What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you avoid acting on stale or incorrect information about Ethereum protocol changes by showing how to verify whether a feature or EIP is actually planned, scheduled, or already included.
Core Features & Use Cases
- EIP lifecycle clarity: Distinguishes Draft/Review/Last Call/Final and explains how fork-scoped inclusion states (CFI/SFI/DFI) work.
- Fork status verification: Guides you to confirm current readiness and fork relationships using forkcast.org rather than relying on outdated blogs or roadmap diagrams.
- Rational, source-driven answering: Provides a practical source order (forkcast.org → eth-rnd-archive → ethereum/pm → EIPs → execution/consensus specs) to answer “what’s next” accurately.
- Use cases: When you need to (a) decide whether to build for an upcoming capability, (b) check if a claimed feature is real and scheduled, or (c) propose a change and need to understand the process.
Quick Start
Ask the skill whether a specific feature or EIP is scheduled for a particular upcoming fork, and it will walk you through checking forkcast status, EIP status, and recent discussion signals.
