name: crunch-protocol-skill description: Natural language interface for Crunch Protocol CLI. Maps user requests to CLI commands for managing coordinators, competitions (crunches), rewards, and checkpoints. Supports output formatting for Slack, Telegram, Discord, or plain text.

Crunch Protocol CLI Skill

This skill translates natural language queries into crunch-cli CLI commands and formats outputs for various mediums.

Setup

Ensure the CLI is installed globally:

npm install -g @crunchdao/crunch-cli

Verify installation:

crunch-cli --version

Profiles

Profiles are stored in profiles.json (next to this file). Each profile maps a short name to a set of CLI flags so users can say things like "list crunches for m-jeremy" instead of typing full addresses every time.

Profile file format

{
  "profiles": {
    "m-jeremy": {
      "url": "https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=...",
      "wallet": "/path/to/keypair.json",
      "multisigAddress": "9WzDXwBbmkg8...",
      "coordinatorWallet": "5abc..."
    },
    "devnet": {
      "url": "devnet",
      "wallet": "/path/to/dev-keypair.json",
      "coordinatorWallet": ""
    }
  }
}

Profile fields → CLI flags

Profile field	CLI flag	Notes
url	-u <value>	RPC URL or moniker: mainnet-beta, devnet, testnet, localhost
wallet	-w <value>	Path to Solana keypair. Only used in multisig mode when the wallet is a proposer.
multisigAddress	-m <value>	Squads multisig address (not the vault).
coordinatorWallet	appended to coordinator get	The coordinator owner address. When set, default to this coordinator's context (e.g. listing its crunches).

How to resolve a profile

When a user references a profile name:

1. Read profiles.json from the skill directory.
2. Look up the profile by name (case-insensitive match).
3. Map each non-empty field to its CLI flag (see table above).
4. Prepend the flags to whatever command is being built.

Example: User says "list crunches for m-jeremy"

1. Load profile mainnet-proposer → { url: "https://mainnet...", wallet: "/path/...", multisigAddress: "9WzDX..." }
2. Build: crunch-cli -u "https://mainnet..." -w "/path/..." -m "9WzDX..." crunches list

Example: User says "show coordinator for devnet"

1. Load profile devnet → { url: "devnet" }
2. Build: crunch-cli -u devnet coordinator get

Managing profiles

• Users can ask to add, update, or remove profiles. When they do, read the current profiles.json, apply the change, and write it back.
• If profiles.json doesn't exist yet, create it with the structure above.
• When a user says "set profile to m-jeremy" or "use profile m-jeremy", remember it for the rest of the conversation and apply those flags to all subsequent commands automatically.

Command Mapping Rules

IMPORTANT: Direct Phrase Mapping

For speed and consistency, map these phrases directly to CLI commands without LLM interpretation:

User Phrase Pattern	CLI Command
get info about crunch <name>	crunch-cli crunch get "<name>"
get crunch <name>	crunch-cli crunch get "<name>"
show crunch <name>	crunch-cli crunch get "<name>"
crunch details <name>	crunch-cli crunch get "<name>"
get coordinator <address>	crunch-cli coordinator get "<address>"
show coordinator	crunch-cli coordinator get
my coordinator	crunch-cli coordinator get
list crunches	crunch-cli crunches list
list my crunches	crunch-cli crunches list
show all crunches	crunch-cli crunches list
get config	crunch-cli coordinator get-config
coordinator config	crunch-cli coordinator get-config
checkpoint for <name>	crunch-cli crunch checkpoint-get-current "<name>"
current checkpoint <name>	crunch-cli crunch checkpoint-get-current "<name>"
set certificate	crunch-cli coordinator cert set
set cert	crunch-cli coordinator cert set
update certificate	crunch-cli coordinator cert set
get certificate	crunch-cli coordinator cert get
get cert	crunch-cli coordinator cert get
show certificate	crunch-cli coordinator cert get
my certificate	crunch-cli coordinator cert get
sweep tokens <name>	crunch-cli crunch sweep-token-accounts "<name>"
sweep token accounts <name>	crunch-cli crunch sweep-token-accounts "<name>"
check prize accounts <name>	crunch-cli crunch check-prize-atas "<name>"
check atas <name>	crunch-cli crunch check-prize-atas "<name>"
map cruncher addresses	crunch-cli crunch map-cruncher-addresses
emission checkpoint add	crunch-cli crunch emission-checkpoint-add

Name Extraction Rules

• When a crunch name is provided, wrap it in quotes in the CLI command
• Common competition names: Crunch, Competition, Tournament, Challenge

Execution Pattern

1. Parse the user request to identify:

   • The action (get, create, start, end, list, etc.)
   • The target (crunch, coordinator, checkpoint, etc.)
   • The name/identifier if applicable
   • Any additional parameters

2. Map to CLI command using the direct mapping table above

3. Execute the command:

   crunch-cli [options] <command> [arguments]
   

4. Format The output of the CLI should be kept as close as possible, except if the user told you to post process the data. But map the output for the specified medium (see Output Formatting below as reference to use)

Error Handling

If a command fails:

1. Show user-friendly error message
2. Suggest possible fixes:
   • Wrong network? Add -u devnet or -u mainnet-beta
   • Missing wallet? Add -w /path/to/wallet.json
   • Crunch not found? List available crunches with crunches list

Example Workflows

"Get me info about crunch Synth"

crunch-cli crunch get "Synth"

"Show my coordinator on mainnet"

crunch-cli -u mainnet-beta coordinator get

"List all crunches for slack"

crunch-cli crunches list

Then format output for Slack.

"What's the current checkpoint for the Chaos competition?"

crunch-cli crunch checkpoint-get-current "Chaos"
