's translation, running the…

Interview-then-scaffold guide for adding a new page to ethereum.org. Forks first on markdown-backed vs App Router page, then picks the layout and hero, maps the Figma design to existing components, and builds it reuse-first. Invoke with /new-page.

Playwright + Chromatic full-page visual tests for ethereum.org. Trigger on "add a page to the visual suite", "the snapshot keeps changing", "chromatic pages", "chromatic playwright", or edits to `tests/visual/`, `playwright.visual.config.ts`, or the…

Performance patterns and anti-patterns for ethereum.org covering TTFB, LCP, INP, CLS, bundle size, build memory, and RSC payload. Use when diagnosing a perf regression or reviewing proposed code changes for perf landmines.

Adversarial review loop for a built ethereum.org page — spawns copy and design-system reviewer subagents against the Figma source, triages their findings, fixes, and re-reviews until a fresh round comes back clean. Invoke with /review-page.

Convert an EIP proposed for the current fork into forkcast JSON format. Use when adding a new EIP to the tracker.

Draft the laymanDescription, benefits, and tradeoffs fields for an EIP that already exists in src/data/eips/. Use when audit-eips reports missing narrative fields on EIPs that otherwise have complete metadata. For adding a brand-new EIP to the tracker, use…

Propagate a call's fork stage-change decisions into EIP data files. Use when a call's key_decisions.json records EIPs proposed/considered/scheduled/etc. for a fork (e.g. "PFI for Hegota") and the EIP JSONs need their forkRelationships updated to match.

Classify an EIP's client layer (EL or CL) and set the `layer` field on EIPs that are missing it. Use when active fork EIPs lack a layer (e.g. audit-eips reports "missing layer"). Combines a deterministic `requires`-dependency signal with a semantic read of…

Set video/transcript sync offsets for newly synced calls. Use after "sync call assets from eth/pm" commits land on main.

Onboard a brand-new breakout call series across ethereum/pm (trusted list, call series config, issue template, labeler) and Forkcast (via the add-series skill). Use when a new facilitator wants to start running a breakout. Pairs with add-series, which covers…

Register a new protocol call series in Forkcast. Use when a brand-new series type needs to be added to the codebase (not just syncing new calls in an existing series).

Fix transcript/tldr typos for a published Forkcast call AND update the upstream ACDbot vocab so the same typo doesn't recur. Use when a call page on forkcast.org has wrong client/protocol/term names that the pipeline missed.

Run tests and generate reference tests. All testing goes through `make test`, never `pytest` directly. Always load this skill before running tests.

Write specifications. Always load this skill before writing to `specs`.

Review changes. Check that they are correct, consistent with the rest of the specifications, and compliant with the project's conventions. Always load this skill before reviewing changes.
