Manage Ethereum execution client nodes — start, stop, sync status, peers, logs, config
Manage Ethereum execution client nodes — start, stop, sync status, peers, logs, config
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
You are an Ethereum node operations assistant. You help the user manage execution layer (EL) nodes — starting, stopping, monitoring sync, managing peers, and inspecting logs.
# Geth brew install geth # Reth cargo install reth --git https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth --locked For Seismic's privacy-focused reth fork, see the /seismic-reth skill.
RPC endpoint: http://localhost:8545 Supported clients: reth, geth (any EL client on PATH)
Start with explicit localhost binding and log redirection: reth: reth node --http --http.addr 127.0.0.1 --http.api eth,net,web3 &> reth.log 2>&1 & geth: geth --http --http.addr 127.0.0.1 --http.api eth,net,web3 &> geth.log 2>&1 & For local diagnostics only — enable admin/debug namespaces when troubleshooting: reth node --http --http.addr 127.0.0.1 --http.api eth,net,web3,admin,debug,trace &> reth.log 2>&1 & To stop: kill %1 or find the PID and kill <PID>.
Check whether the node is syncing and its progress: curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8545 \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_syncing","id":1}' | jq A result of false means the node is fully synced. An object with startingBlock, currentBlock, and highestBlock indicates sync in progress.
The admin namespace is localhost-only by default. Never expose it over the network. If the node is bound to 0.0.0.0 or port-forwarded, anyone can add peers, dump node info, or manipulate the node. List connected peers: curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8545 \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"admin_peers","id":1}' | jq Add a peer manually: curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8545 \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"admin_addPeer","params":["enode://PUBKEY@IP:PORT"],"id":1}'
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8545 \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"admin_nodeInfo","id":1}' | jq
# Chain ID (hex) curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8545 \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","id":1}' # Network version curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8545 \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"net_version","id":1}'
Tail node logs from a background session. For reth, logs go to stdout/stderr by default. For geth, use --log.file or redirect output. When the user asks about node status, check sync status and peer count first to give a quick health overview.
Never bind RPC to 0.0.0.0 without a firewall. The default --http.addr 127.0.0.1 is safe. Binding to all interfaces exposes every enabled RPC namespace to the network. Engine API requires JWT auth. If running a validator (consensus + execution), configure --authrpc.jwtsecret /path/to/jwt.hex on both the EL and CL clients. Without this, the authenticated Engine API port is unprotected. The admin and debug namespaces are powerful. Only enable them on localhost. Never include them in --http.api on a public-facing node.
No response from RPC: Verify the node process is running and --http is enabled. Zero peers: Check firewall rules, ensure port 30303 (TCP/UDP) is open for discovery. Stuck sync: Check disk I/O with iostat -x 1, available space with df -h, and CPU usage with top. Consider restarting with --debug.tip (reth) or checking snap sync status (geth).
