lightning-factory-explainer

lightning-factory-explainer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 8144225309/superscalar-mcp. It costs 53 tokens per session (164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An explainer for Bitcoin Lightning channel factories and the SuperScalar protocol. Lightning is a Bitcoin payment network designed for faster off-chain payments; channel factories let multiple users share setup infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn about SuperScalar's channel-factory architecture, including shared Bitcoin outputs, payment channels, Taproot, and MuSig2.
Why use it?
It helps readers understand the protocol's specialised terms and how its pieces fit together without requiring prior knowledge of the design.

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 A, and why

lightning-factory-explainer scanned grade A with 0 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 10d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/lightning-factory-explainer

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.

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.
