# Core AI

Monorepo containing Helius developer tools distributed as independent packages:

- `helius-mcp/` — MCP server (npm: `helius-mcp`) — AI-assistant agnostic
- `helius-skills/` — Standalone Claude Code skill (installed via `install.sh`)
- `helius-plugin/` — Claude Code plugin (all-in-one: bundles skill + auto-starts MCP)
- `helius-cursor/` — Cursor plugin (all-in-one: bundles skill + auto-starts MCP)
- `helius-cli/` — CLI for account setup (npm: `helius-cli`)

## Compiler-managed sync

The compiler (`npx tsx scripts/compile-skills.ts`) is the source of truth for everything generated from `helius-skills/`. It writes:

1. `helius-skills/<skill>/SKILL.md` frontmatter version (re-injected from `versions.json`) and every `helius-mcp@<version>` mention in the body
2. `.agents/skills/<skill>/` — Codex-native SKILL.md + 3 prompt variants (`openai.developer.md`, `claude.system.md`, `full.md`)
3. `helius-mcp/system-prompts/<skill>/` — same prompt variants, npm-shipped
4. `helius-plugin/skills/<dir>/references/` and `helius-plugin/skills/<dir>/SKILL.md` (refs bytewise from canonical; SKILL.md gets version re-injected)
5. `helius-cursor/skills/<dir>/references/` and `helius-cursor/skills/<dir>/SKILL.md` (same)
6. `helius-plugin/.mcp.json` and `helius-cursor/.mcp.json` — generated from the `helius-mcp` pin in `versions.json`
7. `helius-skills/<skill>/references/*.md` and `helius-skills/<skill>/install.sh` — the `helius-mcp@<version>` token only
8. `helius-skills/<skill>/references/` copies of shared references — rendered from `helius-skills/shared/references/` for every skill that lists them in `sharedRefs` (see `SKILLS` in the compiler)
9. `.gitattributes` — the block between the `compile-skills` markers, marking every generated path `linguist-generated` so GitHub collapses it in PR diffs

Run `npx tsx scripts/compile-skills.ts` after any change in `helius-skills/`. CI runs `--check` mode and fails on drift.

**Shared references** (Sender, DAS, WebSockets, priority fees, Wallet API, onboarding, LaserStream, Enhanced Transactions) have one source in `helius-skills/shared/references/`. Edit them there, never in a skill's `references/` copy — those copies carry a "Generated from" header and `--check` fails if one is hand-edited. The compiler rewrites links between references to each skill's filenames, and turns a link to a reference the skill does not include into a link to the matching docs page (`SHARED_REF_DOCS`). A skill that needs its own version of a reference leaves it out of `sharedRefs` and owns the file, as `helius-phantom` does for its `@solana/kit` Sender and priority-fee references.

**Reference files** are byte-identical across all destinations — never hand-edit `helius-plugin/` or `helius-cursor/` references; edit the shared source, or for skill-specific references the canonical copy in `helius-skills/<skill>/references/`.

**SKILL.md bodies** in `helius-plugin/` and `helius-cursor/` are intentionally **not identical** to canonical (different MCP prerequisite messaging, condensed router surface section). They are hand-managed in those packages. Only the frontmatter version and the `helius-mcp@<version>` token are auto-synced from `versions.json`.

**`.mcp.json`** in `helius-plugin/` and `helius-cursor/` is fully compiler-generated and byte-identical across both — never hand-edit either file. Change the pin in `versions.json` and re-run the compiler.

## MCP Server Pin

`helius-plugin/.mcp.json` pins an **exact** `helius-mcp` version, never `@latest`. The Claude plugin marketplace pins this repo to a reviewed commit, so a floating tag would mean the server code actually executed on install sits outside that review — this is what got the plugin pulled from the official marketplace.

The pin is not only `.mcp.json`. The compiler re-stamps every `helius-mcp@<version>` mention in skill content — canonical SKILL.md bodies and `references/`, `install.sh`, the hand-managed plugin/cursor SKILL.md bodies, and all generated prompt variants — so the "add it manually" instructions a skill prints can never recommend a version the plugin does not ship. Write `@latest` anywhere in that surface and `--check` fails.

Deliberately **outside** the pin: repo-level docs (`README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `helius-skills/README.md`, `helius-skills/SYSTEM-PROMPTS.md`, `helius-mcp/README.md`) and the server's own runtime recovery strings in `helius-mcp/src/`. Those describe adding `helius-mcp` standalone, outside any pinned plugin, where tracking latest is the intended behavior. Only `helius-cli` keeps a floating tag inside skill content.

To advance the pin, in this order:

1. Publish `helius-mcp@X.Y.Z` to npm (bump `helius-mcp/package.json` → merge → tag `helius-mcp@X.Y.Z` → merge the changelog PR → publish the draft release).
2. **Then** update the `helius-mcp` key in `versions.json`, re-run the compiler, and merge.

Never pin a version that is not yet on npm — `main` would ship a config that breaks every install. `sync-check` blocks on an unpublished pin and warns (without failing) while the pin lags `helius-mcp/package.json`, which is the expected state during the publish→pin window.

The DFlow connector is deliberately **not** in the default config: an official marketplace listing requires third-party connectors to be in the Anthropic MCP connector directory. Do not re-add it to `.mcp.json` unless that listing lands.

## Skill Versioning

Skill versions are managed via `versions.json` at the repo root (single source of truth). To bump a version, edit `versions.json` and re-run the compiler. Versions follow semver.

## pnpm Version Pin

`helius-mcp` and `helius-cli` pin pnpm with `"packageManager": "pnpm@9.15.9"`, matching CI's `pnpm/action-setup` `version: 9`. Without a pin, Dependabot runs the newest pnpm it has (12 as of October 2026), which ignores the `pnpm.overrides` field in `package.json` and regenerates the lockfile without them, failing CI's frozen install. With the pin, Corepack and newer pnpm versions both switch to 9.15.9. Bump the pin and CI's `version` together.

## Router Surface Maintenance

The Helius MCP public surface is a coordinated contract: 10 public tools total, shared `action` routing, and summary-first responses with `expandResult`.

If you change the router surface, routed tool descriptions, action-routing guidance, or summary-first response behavior, update all of these in the same pass:

- `AGENTS.md`
- `README.md`
- `helius-mcp/README.md`
- `helius-plugin/README.md`
- `helius-cursor/README.md`
- canonical `helius-skills/*/SKILL.md`
- manual plugin/cursor `SKILL.md` copies
- generated `.agents/skills/` output
- generated `helius-mcp/system-prompts/` output

Do not leave router/runtime changes documented in only one layer.
