Summary
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

Solana Development Skill (framework-kit-first)
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.
