## What it does

The skill covers both directions: `alice.skr` to a wallet address, and an address to the wallet's primary .skr name or the first one it owns. Resolution always runs against mainnet, even when the rest of the app targets devnet. These are AllDomains names, and Seeker users get one by default, which makes them a natural stand-in for a clipped address in a UI.

Inside are integration steps for the `@solana-mobile/skr-domain` package built on `@solana/kit`, plus the shape of two endpoints: `POST /api/resolve-domain` and `POST /api/resolve-address`. Before writing a server, the skill tells the agent to check what already exists — `express`, `fastify`, `hono`, `@nestjs/core`, `koa`, or a Next.js app with API routes — and to add routes there instead of scaffolding a second backend. Client-side resolution is fine for a prototype, but public RPC endpoints are rate-limited and will not survive a list view.

Reverse lookup needs `getProgramAccounts`, and plenty of providers disable or throttle that method. That is the main reason to proxy resolution through your own server in production. It also keeps the RPC key off the device: anything in `EXPO_PUBLIC_*` can be read straight out of the APK. React Native needs `react-native-quick-crypto` with `install()` called at startup, because Hermes lacks `crypto.subtle.digest`. The package is ESM-only, and NFT-wrapped names sit outside its scope.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add solana-mobile/solana-mobile-skills --skill seeker-domains -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/seeker-domains/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/seeker-domains/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add solana-mobile/solana-mobile-skills --skill seeker-domains -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/seeker-domains/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add solana-mobile/solana-mobile-skills --skill seeker-domains -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/seeker-domains/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install solana-mobile/solana-mobile-skills seeker-domains
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/seeker-domains/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add solana-mobile/solana-mobile-skills --skill seeker-domains -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/solana-mobile/solana-mobile-skills --path skills/seeker-domains
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/seeker-domains/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add solana-mobile/solana-mobile-skills --skill seeker-domains -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/solana-mobile/solana-mobile-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/seeker-domains/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- show a .skr name instead of a truncated address in a profile
- turn a typed .skr name into a wallet address
- fetch a wallet's primary domain for a friend list
- validate .skr input before spending RPC quota
- separate a 404 for an unregistered name from a 503 for a failed RPC

## Example prompts
- add .skr resolution to the profile screen so the name shows instead of the address
- build a POST /api/resolve-address endpoint with caching and negative caching
- check whether the project already has a backend and add the .skr routes there

description: Resolve and display .skr domain names in Solana mobile apps, in both directions between names and wallet addresses. Use when showing .skr names instead of wallet addresses in profiles, friend lists, or transaction history, resolving a .skr domain to an address, reverse-looking-up an address to a domain, or validating .skr input.

# .skr domain resolution

`.skr` domains are AllDomains names on Solana mainnet. Seeker users get one by default, which
makes them a good substitute for truncated addresses in a UI.

Two directions:

- **Forward** — `alice.skr` to a wallet address
- **Reverse** — a wallet address to a `.skr` name: its primary name, or else one it owns

Both live on **mainnet**, regardless of which cluster the rest of the app targets. An app on
devnet still resolves names against mainnet.

## Decide where resolution runs

Resolution reads public on-chain data, so a client can do it directly. Proxy it through a
backend when you want:

- **RPC key protection.** A key in `EXPO_PUBLIC_*` is readable by anyone with the APK. If you
  use a paid RPC, it has to be server-side.
- **Shared caching.** Names change rarely. One server-side cache beats every client
  re-resolving the same addresses.
- **Batch lookups.** Resolving a whole friend list in one request beats N round trips from a
  phone.
- **`getProgramAccounts` access.** Reverse lookup needs it, and plenty of providers disable or
  heavily rate-limit the method. One server-side endpoint against a provider you have checked
  beats discovering the restriction on user devices.

Direct client-side resolution against a public RPC is reasonable for a prototype or a
low-traffic app. Public endpoints are rate-limited, so it will not survive a list view that
resolves dozens of addresses.

Ask which the user wants if it is not obvious from the project. Default to the proxy for
anything heading to production.

## Integrating with an existing backend

**Check what exists before writing a new server.** Adding an Express app beside someone's
NestJS service is a mess to maintain.
