Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 5 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.devnet.solana.com, api.mainnet-beta.solana.com, mcp.solana.com, release.anza.xyz, run.surfpool.run.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to tools and information related to Solana development. It allows users to interact with the Solana blockchain, build decentralized applications (dApps), and manage Solana assets programmatically. Specifically, it supports tasks like deploying smart contracts and interacting with existing Solana programs.

When to use it

  • Smart Contract Deployment: Deploy a new Solana Program (smart contract) to the Solana network.
  • Transaction Simulation: Simulate transactions on the devnet before deploying them to mainnet.
  • Program Interaction: Interact with an existing Solana program, such as querying data or triggering functions.
  • Asset Management: Manage and track Solana-based assets like tokens or NFTs.

Key capabilities

  • Solana Program Deployment
  • Transaction Simulation on devnet
  • Interaction with Existing Solana Programs
  • Solana Asset Management

Example prompts

  • "Deploy this Rust program to the Solana devnet."
  • "Simulate a transaction that sends 10 SOL from address A to address B."
  • "What is the current balance of token mint X?"
  • "Interact with the Y program and call function Z with parameters P1 and P2."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with Solana development concepts, including accounts, programs, and transactions.
  • The skill primarily supports interaction with the Solana devnet for testing purposes.
