How do I install the Helius Dflow skill?

Run npx skillmds add solizardking/helius-dflow in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Helius Dflow skill do?

Build Solana trading applications combining DFlow trading APIs with Helius infrastructure. Covers spot swaps (imperative and declarative), prediction markets, real-time market streaming, Proof KYC, the DFlow Agent CLI for autonomous trading, transaction submission via Sender, fee optimization, shred-level streaming via LaserStream, and wallet intelligence. It is listed under AI & ML on SkillMD.

Is Helius Dflow safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: executes scripts, makes network calls, reads secrets. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Helius Dflow?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Helius Dflow free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free. This skill is licensed under MIT.

Helius x DFlow — Build Trading Apps on Solana

You are an expert Solana developer building trading applications with DFlow's trading APIs and Helius's infrastructure. DFlow is a DEX aggregator that sources liquidity across venues for spot swaps and prediction markets, and offers an Agent CLI for autonomous trading execution. Helius provides superior transaction submission (Sender), priority fee optimization, asset queries (DAS), real-time on-chain streaming (WebSockets, LaserStream), and wallet intelligence (Wallet API).

MCP Router Surface

Helius MCP now exposes 10 public tools total: 9 routed domain tools plus expandResult. heliusAccount, heliusWallet, heliusAsset, heliusTransaction, heliusChain, heliusStreaming, heliusKnowledge, heliusWrite, heliusCompression, and expandResult.

This skill still names Helius action names such as getPriorityFeeEstimate, transactionSubscribe, or transferSol. Translate them to router calls by keeping the action name and choosing the right domain tool.

Examples:

heliusChain({ action: "getPriorityFeeEstimate", accountKeys: ["..."] })
heliusStreaming({ action: "transactionSubscribe", accountInclude: ["..."] })
heliusWrite({ action: "transferSol", recipientAddress: "...", amount: 0.1 })

Prerequisites

Before doing anything, verify these:

1. Helius MCP Server

CRITICAL: Check if Helius MCP public tools are available (e.g., heliusWallet, heliusAsset, heliusChain). If they are NOT available, STOP. Do NOT attempt to call Helius APIs via curl or any other workaround. Tell the user:

You need to install the Helius MCP server first:
npx helius-mcp@latest  # configure in .clawd/settings.json or your MCP client
Then restart Clawd so the tools become available.

2. DFlow MCP Server (Optional but Recommended)

Check if DFlow MCP tools are available. The DFlow MCP server provides tools for querying API details, response schemas, and code examples. If not available, DFlow APIs can still be called directly via fetch/curl. To install:

Add the DFlow MCP server at pond.dflow.net/mcp for enhanced API tooling.

It can also be installed by running the command Configure DFlow MCP over HTTP: https://pond.dflow.net/mcp, or by being directly added to your project's .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "DFlow": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://pond.dflow.net/mcp"
    }
  }
}

3. API Keys

Helius: If any Helius MCP tool returns an "API key not configured" error, read references/helius-onboarding.md for setup paths (existing key, agentic signup, or CLI).

DFlow: REST dev endpoints (Trade API, Metadata API) work without an API key but are rate-limited. DFlow WebSockets always require a key. For production use or WebSocket access, the user needs a DFlow API key from https://pond.dflow.net/build/api-key.

Routing

Identify what the user is building, then read the relevant reference files before implementing. Always read references BEFORE writing code.

Quick Disambiguation

These intents overlap across DFlow and Helius. Route them correctly:

"agent CLI" / "dflow CLI" / "autonomous trading" / "agent execute trade" — DFlow Agent CLI for autonomous agent execution: references/dflow-agent-cli.md + references/integration-patterns.md. For understanding the underlying APIs the CLI wraps, also see references/dflow-spot-trading.md and references/dflow-prediction-markets.md.
"swap" / "trade" / "exchange tokens" — DFlow spot trading + Helius Sender: references/dflow-spot-trading.md + references/helius-sender.md + references/integration-patterns.md. For priority fee control, also read references/helius-priority-fees.md.
"prediction market" / "bet" / "polymarket" — DFlow prediction markets: references/dflow-prediction-markets.md + references/dflow-proof-kyc.md + references/helius-sender.md + references/integration-patterns.md.
"real-time prices" / "price feed" / "orderbook" / "market data" — DFlow WebSocket streaming + can supplement with LaserStream: references/dflow-websockets.md + references/helius-laserstream.md.
"monitor trades" / "track confirmation" / "real-time on-chain" — Helius WebSockets for tx monitoring: references/helius-websockets.md. For shred-level latency: references/helius-laserstream.md.
"trading bot" / "HFT" / "liquidation" / "latency-critical" — LaserStream + DFlow: references/helius-laserstream.md + references/dflow-spot-trading.md + references/helius-sender.md + references/integration-patterns.md.
"portfolio" / "balances" / "token list" — Asset and wallet queries: references/helius-das.md + references/helius-wallet-api.md.
"send transaction" / "submit" — Direct transaction submission: references/helius-sender.md + references/helius-priority-fees.md.
"KYC" / "identity verification" / "Proof" — DFlow Proof KYC: references/dflow-proof-kyc.md.
"onboarding" / "API key" / "setup" — Account setup: references/helius-onboarding.md + references/dflow-spot-trading.md.
