Our review
Unified skill hub for Solana development, routing to submodule skills and references based on the task.
Strengths
- Progressive disclosure: read only what you need
- Covers the full Solana ecosystem (programs, frontend, DeFi, oracles, etc.)
- Links to official resources and major protocols
- Includes references for modern tools (Kit, Token-2022, migrations)
Limitations
- Requires loading external sub-skills for specific details
- Can overwhelm beginners with too many options
- Does not provide directly executable code – depends on other skills
When working on any aspect of Solana development, from Anchor programs to DeFi integrations and token extensions.
If you need a standalone solution without referencing other skills, or if you're a complete beginner wanting a simple step-by-step tutorial.

Examples
I want to create a new Solana program using Anchor. Help me set up the project structure and write the basic smart contract.Show me how to integrate Jupiter swap functionality into my Solana dApp, including price quotes and transaction execution.I need to implement transfer fees and confidential transfers using SPL Token-2022. Provide examples in both Anchor and native Rust.name: solana-dev description: Unified skill hub for Solana development. Routes to external submodule skills (solana-foundation, sendai, solana-game, trailofbits, cloudflare, qedgen, colosseum) and local skills.
