## What it does

The skill teaches an agent to use the `sol` CLI the way you would describe a trade out loud: pay someone, buy a token, stake your SOL. It covers wallets, transfers, swaps, staking, lending, yield vaults, DCA and limit orders. Swaps query Jupiter and DFlow in parallel and take the better price.

Wallets are local key files under `~/.sol/wallets/`, so no private keys in environment variables. You need Node.js >= 20. The public RPC endpoint rate-limits hard, so anything past testing wants a dedicated endpoint — Helius, Triton or QuickNode. Setup starts with `npx @solana-compass/cli@latest config set rpc.url ...`.

DCA has firm limits: $100 total minimum, at least 2 orders, $50 per order. Intervals run from minute to month. Lending compares rates across Kamino, MarginFi, Drift, Jupiter Lend and Loopscale and picks the best one, or you can pin a protocol with `--protocol`. Every swap records the execution price, which is what makes cost basis and P&L possible later.

```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add solanaguide/solana-cli --skill solana-payments-wallets-trading -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/solanaguide/solana-cli/tree/HEAD/skills/solana-payments-wallets-trading/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- send SOL or USDC to an address in one command
- compare lending rates and deposit stablecoins at the best one
- schedule a recurring SOL buy without placing trades by hand
- place a limit order at a target token price
- check wallet balances with USD values

## Example prompts
- send 50 USDC to GkX...abc
- show me what's trending on Solana right now
- set up a DCA: buy SOL with 500 USDC every day, 10 times

# Payments, Wallets and Trading on Solana

Sol is a command-line tool that lets you work with Solana the way you'd
describe it out loud. Instead of constructing transactions and managing
program instructions, you say what you want: pay someone, buy a token,
stake your SOL.

Keys live locally on disk — no private keys in environment variables,
no API keys to configure.

## Get Set Up

Prefer `npx` with `@latest` — it always runs the latest version with no
global install to manage:

```bash
npx @solana-compass/cli@latest config set rpc.url https://your-rpc-endpoint.com
npx @solana-compass/cli@latest wallet create --name my-wallet
```

If the user has installed globally (`npm install -g @solana-compass/cli`),
you can use the shorter `sol` command instead:

```bash
sol config set rpc.url https://your-rpc-endpoint.com
sol wallet create --name my-wallet
```

The public RPC endpoint rate-limits aggressively. Use a dedicated RPC
for anything beyond testing — Helius, Triton, and QuickNode all offer
free tiers.

Requires Node.js >= 20.

## Pay Someone

Send SOL, USDC, or any Solana token to a wallet address.

```bash
sol token send 50 usdc GkX...abc
sol token send 2 sol 7nY...xyz
sol token send 1000 bonk AgE...def --yes
```

See references/trading-commands.md for the full send reference.

## Discover Tokens

Browse the Solana token ecosystem — trending, most traded, recently
launched, and more.

```bash
sol token browse trending                    # what's hot right now
sol token browse top-traded --interval 24h   # highest volume over 24h
