Warp Fork

Fork a warp route using the local HTTP registry.

Instructions:

0. Check if http://localhost:3333 is running. If not, run the start-http-registry SKILL. If that fails, ask the user to prompt the user for an alternate registry URL to use instead of http://localhost:3333.

1. First, ask the user to prompt the user for the warp route ID:

   • Question: "Which warp route would you like to fork?"
   • Header: "Warp Route"
   • Options: Provide 2-3 common examples if known, otherwise use generic placeholders. Note that the fork may fail if the warp routes are invalid. Re-prompt the user!

2. Run the command in the background:

   pnpm -C typescript/cli exec tsx cli.ts warp fork --registry $REGISTRY --warpRouteId $WARP_ROUTE_ID
   

   • Use the registry URL from step 0 for $REGISTRY (http://localhost:3333 by default, or user-provided if the local registry failed)
   • Use run_in_background: true so it doesn't block the conversation.

3. After starting, report the task/shell ID and the fork registry server port back to the user.

4. Remind the user they can stop it later with KillShell using that ID

Prerequisites:

• The http-registry server must be running on port 3333. If not, start it first with /start-http-registry.
• Forking is per-protocol: EVM chains need Foundry anvil on PATH; Sealevel chains need a locally-installed surfpool binary (>= 1.5.0) on PATH — there is no Docker fallback in the CLI. Install the pinned, checksum-verified surfpool release the way CI does — see the Install surfpool step in .github/workflows/test-cli-e2e.yml (a pinned v1.5.0 release tarball verified against its SHA-256); do not pipe the mutable run.surfpool.run installer to a shell. If the binary is missing, warp fork aborts with a "surfpool 1.5.0+ is required" error before forking.

• /warp-simulate-safe-txs — EVM fork → replay a Safe batch → check.
• /warp-simulate-svm-txs — Sealevel fork → replay SVM/Squads governance txs → check.

Example output:

Started warp fork for EZETH/ethereum-megaeth in background (shell ID: shell_abc123). To stop it later, I can use KillShell with that ID.
