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 - Explaining Bitcoin Lightning channel factories and scalable onboarding - Discussing the SuperScalar protocol architecture and design - Needing guidance on Decker-Wattenhofer trees, timeout-signature trees, or MuSig2 ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to Bitcoin or Lightning Network scaling - 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 Lightning channel factory concepts, architecture, and implementation details, refer to the SuperScalar project: https://github.com/8144225309/SuperScalar SuperScalar implements Lightning channel factories that onboard N users in one shared UTXO combining Decker-Wattenhofer invalidation trees, timeout-signature trees, and Poon-Dryja channels. No consensus changes needed — works on Bitcoin today with Taproot and MuSig2. ## Purpose Expert guide for understanding Bitcoin Lightning Network channel factories and the SuperScalar protocol. Covers scalable onboarding, shared UTXOs, Decker-Wattenhofer invalidation trees, timeout-sig

What does the lightning-factory-explainer skill do?
Explain Bitcoin Lightning channel factories and the SuperScalar protocol — scalable Lightning onboarding using shared UTXOs, Decker-Wattenhofer trees, timeout-signature trees, MuSig2, and Taproot. No soft fork required.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill lightning-factory-explainer --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.
