What is helius-labs/helius-skills?
Helius Skills is a set of standalone tools designed specifically for Claude Code users working on Solana. It supplies targeted functions for common tasks such as checking balances, parsing transactions, and handling compressed accounts through Helius infrastructure.
The skills operate by exposing domain-specific actions that Claude can call during coding sessions. Installation runs a simple script that registers the capabilities, after which they become available alongside other Claude Code features.
This package targets Solana developers and autonomous agents who need reliable blockchain tooling inside their AI coding environment without relying on broader MCP servers or CLI wrappers.
