What problem does it solve? Developers new to Solana come from very different backgrounds β EVM developers, backend engineers, or complete beginners β and generic tutorials either overwhelm or underwhelm them. This Skill interviews the user first, then teaches Solana fundamentals at the right depth using targeted reference material. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Background-Adaptive Teaching: Uses an interview step to detect whether the user is an EVM dev, backend dev, frontend dev, or complete beginner, then selects the appropriate reference guides. - Curated Reference Material: Includes a Solana-vs-EVM comparison (account model, PDAs, CPIs, tooling mapping), a builder-focused overview with concrete metrics (400ms blocks, ~$0.00025 fees), and a categorized ecosystem map covering DeFi, NFTs, payments, wallets, and AI tooling. - Journey Handoff: Writes a knowledge-level assessment to .superstack/idea-context.md and routes users to downstream skills like idea validation or project scaffolding. - Use Case: An Ethereum developer says "I want to try Solana" β the Skill asks about their background, explains the stateless program/account model differences, maps Hardhat workflows to Anchor, and flags common EVM-dev gotchas. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to teach you Solana fundamentals and answer its questions about your development background so it can tailor the explanation.
