Cauldron (Frostbite ModelKit)

What it does

Provides a hands-on workflow for preparing AI models for on-chain execution with Frostbite on Solana. The skill documents CLI commands and sequences to initialize projects, convert and pack weights, build guest binaries, create deterministic seeded accounts, upload weights, and run on-chain inference (devnet). It also describes a TUI mode (Wizard/Manual), lifecycle helpers for account management, and guidance for invocation tuning and safety.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to deploy or test a Frostbite-compatible model on Solana: setting up manifests, preparing weights, initializing seeded deterministic accounts, uploading binaries/weights, and running inference on devnet. It is also useful for developers debugging account lifecycle and upload/invoke flows.

What's included

• Scripts: references to convenience scripts (e.g. cauldron-devnet-fastpath.sh, cauldron-seeded-cleanup.sh) are noted in the repo. (has_scripts=false in fetch output but repository includes docs/examples).
• References: README and detailed docs (CAULDRON.md, FROSTBITE_MODEL_SPEC.md, FROSTBITE_GUEST_CONTRACT.md).
• Instructions: step-by-step CLI examples for init, convert, build-guest, accounts init/create/clear/close, upload, program load, input-write, invoke, and output. Invocation tuning guidance for heavy/light templates is provided.

Compatible agents

Likely useful in developer-focused agents and CLI-capable assistants (Copilot/Codex/Cursor/Git-aware agents) that can run or explain shell workflows.
