grafana-loki
Query logs from Grafana Loki for Lodestar beacon nodes, execution clients, and validators. Use when investigating node crashes, errors, sync issues, or any log-level debugging. Covers CL (beacon), EL (execution), validator, and infrastructure logs. Requires Grafana access to the Lodestar monitoring stack.
memory-profiling
Profile Node.js memory leaks with heap snapshots and retention-chain analysis. Use when debugging memory growth, object retention, listener leaks, timer leaks, stream leaks, or worker-thread memory issues (especially Lodestar network/discv5 threads).
consensus-clients
Use when comparing Ethereum consensus client implementations, looking up how a specific client implements a spec feature, checking client activity (PRs, issues, releases), or understanding architectural differences between Lodestar, Lighthouse, Prysm, Teku, Nimbus, and Grandine.
lodestar-review
Run multi-persona code reviews on Lodestar PRs. Use when reviewing a PR, diff, or code change in ChainSafe/lodestar. Spawns specialized reviewer agents (bug hunter, security engineer, architect, etc.) with Lodestar-specific context, collects findings, and synthesizes a consolidated report. Covers PR review, code quality assessment, and security analysis for Ethereum consensus client code.
ethereum-rnd
Use when working on Ethereum protocol development, consensus layer, execution layer, beacon chain, EIPs, networking, or any Ethereum R&D topic. Provides reference lookup across specs, APIs, research forums, and governance resources.
release-notes
Write Lodestar release notes and Discord announcements for new versions. Use when cutting a new release, drafting announcement text, or updating the GitHub release body. Covers header text, Discord announcement, and changelog formatting. Requires access to the Lodestar repo and GitHub CLI for changelog generation.
dev-workflow
Multi-agent development workflow for complex Lodestar features. Use for any task requiring architecture planning, implementation, and review. Covers spec design with gpt-advisor, implementation via Codex CLI or Claude CLI, review with sub-agents, and PR creation.
kurtosis-devnet
Run Ethereum multi-client devnets using Kurtosis and the ethpandaops/ethereum-package. Use for spinning up local testnets, validating cross-client interop, testing fork transitions, running assertoor checks, debugging CL/EL client interactions, or verifying new feature implementations across multiple consensus and execution clients.
release-metrics
Evaluate Lodestar release candidate readiness by comparing beta/RC metrics against stable. Use when deploying a new RC to beta nodes, reviewing metrics before cutting a release, or assessing whether a release candidate has regressions. Covers health checks, performance comparison, memory/resource analysis, validator effectiveness, networking quality, and PeerDAS-specific metrics. Requires Grafana/Prometheus access to the Lodestar monitoring stack.
beacon-node
Query and analyze Ethereum beacon nodes via the Beacon API. Health checks, chain analysis, validator info, peer diagnostics, and fork monitoring.
