Drops the SKILL.md into .claude/skills/lightning-channel-factories.md. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any agent that loads SKILL.md files from .claude/skills/.

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 requiring soft forks. Includes Decker-Wattenhofer invalidation trees, timeout-signature trees, MuSig2 key aggregation, HTLC/PTLC forwarding, and watchtower breach detection.

Key Topics

  • Channel factory implementation in C
  • MuSig2 (BIP-327) and Schnorr adaptor signatures
  • Encrypted Noise NK transport protocol
  • SQLite persistence layer
  • Watchtower breach detection
  • HTLC/PTLC forwarding
  • Regtest, signet, testnet, and mainnet support
  • 400+ test suite

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
