Solana Development Skill (framework-kit-first)

End-to-end Solana development with framework-kit, @solana/kit, Anchor programs, and local testing.

- Covers full dApp stack: React/Next.js UI with wallet connection, transaction building and signing, on-chain Anchor or Pinocchio programs, and typed client generation via Codama

- Integrates Solana MCP server for live documentation search, concept explanations, and error diagnosis without relying on training data alone

- Emphasizes @solana/kit for client/RPC code and @solana/web3-compat as a boundary adapter only, avoiding web3.js type leakage across the app

- Includes local testing strategies (LiteSVM, Mollusk for unit tests; Surfpool for integration tests), security hardening checklists, and Token-2022 confidential transfer support

- Handles toolchain setup, version mismatches, GLIBC errors, and Anchor/Solana CLI upgrades with a compatibility matrix and common-errors reference

What this Skill is for

Use this Skill when the user asks for:

- Solana dApp UI work (React / Next.js)

- Wallet connection + signing flows

- Transaction building / sending / confirmation UX

- On-chain program development (Anchor or Pinocchio)

- Client SDK generation (typed program clients)

- Local testing (LiteSVM, Mollusk, Surfpool)

- Security hardening and audit-style reviews

- Confidential transfers (Token-2022 ZK extension)

- Toolchain setup, version mismatches, GLIBC errors, dependency conflicts

- Upgrading Anchor/Solana CLI versions, migration between versions

Default stack decisions (opinionated)

- UI: framework-kit first

- Use @solana/client + @solana/react-hooks.

- Prefer Wallet Standard discovery/connect via the framework-kit client.
