lightning-greenlight
Greenlight by Blockstream: hosted CLN with self-custodial signing. Server runs the full CLN node; user retains private keys via signer protocol. Mobile-friendly without running a full LN node. USE WHEN: building mobile/web LN apps with self-custody but no on-device daemon, integrating with Blockstream's hosted infra.
What this skill does
# Greenlight (Blockstream)
Greenlight is a "hosted self-custodial Lightning" service. Blockstream
runs CLN nodes on its infrastructure. Users hold private keys on
their device and sign via the **signer protocol**.
Service: <https://blockstream.com/lightning/greenlight/>
## Architecture
```
[User device] [Blockstream cloud]
signer protocol ──────► CLN node
◄────── chain access, peer connections
```
- User device: holds master seed, runs `gl-client` library.
- Cloud: runs CLN with no key access; pings device for sigs.
- Network: TLS-mutual-auth between device and cloud.
When CLN needs to sign anything (commitment, HTLC), it sends a signing
request via the signer protocol. The device-side signer validates
the request, signs, and returns the signature.
## Why hosted
Mobile users can't run a 24/7 LN node — channels drop, force-closes
happen. Greenlight runs the node 24/7 while keys stay on device.
Compare:
- **Self-custodial mobile (LDK Node, Phoenix)**: keys + node on device,
but channels drop when offline.
- **Custodial (Wallet of Satoshi)**: keys held by service; tradeoff
is custody risk.
- **Greenlight**: keys on device, node hosted; node available 24/7.
## Signer protocol
Subset of CLN's hardware-signer protocol. Operations:
- Sign commitment tx.
- Sign HTLC tx.
- Provide ECDH for onion / gossip.
- Sign mutual close / cooperative close.
Each request includes:
- Channel state context.
- Counterparty pubkey.
- Operation type.
Device verifies state hasn't been "rolled back" (replay attacks) and
that the operation aligns with channel policy.
## gl-client library
Available in:
- **Rust** — primary `gl-client` crate.
- **Python** — `pygreenlight`.
- **Swift / Kotlin** — for mobile apps.
- **JS / WASM** — for browser apps.
```rust
let scheduler = Scheduler::new(node_id, network).await?;
let signer = Signer::new(seed, network, tls)?;
let node = scheduler.schedule(signer.tls()).await?;
// Use node like CLN
node.list_funds().await?;
node.create_invoice("desc", amount_msat).await?;
```
## Trust model
Greenlight trusts:
- **The hosted node** to be online (availability).
- **The hosted node** to relay your messages honestly.
- The hosted node CANNOT steal funds (it doesn't have keys).
- The hosted node CAN refuse to forward (DoS), trigger force-close, etc.
Mitigations:
- Force-close from device side anytime.
- Multi-sig or future variants where multiple cloud nodes vote.
## Comparison with other models
| Aspect | LDK Node (mobile) | Greenlight | Custodial |
|--------|-------------------|------------|-----------|
| Keys | device | device | service |
| Node uptime | mobile-bound | 24/7 cloud | 24/7 cloud |
| Channel security | device must be online | always online | service can rugpull |
| Privacy | local | service sees all traffic | service sees all |
## Setup
Mobile/desktop integration via Blockstream's onboarding:
1. Install gl-client SDK.
2. Generate seed locally.
3. Register node with Greenlight cloud.
4. Pin TLS certificate.
5. Run signer in background; node accessible via cloud.
Pricing: per-channel small fee (typically ~few sats per channel
operation); subject to Blockstream's evolving terms.

jfrog
IncludedInteract with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.
cupynumeric-migration-readiness
IncludedPre-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
IncludedInvoke 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".
token-optimizer
IncludedReduce 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.
resend-cli
