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#

# 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.
