SKILL.md# /check-btcpay Audit BTCPay Server configuration. Output findings as structured report. ## What This Does 1. Check Greenfield API connectivity 2. Audit store configuration 3. Review webhook endpoints + signature verification 4. Check payment notification settings 5. Verify Lightning node connection 6. Verify wallet hot/cold separation 7. Output prioritized findings (P0-P3) **This is a primitive.** It only investigates and reports. Use `/log-production-issues` to create issues or `/check-production` for infra review. ## Process ### 1. API Connectivity (Greenfield API health) ```bash export BTCPAY_URL="https://btcpay.example.com" export BTCPAY_API_KEY="your-api-key" # Greenfield health curl -s -H "Authorization: token $BTCPAY_API_KEY" "$BTCPAY_URL/api/v1/health" # List stores (requires valid API key) curl -s -H "Authorization: token $BTCPAY_API_KEY" "$BTCPAY_URL/api/v1/stores" | jq ``` ### 2. Store Configuration ```bash # Set STORE_ID from the stores list above export STORE_ID="store_id_here" # Store details curl -s -H "Authorization: token $BTCPAY_API_KEY" "$BTCPAY_URL/api/v1/stores/$STORE_ID" | jq # Enabled payment methods curl -s -H "Authorization: token $BTCPAY_API_KEY" "$BTCPAY_URL/api/v1/stores/$STORE_ID/payment-methods" | jq ``` ### 3. Webhook Endpoints + Signature Verification ```bash # List configured webhooks curl -s -H "Authorization: token $BTCPAY_API_KEY" "$BTCPAY_URL/api/v1/stores/$STORE_ID/webhooks" | jq # Webhook handlers in code find . -path "*/api/*webhook*" -name "*.ts" 2>/dev/null | head -5 # Signature verification in handlers? grep -rE "btcpay|webhook.*signature|hmac" --include="*.ts" . 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | head -5 ``` ### 4. Payment Notification Settings ```bash # In-app notification handlers (invoice paid/confirmed) grep -rE "invoice.*(paid|confirmed|expired)|payment.*(received|settled)" --include="*.ts" . 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | head -5 # Check for notification URL/config in app env grep -rE "BTCPAY_.*(NOTIFY|NOTIFICATION|WEBHOOK)" --include="*.env*" . 2>/dev/null | head -5 ``` ### 5. Lightning Node Connection ```bash # Confirm Lightning payment method enabled at store curl -s -H "Authorization: token $BTCPAY_API_KEY" "$BTCPAY_URL/api/v1/stores/$STORE_ID/payment-methods" | jq # Lightning node health checks in repo grep -rE "lnd|lightning|lnurl|bolt11" --include="*.ts" . 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | head -5 ``` ### 6. Wallet Hot/Cold Separation ```bash # Look for hot wallet usage or private keys in repo grep -rE "xprv|seed|mnemonic|private key" --include="*.ts" --include="*.env*" . 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | head -5 # Watch-only setup hints (xpub descriptors) grep -rE "xpub|ypub|zpub|descriptor" --include="*.ts" --include="*.env*" . 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | head -5 ``` ### 7. Deep Audit Spawn `btcpay-auditor` agent for comprehensive review: - Invoice lifecycle handling (new, paid, confirmed, expired) - Webhook signature verification and replay protection - Store policies vs code expectations - Lightning vs on-chain fallback behavior - Wallet key custody and backup posture ## Output Format ```markdown ## BTCPay Audit ### P0: Critical (Payment Failures) - Greenfield API unreachable - `GET /api/v1/health` fails - Webhooks not receiving events (no active endpoints) - Store has no enabled payment methods ### P1: Essential (Must Fix) - Webhook signature not verified - security risk - Invoice status handling missing (paid/confirmed/expired) - Lightning payment method enabled but node not connected - Notification URL missing or misconfigured ### P2: Important (Should Fix) - No retry/backoff on webhook delivery failures - Payment method config inconsistent between store and app - Hot wallet usage detected without separation plan - No monitoring of invoice settlement latency ### P3: Nice to Have - Add separate store for test vs production - Add automated webhook replay tooling - Add dashboard for invoice outcomes ## Current Status - Greenfield API: Unknown - Stores: Unknown - Webhooks: Unknown - Notifications: Unknown - Lightning: Unknown - Wallet separation: Unknown ## Summary - P0: 3 | P1: 4 | P2: 4 | P3: 3 - Recommendation: Fix API connectivity + webhook verification first ``` ## Priority Mapping | Gap | Priority | |-----|----------| | Greenfield API unreachable | P0 | | No enabled payment methods | P0 | | Webhooks not receiving events | P0 | | Webhook signature not verified | P1 | | Missing invoice status handling | P1 | | Lightning node not connected | P1 | | Notification URL missing | P1 | | Missing retry/backoff | P2 | | Config mismatch store vs app | P2 | | Hot wallet without separation | P2 | | Monitoring gaps | P2 | | Optimization/analytics | P3 | ## Related - `/check-lightning` - Lightning setup review - `/check-bitcoin` - On-chain wallet review - `/check-production` - Infra readiness - `/log-production-issues` - Create issues from findings
