the-dao-security-round-skill

A Claude Code skill that lets you research the Giveth Ethereum Security quadratic-funding round in plain English. 134 projects indexed locally; ask Claude things like "which audit-tooling projects are in the round?" or "who's working on blob-data security?" and it answers from real data.

Install

Pick one. All three end up with the skill loaded in Claude Code.

Option A — npx (recommended)

npx the-dao-security-skill

Clones the skill into ~/.claude/skills/the-dao-security-round-skill. Restart Claude Code. Re-run the command later to update.

Option B — Plugin marketplace

Inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/ivanvolov/the-dao-security-round-skill.git
/plugin install the-dao-security-round@the-dao-security-round-skill

Update later with /plugin update.

Option C — Manual git clone

git clone https://github.com/ivanvolov/the-dao-security-round-skill ~/.claude/skills/the-dao-security-round-skill

Restart Claude Code. Update later with git pull in that directory.

What you can ask

Three questions worth trying first.

"How many projects are building smth around formal verification?"

"What SEAL org projects are in the round?"

"Can I have the top 5 underdogs in your opinion?"

A few more shapes that work:

What does Blobscan do, and who runs it?
Which projects work on fuzzing?
How many projects mention zk circuits in their pitch?
Compare the block explorers in the round.

Claude shells out to a small Python CLI (scripts/search.py) that filters the indexed records and returns compact JSON, then answers from what came back. No invented projects, no fabricated builders.

The round

Ethereum Security QF Round on Giveth — round id 16, slug ethereum-security. Co-organized by The DAO Fund (commemorating the 10-year mark since The DAO incident) and Giveth. Matching pool started at 500 ETH and has grown past 514 ETH with sponsor top-ups from Chainsecurity, Quantstamp ($50,000), and ECH Institute. 134 projects listed at the time the index was built.
