What this skill does


# Eclair (ACINQ)

Eclair is ACINQ's Lightning implementation. Scala-based, runs on JVM,
designed primarily as a **routing/payment infrastructure** node rather
than personal wallet.

## Components

- `eclair-node` — main daemon.
- `eclair-cli` — CLI tool wrapping HTTP API.
- HTTP/JSON-RPC API (no gRPC by default).
- Phoenix (mobile wallet) talks to ACINQ's Eclair backend via custom
  protocol.

## Configuration

`eclair.conf`:
```hocon
eclair {
  chain = "mainnet"
  bitcoind {
    host = "127.0.0.1"
    rpcport = 8332
    rpcuser = "..."
    rpcpassword = "..."
    zmqblock = "tcp://127.0.0.1:28332"
    zmqtx = "tcp://127.0.0.1:28333"
  }
  api {
    enabled = true
    port = 8080
    binding-ip = "127.0.0.1"
    password = "..."
  }
  node-alias = "eclair-node"
  channel {
    fund-min = 100000 sat
    fund-max = 500000000 sat
  }
  on-chain-fees {
    feerate-tolerance.ratio-low = 0.5
    feerate-tolerance.ratio-high = 10.0
  }
}
```

HOCON syntax (superset of JSON).

## API

HTTP basic auth with single password (set in conf). Calls:
```bash
curl -u :password -X POST http://localhost:8080/getinfo
curl -u :password -d "uri=03abc...@host:9735" \
  http://localhost:8080/connect
curl -u :password -d "nodeId=03abc..." -d "fundingSatoshis=1000000" \
  http://localhost:8080/open
curl -u :password -d "invoice=lnbc..." \
  http://localhost:8080/payinvoice
```

## Plugin architecture

Eclair plugins are JVM JAR files dropped into the `plugins/` directory.
Implement `Plugin` interface in Scala/Java. Hooks into:
- Channel events.
- Payment events.
- Routing decisions.

## Watchtower

Eclair has built-in watchtower for outbound channels:
```hocon
eclair.watchtowers {
  client.enabled = true
}
```

Sends encrypted breach blobs to configured tower nodes.

## Implementation strengths

- **Liquidity advertisement**: Eclair pioneered "liquidity ads" for
  selling channel inbound to peers.
- **PathFinding**: variant of Dijkstra with sophisticated probability
  tracking.
- **Backend / server-grade**: designed for high-throughput routing
  nodes.
- **Phoenix backend**: ACINQ's hosted infrastructure for Phoenix users.

## Phoenix integration

Phoenix mobile wallet uses a hybrid model:
- Mobile holds keys (self-custodial).
- ACINQ-hosted Eclair server is "trusted intermediary" for
  channel-on-pay and routing.
- "Splice-on-demand" — Phoenix can request capacity changes.

## Memory / resource

JVM-based: ~500 MB - 1 GB RAM typical. Heavier than LND/CLN/LDK but
not unreasonable for a backend.

## Common issues

- JVM tuning: heap too small → OOM under load.
- HTTP API password leak via process listing — use env var or file
  reference instead.
- Backup: SQLite database in `~/.eclair/eclair.sqlite.db`. Standard
  warnings about not restoring old DB.
- Plugin compatibility breaks across Eclair versions; verify before
  upgrading.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

Backend & APIsscripts

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
