What problem does it solve? AI models trained on Ethereum patterns or outdated Solana docs produce broken Solana code — wrong assumptions about state storage, PDA bumps, rent, priority fees, and Token-2022 compatibility. This Skill provides accurate, current reference material on Solana's accounts model, PDAs, CPIs, rent mechanics, and key SIMD proposals so generated code actually compiles and behaves correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Core Primitive Reference: Covers the accounts model, PDA derivation with canonical bumps, CPI patterns (invoke vs invoke_signed), rent-exempt minimums, and versioned transactions with Address Lookup Tables. - SIMD Lookup Workflow: Fetches any SIMD spec on demand from the solana-improvement-documents GitHub repo, with deep-dives on SIMD-0033, 0046, 0047, 0096, and 0172. - Token-2022 Guidance: Explains Token Extensions (transfer fees, non-transferable, metadata pointer) and how to write programs compatible with both SPL Token and Token-2022. - Use Case: When building an Anchor vault program, use this Skill to derive PDAs correctly, sign token transfers via invoke_signed, calculate rent-exempt balances, and set priority fees with proper compute budget instructions. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to explain how to derive a PDA and sign a token transfer from it using Anchor, or to look up the details of a specific SIMD proposal like SIMD-0096.
