Solana Development

What it does

This skill packages an opinionated, end-to-end tray of guidance for Solana development: UI patterns (framework-kit), client SDK automation (@solana/kit), on-chain program choices (Anchor or Pinocchio), and testing strategies (LiteSVM, Mollusk, Surfpool). It also encodes clear safety guardrails (never sign/send without explicit approval, default to devnet, simulate transactions) and operational checks for toolchain compatibility and migrations. The skill is meant to steer agents through concrete Solana tasks while preventing unsafe actions.

When to use it

Invoke this skill for requests like: building a Solana dApp, implementing wallet connection and signing flows, writing or auditing Anchor programs, generating typed program clients, running local or integration tests, debugging Solana errors, and deploying to devnet. Use it particularly when toolchain mismatches, GLIBC or dependency issues, or upgrade/migration concerns appear.

What's included

• Scripts: No executable scripts in the skill directory, but rich references under references/ (tooling guides, kit docs, testing cheat-sheets).
• References: Extensive reference documents covering kit usage, program patterns, testing, security checklists, and compatibility matrices.
• Instructions: Practical operating procedure: classify task layer, pick building blocks, implement with explicit cluster/RPC details, add tests, and deliver patches with risk notes.

Compatible agents

Infer agent compatibility: Node-capable agents and developer-facing toolchains (e.g., Codex/Copilot/Gemini CLI) are appropriate for codegen and CLI guidance.
