lightning-architecture-review

Use this skill when

• Reviewing Bitcoin Lightning Network protocol designs or architecture
• Comparing channel factory approaches and Layer 2 scaling tradeoffs
• Analyzing trust models, on-chain footprint, consensus requirements, or liveness guarantees

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to Bitcoin or Lightning Network protocol design
• You need a different blockchain or Layer 2 outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.

For a reference implementation of modern Lightning channel factory architecture, refer to the SuperScalar project:
