  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by NousResearch on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Solana AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/optional-skills/blockchain/solana
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent.git /tmp/hermes-agent
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/hermes-agent/optional-skills/blockchain/solana .claude/skills/solana
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Solana in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Solana on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Solana is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Solana Blockchain Skill

Query Solana on-chain data enriched with USD pricing via CoinGecko. 8 commands: wallet portfolio, token info, transactions, activity, NFTs, whale detection, network stats, and price lookup.

No API key needed. Uses only Python standard library (urllib, json, argparse).


When to Use

  • User asks for a Solana wallet balance, token holdings, or portfolio value
  • User wants to inspect a specific transaction by signature
  • User wants SPL token metadata, price, supply, or top holders
  • User wants recent transaction history for an address
  • User wants NFTs owned by a wallet
  • User wants to find large SOL transfers (whale detection)
  • User wants Solana network health, TPS, epoch, or SOL price
  • User asks "what's the price of BONK/JUP/SOL?"

Prerequisites

The helper script uses only Python standard library (urllib, json, argparse). No external packages required.

Pricing data comes from CoinGecko's free API (no key needed, rate-limited to ~10-30 requests/minute). For faster lookups, use --no-prices flag.


Quick Reference

RPC endpoint (default): https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com Override: export SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://your-private-rpc.com

Helper script path: ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py

python solana_client.py wallet   <address> [--limit N] [--all] [--no-prices]
python solana_client.py tx       <signature>
python solana_client.py token    <mint_address>
python solana_client.py activity <address> [--limit N]
python solana_client.py nft      <address>
python solana_client.py whales   [--min-sol N]
python solana_client.py stats
python solana_client.py price    <mint_or_symbol>

Procedure

0. Setup Check

bash
python --version

# Optional: set a private RPC for better rate limits
export SOLANA_RPC_URL="https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"

# Confirm connectivity
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py stats

1. Wallet Portfolio

Get SOL balance, SPL token holdings with USD values, NFT count, and portfolio total. Tokens sorted by value, dust filtered, known tokens labeled by name (BONK, JUP, USDC, etc.).

bash
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
  wallet 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM

Flags:

  • --limit N — show top N tokens (default: 20)
  • --all — show all tokens, no dust filter, no limit
  • --no-prices — skip CoinGecko price lookups (faster, RPC-only)

Output includes: SOL balance + USD value, token list with prices sorted by value, dust count, NFT summary, total portfolio value in USD.

2. Transaction Details

Inspect a full transaction by its base58 signature. Shows balance changes in both SOL and USD.

bash
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
  tx 5j7s8K...your_signature_here

Output: slot, timestamp, fee, status, balance changes (SOL + USD), program invocations.

3. Token Info

Get SPL token metadata, current price, market cap, supply, decimals, mint/freeze authorities, and top 5 holders.

bash
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
  token DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263

Output: name, symbol, decimals, supply, price, market cap, top 5 holders with percentages.

4. Recent Activity

List recent transactions for an address (default: last 10, max: 25).

bash
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
  activity 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM --limit 25

5. NFT Portfolio

List NFTs owned by a wallet (heuristic: SPL tokens with amount=1, decimals=0).

bash
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
  nft 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM

Note: Compressed NFTs (cNFTs) are not detected by this heuristic.

6. Whale Detector

Scan the most recent block for large SOL transfers with USD values.

bash
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
  whales --min-sol 500

Note: scans the latest block only — point-in-time snapshot, not historical.

7. Network Stats

Live Solana network health: current slot, epoch, TPS, supply, validator version, SOL price, and market cap.

bash
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py stats

8. Price Lookup

Quick price check for any token by mint address or known symbol.

bash
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price BONK
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price JUP
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price SOL
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263

Known symbols: SOL, USDC, USDT, BONK, JUP, WETH, JTO, mSOL, stSOL, PYTH, HNT, RNDR, WEN, W, TNSR, DRIFT, bSOL, JLP, WIF, MEW, BOME, PENGU.


Pitfalls

  • CoinGecko rate-limits — free tier allows ~10-30 requests/minute. Price lookups use 1 request per token. Wallets with many tokens may not get prices for all of them. Use --no-prices for speed.
  • Public RPC rate-limits — Solana mainnet public RPC limits requests. For production use, set SOLANA_RPC_URL to a private endpoint (Helius, QuickNode, Triton).
  • NFT detection is heuristic — amount=1 + decimals=0. Compressed NFTs (cNFTs) and Token-2022 NFTs won't appear.
  • Whale detector scans latest block only — not historical. Results vary by the moment you query.
  • Transaction history — public RPC keeps ~2 days. Older transactions may not be available.
  • Token names — ~25 well-known tokens are labeled by name. Others show abbreviated mint addresses. Use the token command for full info.
  • Retry on 429 — both RPC and CoinGecko calls retry up to 2 times with exponential backoff on rate-limit errors.

Verification

bash
# Should print current Solana slot, TPS, and SOL price
python ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py stats

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Solana AI skill do?

Query Solana wallets, tokens, txs, and NFTs in USD.

Why use Solana on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Solana is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Solana in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/tree/main/optional-skills/blockchain/solana. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Solana?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Solana?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Solana with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Solana AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by NousResearch under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
