Solana Anchor Claude Skill

A Claude Code skill for creating and editing Solana Anchor projects with best practices and conventions.

Note

Looking for a Claude RULES file (CLAUDE.md) for Solana? You're in the right place. We've updated this repo to use the newer Claude Code skills format, which provides better integration and automatic application of guidelines.

What are Claude Skills?

Claude Code supports "skills" - reusable instruction sets that Claude automatically applies when working on your code. Skills are stored in .claude/skills/ directories and can be invoked manually or triggered automatically based on context.

This repo includes a Claude skill that teaches Claude the specific patterns and best practices for Solana/Anchor development, including proper variable naming, avoiding magic numbers, using modern Anchor 0.32.1 syntax, and following Solana-specific conventions.

Installation

npx skills add https://github.com/quiknode-labs/solana-anchor-claude-skill

This automatically installs the skill to your Claude Code skills directory (~/.claude/skills/).

Usage

Once installed, the skill automatically applies when Claude Code works on Solana/Anchor projects. You can also manually invoke it with:
