Install and run Lightning Terminal (litd) which bundles lnd, loop, pool, tapd, and faraday in a single Docker container. Defaults to neutrino backend with SQLite storage on testnet. Supports watch-only mode with remote signer, standalone mode, and regtest development. Use when setting up a Lightning node for payments, channel management, liquidity management (loop), channel marketplace (pool), taproot assets (tapd), or enabling agent L402 commerce.

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. 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. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Install and operate a Lightning Terminal (litd) node for agent-driven payments. litd bundles lnd with loop, pool, tapd, and faraday β giving agents access to liquidity management, channel marketplace, and taproot assets in a single container. Default: Docker container, neutrino backend, SQLite storage, testnet. No full Bitcoin node required. Use --network mainnet for real coins. Default mode: watch-only with remote signer. Private keys stay on a separate signer container β the agent never touches key material. For quick testing, use --mode standalone (keys on disk, less secure).

Default is testnet. Override with --network: # Testnet (default β no real coins) skills/lnd/scripts/start-lnd.sh # Mainnet (real coins β use with remote signer) skills/lnd/scripts/start-lnd.sh --network mainnet --watchonly # Signet (testing network) skills/lnd/scripts/start-lnd.sh --network signet
litd integrates multiple daemons. Access them via the --cli flag: # lnd CLI (default) skills/lnd/scripts/lncli.sh getinfo # Loop β liquidity management (submarine swaps) skills/lnd/scripts/lncli.sh --cli loop quote out 100000 # Pool β channel marketplace skills/lnd/scripts/lncli.sh --cli pool accounts list # Taproot Assets (tapd) skills/lnd/scripts/lncli.sh --cli tapcli assets list # Lightning Terminal (litd) skills/lnd/scripts/lncli.sh --cli litcli getinfo # Faraday β channel analytics skills/lnd/scripts/lncli.sh --cli frcli revenue
Default: pulls the litd Docker image. skills/lnd/scripts/install.sh This pulls lightninglabs/lightning-terminal:v0.16.0-alpha from Docker Hub and verifies the image. The litd image includes lncli, litcli, loop, pool, tapcli, and frcli.
skills/lnd/scripts/install.sh --source Requires Go toolchain. Builds lnd and lncli with all build tags.
For running without Docker, use --native: # Start natively skills/lnd/scripts/start-lnd.sh --native --mode standalone # Stop natively skills/lnd/scripts/stop-lnd.sh --native Native mode uses the config template at skills/lnd/templates/lnd.conf.template and runs lnd as a background process.
Connect to a remote lnd node with connection credentials: skills/lnd/scripts/lncli.sh \ --rpcserver remote-host:10009 \ --tlscertpath ~/remote-tls.cert \ --macaroonpath ~/remote-admin.macaroon \ getinfo
For read-only access without direct gRPC connectivity, use the lightning-mcp-server skill with Lightning Node Connect (LNC). LNC uses encrypted WebSocket tunnels β no TLS certs, macaroons, or open ports needed. Just a pairing phrase from Lightning Terminal. skills/lightning-mcp-server/scripts/install.sh skills/lightning-mcp-server/scripts/configure.sh skills/lightning-mcp-server/scripts/setup-claude-config.sh

Generates a seed locally. Use only for testing. skills/lnd/scripts/create-wallet.sh --mode standalone Handles the full wallet creation flow via REST API: Generates a secure random wallet passphrase Calls /v1/genseed to generate a 24-word seed mnemonic Calls /v1/initwallet with the passphrase and seed Stores credentials securely: ~/.lnget/lnd/wallet-password.txt (mode 0600) ~/.lnget/lnd/seed.txt (mode 0600)
skills/lnd/scripts/unlock-wallet.sh Auto-unlock is enabled by default in the container via --wallet-unlock-password-file. Manual unlock is only needed if auto-unlock is disabled.

The Docker compose templates pass configuration via command-line arguments. For advanced customization, mount a custom litd.conf: litd template: skills/lnd/templates/litd.conf.template lnd template (native): skills/lnd/templates/lnd.conf.template Note: litd requires lnd. prefix for lnd flags (e.g., lnd.bitcoin.active). Standalone lnd does not use the prefix.
Backend: neutrino (BIP 157/158 light client) Database: SQLite Network: testnet (override with --network mainnet) Auto-unlock: enabled via password file

See references/security.md for detailed guidance. Default model (watch-only with remote signer): No seed or private keys on the agent machine Signing delegated to signer container via gRPC Set up with the lightning-security-module skill Standalone model (testing only): Wallet passphrase and seed stored on disk (0600) Suitable for testnet and quick testing Macaroon security: Never give agents the admin macaroon in production Bake scoped macaroons with the macaroon-bakery skill
Run skills/lnd/scripts/create-wallet.sh to create the wallet.
Run skills/lnd/scripts/unlock-wallet.sh. Auto-unlock is enabled by default.
