View or install /skill.md, a structured capability file that tells agents what they can do
with Light Protocol and ZK Compression. If you're building with agents, start here.
Install or view dedicated agent skills:
| Use case | Skill |
|---|---|
| Build rent-free Solana programs with Light SDK (Anchor or Pinocchio). Includes router integration. | light-sdk |
| Use Light Token client SDKs (TypeScript and Rust) for mints, ATAs, transfers | light-token-client |
| Stream account state via Laserstream gRPC | data-streaming |
| Wallets and payment flows with light-token. Includes privy, wallet adapter, mobile wallet adapter signing. Optional nullifier to prevent your onchain instruction from being executed more than once. | payments-and-wallets |
| Airdrops, DePIN, token distribution | token-distribution |
| Anti-double-spend nullifiers for Privacy-preserving ZK programs | zk-nullifier |
| Testing programs and clients on localnet, devnet, mainnet | testing |
| For per-user state, DePIN nodes, and infrequently accessed app state with compressed PDAs | solana-compression |
| Help with Debugging and Questions via DeepWiki MCP | ask-mcp |
View all skills here: https://github.com/Lightprotocol/skills.
All skills are included and are auto-discovered based on context. Ask about light-token, defi, payments, or program migration and the agent uses the relevant skill automatically.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard to connect AI apps to data sources and tools. The DeepWiki MCP server provides access to the Light Protocol repository with its search capabilities (AskDevin).

# /ask-deepwiki
Answer: $ARGUMENTS
Use DeepWiki MCP to provide precise technical answers.
## Step 1: Identify Repository Scope
1. **State understanding and plan**
2. **If question is vague, ask for clarification:**
- What specific component or feature?
- What problem are you solving?
- What level of detail needed (overview vs implementation)?
3. **Repository mapping:**
- ZK Compression/Light Protocol: `Lightprotocol/light-protocol`
- Solana fundamentals: `solana-labs/solana`
- Anchor framework: `solana-foundation/anchor`
- Complex questions: Query multiple repositories
4. **Refine question to use:**
- Exact component names: `CompressedAccountMeta` not "account metadata"
- Specific operations: "verifies proof" not "handles proof"
- Concrete function names or error messages when available
## Step 2: Query DeepWiki
For the identified repository, call in sequence:
1. `mcp__deepwiki__read_wiki_structure("repo-owner/repo-name")`
2. `mcp__deepwiki__read_wiki_contents("repo-owner/repo-name")`
3. `mcp__deepwiki__ask_question("repo-owner/repo-name", refined_question)`
Query multiple repositories if question spans different systems.
## Step 3: Format Response
**Structure:**
1. Direct answer with technical explanation
2. Specific implementations and data structures
3. Code examples with inline comments
4. Source references (`file:line` from DeepWiki)
5. Related concepts if relevant
**Language precision:**
NEVER use vague verbs:
- "handles", "manages", "processes", "enables", "provides"
ALWAYS use exact names:
- Functions: `LightAccount::new_init()`, `derive_address()`
- Types: `CompressedAccountMeta`, `ValidityProof`, `PackedAddressTreeInfo`
- Operations: "nullifies hash", "appends to state tree", "verifies proof"
- Fields: `tree_info`, `address`, `output_state_tree_index`
Include `file:line` references from DeepWiki responses.
## Notes
- Always include source file references from DeepWiki responses
- Provide runnable code examples for implementation questions
- Ask follow-up questions to DeepWiki for clarification when neededcodex mcp add zkcompression -- npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://www.zkcompression.com/mcp
