Every Solana AI skill out there teaches you how to build. None of them teach you how to get funded.
This skill fixes that. Add it to Claude Code and your agent becomes an expert Solana fundraising advisor — covering the full journey from "what should I build to get funded" all the way to "I got funded, now how do I deliver."
Covers Solana Foundation, Superteam Earn, and Colosseum.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aruck-commits/solana-fundraise-skill/main/install.sh | bashCustom install (choose location, options):
git clone https://github.com/aruck-commits/solana-fundraise-skill.git
cd solana-fundraise-skill
bash install-custom.shOnce installed, ask Claude Code things like:
- "Which grant should I apply to first?"
- "Show me a complete sample grant application"
- "Run a grant readiness check on my project"
- "Build my milestone plan for a Foundation grant"
- "Review my draft application before I submit"
- "I got rejected — what do I do now?"
- "Build me a multi-program funding strategy"
- "How do I reach out to the Superteam India lead?"
- "What kinds of projects actually get funded?"
The Solana AI Kit has deep technical skills — build, deploy, audit, ship. But when a founder asks their coding agent "how do I fund this?" the answer falls apart. No skill in the ecosystem covers grant strategy, application writing, positioning, social proof, rejection handling, or post-funding delivery.
This skill covers the full fundraising layer, end to end.
See TESTING.md for 8 documented test cases, real outputs from early versions, issues found, and specific fixes applied. The skill that shipped is meaningfully different from the first version we built.
