obol-stack-dev

A command-line development and quality guide for the Obol Stack, including its services for running stacks, models, agents, payments, networks, tunnels, and Kubernetes inspection. It routes each task to the relevant operational instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Obol Stack lifecycle work, CLI development, paid-service tests, blockchain smoke tests, local or remote quality checks, release checks, tunnels, and image updates.
Why use it?
It keeps development and testing on the supported command-line interfaces instead of ad-hoc scripts or direct system changes. This makes checks easier to repeat and evidence easier to inspect.

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

obol-stack-dev scanned grade A 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Obol Stack Dev

Operational router. Load only the reference for the task. Do not delegate understanding — read the relevant reference yourself; subagents lose context the next reference would have given them.

CLI-First Rule

Prefer the supported obol CLI surface for every stack operation: obol stack, obol model, obol agent, obol sell, obol buy, obol network, obol tunnel, and obol kubectl for inspection. Do not create ad-hoc shell scripts or verifier scripts. Do not bypass CLI behavior with direct script execution, raw kubectl mutation, or ConfigMap surgery when an obol command exists.

Existing repository flow scripts are release-gate artifacts, not the default QA interface. Use them only when the user explicitly asks for release-smoke/full flow validation or when no CLI equivalent exists; otherwise decompose checks into CLI commands plus obol kubectl evidence.

Reference Router

First Actions on Any Task

  1. Read existing files before changing anything.
  2. Use obol CLI and obol kubectl first; do not invent or run ad-hoc scripts.
  3. New worktree per remote QA run.
  4. Never write hostnames, personal paths, passwords, private keys, or raw tokens into skill files, PR text, or commit messages.
  5. Validate with the narrowest command set that covers the change.
  6. On a dev branch (anything not at the latest release tag), set OBOL_DEVELOPMENT=true for obolup.sh and obol stack up. Without it, obolup.sh downloads the released binary and your branch changes never run. Replace the go run wrapper with a real binary before long QA (go build -o .workspace/bin/obol ./cmd/obol) so every CLI call uses the same branch build.

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

obol-stack-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository ObolNetwork/obol-stack (11 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 4,024 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
