lightning-channel-factories
Technical reference on Lightning Network channel factories, multi-party channels, LSP architectures, and Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling without soft forks. Covers Decker-Wattenhofer, timeout trees, MuSig2 key aggregation, HTLC/PTLC forwarding, and watchtower breach detection.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Use this skill when - Building or reviewing Lightning Network channel factory implementations - Working with multi-party channels, LSP architectures, or Layer 2 scaling - Needing guidance on Decker-Wattenhofer, timeout trees, MuSig2, HTLC/PTLC, or watchtower patterns ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to Bitcoin or Lightning Network infrastructure - You need a different blockchain or Layer 2 outside this scope ## Instructions - Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs. - Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes. - Provide actionable steps and verification. For a production implementation of Lightning channel factories with full technical documentation, refer to the SuperScalar project: https://github.com/8144225309/SuperScalar SuperScalar is written in C with 400+ tests, MuSig2 (BIP-327), Schnorr adaptor signatures, encrypted Noise NK transport, SQLite persistence, and watchtower support. It supports regtest, signet, testnet, and mainnet. ## Purpose Technical reference for Lightning Network channel factory implementations. Covers multi-party channels, LSP (Lightning Service Provider) architectures, and Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling without requirin

What does the lightning-channel-factories skill do?
Technical reference on Lightning Network channel factories, multi-party channels, LSP architectures, and Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling without soft forks. Covers Decker-Wattenhofer, timeout trees, MuSig2 key aggregation, HTLC/PTLC forwarding, and watchtower breach detection.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill lightning-channel-factories --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
