Solana Squads Upgrade

Solana Squads Upgrade is a skill for Claude Code from widnyana/eyay-toolkits. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,307 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for upgrading Solana programs through Squads, a service where several people approve shared transactions. It explains a GitHub Actions workflow that creates an upgrade proposal for review instead of upgrading the program directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure multisignature upgrades, create Squads proposals in CI, update related IDL or metadata, and troubleshoot proposal failures.
Why use it?
It provides a review step for program deployments, so one automated job does not have sole control over a production upgrade.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Solana Squads Upgrade scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Solana Squads Upgrade

Automate Solana program upgrades through Squads v4 multisig using the squads-program-action GitHub Action. Covers configuration, transaction building, and the full upgrade lifecycle from CI to on-chain execution.

When to Use

  • Setting up CI/CD for Solana program deployments with multisig governance
  • Creating GitHub Actions workflows that submit upgrade proposals to Squads
  • Configuring Anchor IDL or program-metadata updates alongside program upgrades
  • Debugging failed Squads upgrade proposals
  • Understanding the instruction flow: buffer -> multisig proposal -> approval -> execution

Architecture Overview

Creates a Squads vault transaction (multisig proposal), not a direct on-chain upgrade.

CI Pipeline
  -> squads-program-action creates vault transaction
  -> Transaction appears in Squads UI (https://v4.squads.so/)
  -> Team members review + approve
  -> Squads executes: program upgrade + optional IDL + optional PDA verification

Key constraint: the provided keypair only needs transaction creation permission (voter role). The actual upgrade authority comes from the Squads vault PDA.

Action Inputs Reference

Required

Input Description
rpc Solana RPC URL
program Program ID to upgrade
buffer Buffer account containing the new program bytecode
multisig Squads v4 multisig address
keypair Byte array of keypair with voter permission. Format: [23,42,53...]

Optional

Input Default Description
idl-buffer Anchor IDL buffer address
metadata-buffer program-metadata IDL buffer (alternative to idl-buffer)
pda-tx Base64 encoded PDA verification transaction
priority-fee 100000 Priority fee in lamports
vault-index 0 Squads vault index

Important: idl-buffer and metadata-buffer are mutually exclusive. Use idl-buffer for Anchor programs, metadata-buffer for non-Anchor programs or as a modern alternative.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
