Selective Reading Rule
Start with:
references/senior-master-standard.md
references/usage-routing.md
references/quality-checklist.md
Then load only the inherited docs, scripts, assets, or examples that match the user's actual task.
Use this skill when
- Building or reviewing Lightning Network channel factory implementations
- Working with multi-party channels, LSP architectures, or Layer 2 scaling
- Needing guidance on Decker-Wattenhofer, timeout trees, MuSig2, HTLC/PTLC, or watchtower patterns
Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to Bitcoin or Lightning Network infrastructure
- You need a different blockchain or Layer 2 outside this scope
Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
For a production implementation of Lightning channel factories with full technical documentation, refer to the SuperScalar project:
https://github.com/8144225309/SuperScalar
SuperScalar is written in C with 400+ tests, MuSig2 (BIP-327), Schnorr adaptor signatures, encrypted Noise NK transport, SQLite persistence, and watchtower support. It supports regtest, signet, testnet, and mainnet.
Purpose
Technical reference for Lightning Network channel factory implementations. Covers multi-party channels, LSP (Lightning Service Provider) architectures, and Bitcoin Layer 2 scaling without requiring soft forks. Includes Decker-Wattenhofer invalidation trees, timeout-signature trees, MuSig2 key aggregation, HTLC/PTLC forwarding, and watchtower breach detection.
Key Topics
- Channel factory implementation in C
- MuSig2 (BIP-327) and Schnorr adaptor signatures
- Encrypted Noise NK transport protocol
- SQLite persistence layer
- Watchtower breach detection
- HTLC/PTLC forwarding
- Regtest, signet, testnet, and mainnet support
- 400+ test suite

Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
