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

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

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
