Metaplex Skill

An Agent Skill for building on Metaplex — the standard infrastructure for NFTs and tokens on Solana.

What It Does

This skill gives your AI coding agent full knowledge of Metaplex programs, CLI commands, and SDK patterns. Instead of guessing at APIs or hallucinating flags, the agent reads the correct reference on demand and executes accurately.

Programs Covered

Program	What It Does	CLI	Umi SDK	Kit SDK
Agent Registry	On-chain agent identity, wallets, execution delegation	Yes	Yes	-
Genesis	Token launches (launchpool + bonding curve) + Raydium graduation	Yes	Yes	-
Core	Next-gen NFTs — single account, plugins, royalty enforcement	Yes	Yes	-
Token Metadata	Fungible tokens, NFTs, pNFTs, editions	Yes	Yes	Yes
Bubblegum	Compressed NFTs via Merkle trees — massive scale at minimal cost	Yes	Yes	-
Candy Machine	NFT drops with guards (allowlists, payments, limits)	Yes	Yes	-

Operations Supported

CLI (mplx) — direct execution, no code needed:

• Register agent identities, delegate/revoke execution, link Genesis tokens
• Launch tokens via bonding curve or launchpool (with optional agent mode)
• Create/update/burn NFTs, collections, fungible tokens
• Upload assets to Irys storage
• Configure and deploy Candy Machines with guards
• Create Merkle trees and mint compressed NFTs
• Transfer NFTs and tokens
• Check balances, airdrop SOL

Umi SDK — full programmatic access:

• Agent Registry: mint agents, register identity, delegate execution, set agent token
• Genesis Launch API: launchpool and bonding curve launches, agent integration, creator fees, first buy
• Bonding curve swap integration: fetch state, lifecycle helpers, quotes, slippage, execute swaps
• All CLI operations plus: fetch by owner/collection/creator, DAS API queries, delegates, lock/unlock, print editions, verify/unverify creators and collections, freeze/thaw, soulbound NFTs, plugin management

Kit SDK (@solana/kit) — minimal dependencies:

• Token Metadata operations: create/transfer NFTs, pNFTs, fungibles, PDAs

How It Works

The skill uses progressive disclosure — a lightweight router (SKILL.md, ~100 lines) directs the agent to the specific reference file it needs. Only relevant content is loaded:

SKILL.md                         Router — loaded when skill activates
  references/cli.md              Shared CLI setup (loaded for any CLI task)
  references/cli-core.md         Core CLI commands
  references/sdk-token-metadata.md  TM SDK patterns
  references/concepts.md         Account structures, PDAs
  ... (12 reference files total)
