run-litd

run-litd is a skill for Claude Code from lightninglabs/lightning-agent-tools. It costs 53 tokens per session (4,730 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A setup guide for running a Bitcoin Lightning node on Ubuntu with litd, a software package that provides Lightning services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up a fast Neutrino-based node, a bitcoind-backed routing node, or a production remote-signer arrangement.
Why use it?
It explains node setups that can work without running the full Bitcoin software, as well as more advanced production designs.

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 B, and why

run-litd scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (bitcoind_setup_binary.sh, bitcoind_setup.sh, litd_setup_binary.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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.
