What problem does it solve? Choosing the right stack and wiring up a new Solana project involves researching starter repos, SDKs, protocols, and tooling. This Skill turns a validated idea into a ready-to-code workspace by selecting the appropriate architecture, cloning starter repos, installing skills, and configuring MCPs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Stack Decision Guidance: Uses a decision tree to match your idea (dApp, agent, bot, program, mobile, data pipeline) to the right technology stack and architecture pattern. - Catalog-Based Recommendations: Maps idea types to verified repos, skills, and MCPs from the solana-new catalogs, covering DeFi, NFTs, AI agents, DePIN, gaming, and more. - Integrate vs Build Analysis: Checks whether existing protocols (Jupiter, Kamino, Orca) can be integrated instead of writing custom Anchor programs, and verifies protocol health before committing. - Use Case: You have an idea for a Solana trading bot. The Skill recommends the Solana Agent Kit pattern, scaffolds the project with npx create-solana-agent, installs relevant skills, configures Helius MCP, and writes a build-context file for the next phase. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to scaffold your Solana project by describing what you want to build and confirming the proposed stack plan.
