What it does

CLI Anything Eth2 Quickstart is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Use eth2-quickstart to autonomously deploy a hardened Ethereum node, install execution and consensus clients, configure validator metadata, expose RPC safely, and inspect node health with structured JSON output.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Ethereum. The repository describes itself as: "CLI-Anything: Making ALL Software Agent-Native" -- CLI-Hub: https://clianything.cc/. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/cli-anything-eth2-quickstart”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34f5195. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

CLI Anything Eth2 Quickstart loads about 591 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 148 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~591

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

cli-anything-eth2-quickstart

Agent-native harness for the chimera-defi/eth2-quickstart automation repo. This CLI wraps the repo's canonical shell scripts instead of replacing them.

When To Use

Use this skill when the task involves:

  • bootstrapping a fresh Ethereum node host
  • installing execution and consensus clients with explicit client diversity
  • enabling MEV-Boost or Commit-Boost workflows
  • exposing RPC through Nginx or Caddy
  • updating validator fee recipient or graffiti settings without handling secrets
  • checking machine-readable health with --json

Core Commands

bash
# Canonical machine-readable health
cli-anything-eth2-quickstart --json health-check

# Phase 2 install with explicit client choices
cli-anything-eth2-quickstart --json install-clients \
  --network mainnet \
  --execution-client geth \
  --consensus-client lighthouse \
  --mev mev-boost \
  --confirm

# Guided node setup
cli-anything-eth2-quickstart --json setup-node \
  --phase auto \
  --execution-client geth \
  --consensus-client prysm \
  --mev commit-boost \
  --confirm

# Validator metadata only; no key import
cli-anything-eth2-quickstart --json configure-validator \
  --consensus-client prysm \
  --fee-recipient 0x1111111111111111111111111111111111111111 \
  --graffiti "CLI-Anything"

# Install nginx-backed RPC exposure
cli-anything-eth2-quickstart --json start-rpc \
  --web-stack nginx \
  --server-name rpc.example.org \
  --confirm

Safety Rules

  • Always use --json for agent parsing.
  • Require human confirmation before setup-node, install-clients, or start-rpc.
  • Do not generate validator keys.
  • Do not remove secrets or wallet material.
  • Treat configure-validator as metadata and operator-guidance only.
  • Respect the reboot boundary between Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Runtime Expectations

  • Operates on a local eth2-quickstart checkout.
  • Discovers repo root from --repo-root, ETH2QS_REPO_ROOT, or current working directory.
  • Writes compatible overrides into config/user_config.env when flags map directly to repo settings.
