Everything You Need to Know About eth2: Quick Start Guide

--- name: "cli-anything-eth2-quickstart" description: >- 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. --- # 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, ETH2QSREPOROOT, or current working directory. - Writes compatible overrides into config/user_config.env` when flags map directly to repo settings.
