Solana Anchor Skill

Use this skill for Anchor program scaffolding, CLI setup recovery, account/PDA design, and production-grade test generation.

What This Skill Is For

Initialize new Anchor projects after checking the host has a working CLI.
Recover missing Anchor CLI installations through transparent AVM-based steps.
Design and review Anchor accounts, instructions, constraints, and PDA flows.
Detect an existing Anchor project's test setup before generating tests.
Generate runnable .ts or .rs tests that match the detected framework.
Wire local validator tests by default, with Surfpool as an opt-in path for external mainnet state.

Operating Procedure

Inspect the target repo before deciding what to generate.
For new projects, read scaffolding.md and cli-installation.md.
For program design, account sizing, or PDA work, read program-patterns.md.
For tests, read testing-anchor.md, then load either typescript-tests.md or rust-tests.md based on the detected harness.
Finish test-generation tasks with a coverage-gap report.

Default Decisions

Do not assume Anchor's default TypeScript harness. Detect what the project already uses.
Prefer anchor test against a local validator unless the program depends on external state that cannot be mocked locally.
Use Surfpool only when live/forked accounts are necessary, such as oracle or protocol accounts.
Keep generated tests runnable and idiomatic for the existing project.
Ask before running install commands that download dependencies or alter the host toolchain.

Delivery Expectations

Name the detected Anchor version, test harness, and validator mode when relevant.
Keep changes consistent with the project's existing account derivation, helper, and assertion style.
Generate real test files, not pseudocode or TODO-only skeletons.
Explain any generated test that cannot be made fully runnable without external state, fixtures, or missing IDL details.
Report which instructions, constraints, PDA assertions, numeric boundaries, and authority checks were covered.
