Automated summary
Fetches the current slot number or details for a specific slot/block on Solana (mainnet or devnet) through a shell script backed by the solana CLI.
Strengths
- Simple command with optional slot and chain arguments
- Supports mainnet-beta and devnet with chain aliases
- Sensible defaults (latest slot, solana mainnet)
- Explicitly points to another skill for EVM block info
Limitations
- Requires the solana CLI to be installed locally
- Covers Solana only, no other non-EVM chains
- Relies on an external plugin script whose exact behavior is not detailed
Use when the user wants the current Solana slot or to inspect a specific Solana slot/block on mainnet or devnet.
Do not use for EVM block information or for chains other than Solana and Solana devnet.
Security analysis
CautionThe declared purpose is a read-only query of Solana slot/block data using the official solana CLI, which is a legitimate and low-impact operation. There is no evidence of destructive commands, credential exfiltration, obfuscation, or safety-disabling instructions. The caution rating reflects that it runs an uninspected bundled bash script with network access and unvalidated positional arguments, so a reviewer should confirm the script only wraps 'solana slot'/'solana block' calls.
- •Invokes a bundled shell script (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/crypto-sol-slot-info.sh) whose contents are not shown in SKILL.md, so actual behavior cannot be verified from the skill text alone
- •Executes Bash and makes network calls to Solana RPC endpoints (mainnet-beta/devnet) via the solana CLI
- •User-supplied slot/chain arguments are passed positionally to the script; no input validation is described
Examples

Optional slot number and chain parameter. allowed-tools: Bash
Solana Slot Info
Gets slot or block information from Solana network.
Usage
Run the script with optional slot and chain:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/crypto-sol-slot-info.sh [slot] [chain]
Arguments
slot(optional): Slot number or "latest" (default)chain(optional): Chain name - solana (default), solana-devnet
Supported Chains
| Chain | Aliases | Network | |-------|---------|---------| | solana | sol | mainnet-beta | | solana-devnet | sol-devnet, devnet | devnet |
Requirements
solanaCLI must be installed
Examples
# Get current slot on Solana mainnet
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/crypto-sol-slot-info.sh
# Get specific slot/block on Solana
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/crypto-sol-slot-info.sh 250000000 solana
# Get current slot on devnet
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/crypto-sol-slot-info.sh latest solana-devnet
Note
For EVM block info, use the evm-block-info skill instead.
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/solana-slot-info-mrx3xxgs/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/solana-slot-info-mrx3xxgs' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/solana-slot-info-mrx3xxgs/download' --output '.skill-downloads/solana-slot-info-mrx3xxgs/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/solana-slot-info-mrx3xxgs/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/solana-slot-info-mrx3xxgs/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/solana-slot-info-mrx3xxgs/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
