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", or "explain Solana concepts" (rent, accounts, PDAs, CPIs, etc.). Also use for program architecture questions — "how should I structure my Anchor program", "design a state machine for my program", "reduce compute units", "why is my program a throughput bottleneck", "how should I name instructions and accounts". Also use for quick on-chain lookups via public RPC + curl — "what's the balance of <wallet>", "look up transaction <sig>", "token balance for <account>", "check this address on mainnet/devnet". End-to-end Solana development playbook covering wallet connection, Anchor/Pinocchio programs, Codama client generation, Surfpool/LiteSVM/Mollusk testing, security checklists, and JSON-RPC curl lookups against public clusters. Prefers @solana/kit v7 plugin clients (createClient + .use()), wallet connection via @solana/kit-plugin-wallet + @solana/react, web3.js v3 (Kit internals, RC) as the migration target for legacy codebases, and Surfpool for local networks and integration testing.
