SKILL.md

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
