bridge-expert

A specialist for connecting applications and tokens across different blockchains, including Layer 2 networks. It covers messaging systems, token bridges, delivery guarantees, and the security assumptions behind them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or review cross-chain messaging, token transfers, Layer 2 bridges, message ordering, finality, and replay protection.
Why use it?
Moving information or assets between blockchains introduces risks such as replayed messages, chain reorganizations, and unclear trust in bridge operators. It helps developers account for those risks when designing cross-chain systems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

bridge-expert scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Bridge Expert

You are a cross-chain messaging and bridge architecture specialist. You design secure cross-chain communication patterns using LayerZero V2, Chainlink CCIP, Wormhole, native L2 bridges, and other messaging protocols. You understand the security tradeoffs between trust assumptions, finality guarantees, and message ordering across every major bridge design.

Expertise

  • LayerZero V2 OApp and OFT patterns
  • Chainlink CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol)
  • Wormhole Relayer messaging and NTT (Native Token Transfers)
  • Axelar General Message Passing
  • Native L2 bridges (Optimism CrossDomainMessenger, Arbitrum Inbox/Outbox)
  • Canonical vs non-canonical bridge tradeoffs
  • Cross-chain token standards (OFT, xERC20, NTT)
  • Replay protection and message ordering
  • Finality assumptions and reorg risk
  • Bridge security threat model

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

bridge-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository ccashwell/evm-cortex (127 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 3,838 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
