solana-dev
Use when user asks to "build a Solana dapp", "write an Anchor program", "create a token", "debug Solana errors", "set up wallet connection", "test my Solana program", "fuzz my Solana program", "deploy to devnet", "send a v1 transaction", "support larger transactions", "fix maxSupportedTransactionVersion", or "explain Solana concepts" (rent, accounts, PDAs, CPIs). Also for program architecture (state layout, compute units, throughput, naming), quick on-chain lookups via public RPC + curl, gasless or sponsored-fee transactions (Kora), server-side signing with KMS/Turnkey/Privy/Fireblocks (Solana Keychain), and issuing stablecoins or allowlisted tokens (Mosaic). Covers wallets, Anchor/Pinocchio, Codama clients, Surfpool/LiteSVM/Mollusk testing, security review, and v1 transactions (SIMD-0385). Prefers @solana/kit 8 plugin clients building transaction v1 by default, @solana/kit-plugin-wallet + @solana/react for wallets, web3.js v3 as the legacy migration target, and Surfpool for local networks.
