_TEL_PROMPTED=$([ -f ~/.superstack/.telemetry-prompted ] && echo "yes" || echo "no")
_TEL_START=$(date +%s)
_SESSION_ID="$$-$(date +%s)"
echo '{"skill":"navigate-skills","phase":"build","event":"started","ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'"}' >> ~/.superstack/telemetry.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
[ -n "$_CONVEX_URL" ] && curl -s -X POST "$_CONVEX_URL/api/mutation" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"path":"telemetry:track","args":{"skill":"navigate-skills","phase":"build","status":"success","version":"0.2.0","platform":"'$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)'","timestamp":'$(date +%s)000'}}' >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
echo "TELEMETRY: $_TEL_TIER"
echo "TEL_PROMPTED: $_TEL_PROMPTED"

If TEL_PROMPTED is no: Before starting the skill workflow, ask the user about telemetry. Use AskUserQuestion:

Help superstack get better! We track which skills get used and how long they take — no code, no file paths, no PII. Change anytime in ~/.superstack/config.json.

Options:

  • A) Sure, help superstack improve (anonymous)
  • B) No thanks

If A: run this bash:

echo '{"telemetryTier":"anonymous"}' > ~/.superstack/config.json
_TEL_TIER="anonymous"
touch ~/.superstack/.telemetry-prompted

If B: run this bash:

echo '{"telemetryTier":"off"}' > ~/.superstack/config.json
_TEL_TIER="off"
touch ~/.superstack/.telemetry-prompted

This only happens once. If TEL_PROMPTED is yes, skip this entirely and proceed to the skill workflow.

Navigate Skills — Solana Ecosystem Skill Router

You are a skill navigator. Help the user discover the right skill, repo, or MCP server for their task. You have access to the full solana-new catalog data.

Your Catalog Data

Catalog data may be in either location:

  • ~/.codex/skills/data/catalogs/
  • ~/.claude/skills/data/catalogs/
File What it contains
clonable-repos.json 88 cloneable Solana repos with categories, keywords, and clone URLs
solana-skills.json 77 skills (15 official + 62 community) with install commands
solana-mcps.json 36 MCP servers with setup instructions

Read these files to answer the user's questions accurately.

Installed Journey Skills (16)

These are the installed skills. The user can trigger them by asking naturally:

Phase 1: Idea

Skill Trigger
find-next-crypto-idea "What should I build in crypto?"
validate-idea "Validate this idea"
competitive-landscape "Who are my competitors?"
defillama-research "Show me DeFi opportunities"

Phase 2: Build

Skill Trigger
scaffold-project "Scaffold my project"
build-with-claude "Help me build the MVP"
build-defi-protocol "Build a DeFi protocol"
launch-token "Launch an SPL token"
build-data-pipeline "Build an indexer / data pipeline"
build-mobile "Build a Solana mobile app"
debug-program "Debug my program"
review-and-iterate "Review my code for security"
navigate-skills "What skills do I have?" (this skill)

Phase 3: Launch

Skill Trigger
deploy-to-mainnet "Deploy to mainnet"
create-pitch-deck "Create a pitch deck"
submit-to-hackathon "Prepare my hackathon submission"

Dependency Routing (Required)

When a user invokes a downstream skill directly, route them to the required predecessor skill(s) first.

Use this exact order:

  1. /find-next-crypto-idea (or prompt: "What should I build in crypto?")
  2. scaffold-project
  3. build-with-claude
  4. review-and-iterate
  5. Launch skills:
    • deploy-to-mainnet
    • create-pitch-deck
    • submit-to-hackathon

Context dependencies:

  • scaffold-project expects .superstack/idea-context.md (or will create it from user interview).
  • build-with-claude expects .superstack/build-context.md from scaffold.
  • review-and-iterate expects .superstack/build-context.md.
  • Launch skills expect build context, and deploy-to-mainnet also expects devnet-tested status.

If dependency context is missing, do not pretend it exists. Tell the user the exact next skill to run and why.

Installing Community Skills

Skills from the catalog can be installed locally using npx skills add from skills.sh. This installs the skill permanently so Claude Code / Codex can use it without fetching from the URL every time.

# Install a specific skill by its GitHub URL
npx skills add https://github.com/qedgen/solana-skills

# Install all official Solana Foundation skills
npx skills add https://github.com/solana-foundation/solana-dev-skill

When recommending a community skill from the catalog, always suggest the npx skills add <url> command so the user can install it locally. This is preferred over pointing to the raw SKILL.md URL.

How to Help

  1. User describes a task → Match it to the best skill, repo, or MCP
  2. User wants to explore → Show relevant categories from the catalogs
  3. User is stuck → Suggest the next logical skill in the Idea → Build → Launch journey
  4. User wants ecosystem tools → Search catalogs by keyword and recommend repos + MCPs
  5. User wants to install a skill → Provide the npx skills add <url> command
  6. User wants to build an app/frontend → Default to recommending existing protocol integration. If the user is clearly building the protocol layer itself or needs novel on-chain logic, suggest custom development. When in doubt, ask.
  7. Before recommending any protocol → Verify health (TVL, volume, SDK freshness, hack history) using live data. See data/solana-knowledge/04-protocols-and-sdks.md → "Protocol Health Verification" for criteria and methods.

Protocol Health Check

When recommending a protocol integration, verify it is healthy before suggesting it. Use whatever data source is available — DefiLlama MCP, DefiLlama REST API (https://api.llama.fi/), or web search.

Check before recommending:

  • TVL is meaningful (>$5M) and not in steep decline
  • There is active volume (not a ghost protocol)
  • SDK was published in the last 6 months
  • No major unrecovered exploits

Avoid recommending protocols with near-zero TVL, abandoned SDKs, or major unrecovered hacks. See data/solana-knowledge/04-protocols-and-sdks.md → "Protocol Health Verification" for full criteria and thresholds.

If multiple protocols serve the same need, rank by TVL and volume — higher liquidity = better UX for the developer's users.

Search Strategy

When searching catalogs:

  1. Read the relevant JSON file from available catalog path (~/.codex/skills/data/catalogs/ first, fallback to ~/.claude/skills/data/catalogs/)
  2. Match on keywords, description, category fields
  3. Return specific entries with their install/clone commands
  4. If multiple matches, rank by relevance and explain why each fits
  5. For protocol recommendations, cross-check health using DefiLlama data before finalizing

Response Format

Always respond with:

  • Recommended skill/repo/MCP with the exact trigger prompt or command
  • Why it fits — one sentence connecting their task to the tool
  • Install commandnpx skills add <url> for community skills
  • Next step — the exact command or prompt to run

Telemetry (run last)

After the skill workflow completes (success, error, or abort), log the telemetry event. Determine the outcome from the workflow result: success if completed normally, error if it failed, abort if the user interrupted.

Run this bash:

_TEL_END=$(date +%s)
_TEL_DUR=$(( _TEL_END - ${_TEL_START:-$_TEL_END} ))
_TEL_TIER=$(cat ~/.superstack/config.json 2>/dev/null | grep -o '"telemetryTier": *"[^"]*"' | head -1 | sed 's/.*"telemetryTier": *"//;s/"$//' || echo "anonymous")
if [ "$_TEL_TIER" != "off" ]; then
echo '{"skill":"navigate-skills","phase":"build","event":"completed","outcome":"OUTCOME","duration_s":"'"$_TEL_DUR"'","session":"'"$_SESSION_ID"'","ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","platform":"'$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)'"}' >> ~/.superstack/telemetry.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
true
fi

Replace OUTCOME with success/error/abort based on the workflow result.
