solana-foundation/solana-dev-skill

PurposeA comprehensive Agent Skill delivering current Solana development knowledge (July 2026) to any coding agent with SKILL.md support. It auto-loads on Solana-related requests—dApp UI, wallet connection, Anchor/Pinocchio programs, Codama clients, Surfpool/LiteSVM testing, security, and RPC lookups. Using progressive disclosure, the main SKILL.md plus on-demand references cover SDK, toolchain, and migrations. Ideal for developers needing up-to-date, opinionated Solana guidance across multiple agents and models without manual invocation.

Core Idea

The solana-dev skill is a single, comprehensive Agent Skill that embeds July 2026 Solana best practices directly into any coding agent via the Agent Skills progressive-disclosure spec.

Design Principles

Model-agnostic & agent-agnostic: works with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, Cursor, etc. via SKILL.md + references/.
Progressive disclosure: SKILL.md gives core guidance; detailed refs (kit, testing, security, programs) load only when relevant.
Opinionated stack: defaults to @solana/kit v7, Anchor 1.1, Surfpool; documents legacy web3.js v3 interop.

Key Modules

solana-dev: auto-triggers on Solana dApp, program, wallet, test, debug, or RPC lookup requests.
Reference files cover SDK, frontend, testing, IDL codegen, security, migrations.

Best Practice

Install once; agent auto-loads on Solana topics. Use example prompts for dApps, Anchor, Pinocchio, Surfpool, or version/GLIBC fixes.

Skill Composition

How skills in this set are triggered

Each skill is designed for a specific kind of caller — some only fire when you name them, others load automatically when the model judges them relevant. The split below summarises both modes at a glance.

User-Invoked0

These skills only fire when you call them by name. The agent will not load them on its own — they stay inert until invoked.

No skill in this set is recommended for manual invocation.

Model-Invoked1

These skills are loaded automatically by the agent when it judges the context relevant. You usually don't need to call them yourself.
