Skylens Transaction Analysis

Use {skillDir}/scripts/skylens.py to inspect one transaction with Skylens APIs.

When To Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants transaction-level investigation for a single EVM transaction on a supported chain. Typical triggers:

• The user provides a transaction hash and asks what happened.
• The user wants an execution trace or call flow for one transaction.
• The user asks which balances changed for a specific address in one transaction.
• The user asks which storage slots changed for a contract in one transaction.
• The user asks whether an address nonce changed in one transaction.
• The user wants contract source files tied to addresses touched by one transaction.

Quick Triage Workflow

1. Run get-trace to identify key calls/contracts.
2. Run list-source-files for suspicious contract addresses to enumerate available files.
3. Run get-source-file with selected --FILE_INDEX (and optional --OUTPUT) to fetch source code.
4. Run state-change for suspicious contract addresses (storage deltas).
5. Run nonce-change for addresses that sent/triggered actions.
6. Run balance-change for holder asset impact.

Commands

• get-trace: readable execution trace (paged)
• balance-change: balance deltas for one holder
• state-change: storage slot changes for one address
• nonce-change: nonce before/after for one address
• list-source-files: list contract source files (or AST-only files) by tx
• get-source-file: get one contract file by index from list-source-files

Supported Chains

eth, bsc, polygon, optimism, arb, base, blast, avalanche, scroll, linea, sonic, kaia, world, unichain, hyperliquid, plasma

Shared Parameter Rules

• tx_hash: full hash with 0x
• chain: must be one of supported chains above
• address / holder: case-insensitive, accepts with or without 0x

get-trace

CLI:

{skillDir}/scripts/skylens.py get-trace --TX --CHAIN --OFFSET 0 --SIZE 100

Output:

• Prints one readable trace line per event.
• Prints only [offset, offset+size).

Output format:

{index}({depth}) {op} {description} [source: ...]

Source suffix (optional):

source: [c: {contractAddress}, f:{fileIdx}, s:{start}, o:{length}]

Current event variants:

• callEvent
• createEvent
• storageAccessEvent
• logEvent
• keccak256Event

balance-change

CLI:

{skillDir}/scripts/skylens.py balance-change --TX --CHAIN --HOLDER
