Solana Dev Skill — Setup Guide¶

Source: skills.sh (58.4K installs) GitHub: solana-foundation/solana-dev-skill Category: Blockchain Development First Seen: August 13, 2026 sweep Quality Tier: 🟢 Production (official foundation skill)

A single-purpose, official skill from the Solana Foundation. It encodes current Solana development practice for agents: program (smart contract) development with Anchor, token standards (SPL, Token-2022), RPC patterns, and ecosystem tooling. One of the few first-party blockchain skills on skills.sh — and the highest-installed one.

Installation¶

npx skills add solana-foundation/solana-dev-skill

Core Skills¶

Skill	Installs	Use For
solana-dev	58.4K	Solana development — programs, tokens, RPC, tooling

Prerequisites¶

Rust toolchain for Anchor programs (or TypeScript for client-side)
Solana CLI: sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/stable/install)"
RPC endpoint (public devnet works for testing)

CorpusIQ Use Cases¶

Web3 connector research — Solana data patterns (RPC, account indexing) inform future payment/chain connector designs
Crypto OSINT pairing — combines with follow-the-crypto from the OSINT skill set for on-chain investigation workflows

Limitations / Verification¶

Devnet-first: production programs need audit before mainnet deploy — the skill encodes development practice, not audit standards
Verify: solana --version after CLI install, then anchor build on a sample program
