# Solana Development Workflows This skill provides guidance on common patterns and workflows for interacting with Solana, helping users accomplish tasks efficiently and safely. ## Core Workflows ### Workflow 1: Query & Analyze **Purpose:** Understand blockchain state without making changes. **Steps:** 1. User asks about an account, balance, or transaction 2. Claude identifies the query type 3. Claude uses Account Explorer or Transaction Analyst agent 4. Results are explained in simple terms **Examples:** ``` "What's the balance of So1111...?" "Show me recent transactions for this address" "What does this transaction do?" "Who owns this account?" ``` **Cost:** Free (read-only operations) **Risk:** None (no state changes) **Network:** Works on any network (devnet, testnet, mainnet) ### Workflow 2: Simulate & Verify **Purpose:** Test a transaction without spending real money. **Steps:** 1. User requests a simulation: "Simulate sending 0.5 SOL to [address]" 2. Claude prepares the transaction 3. Claude sends it to Solana network in simulation mode 4. Network predicts the result without executing 5. Claude shows you what would happen **Examples:** ``` "Can you simulate this transfer before I execute?" "What would happen if I swapped 100 USDC?" "Will this token account creation work?" "Check if this transaction would succeed" ``` **Cost:** Free (no real funds spend) **Risk:** None (not executed) **Network:** Best on testnet/mainnet to match real conditions **Pro tip:** A
