Localnet

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to start localnet
• Run the local network
• Test proof requests locally
• Debug broker/order-stream issues

Example prompts

• “/localnet”

Requirements

• Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 93e971a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • just
  • cargo
  • docker
  • curl
  • jq

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use docker and curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Localnet loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 703 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~89

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

  . Other commands don't need it — `source .env.localnet` sets it.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Start and interact with the Boundless localnet (docker compose-based local development network). Covers dev mode (fake proofs, broker included) and full proving mode, submitting requests, and debugging order flow. Use when the user wants to start localnet, run the local network, test proof requests locally, or debug broker/order-stream issues.

# Start the full localnet (anvil + postgres + minio + order-stream + broker)
# Run in foreground — wait for it to finish before proceeding
RISC0_DEV_MODE=1 just localnet

source .env.localnet && cargo run --example submit_echo -- \
  --bidding-start "$(date +%s)" \
  --min-price "0.001 ETH" \
  --max-price "0.003 ETH"

# Terminal 1: Start the localnet (anvil + postgres + minio + order-stream, NO broker)
RISC0_DEV_MODE=false just localnet

# Terminal 2: Start the prover cluster (Bento + broker)
source .env.localnet && just prover

# Terminal 3: Submit a test request
source .env.localnet && cargo run --example submit_echo -- \
  --bidding-start "$(date +%s)" \
  --min-price "0.001 ETH" \
  --max-price "0.003 ETH"
