What it does

Squads is an agent skill from internet-court/internet-court-skill. Complete guide for Squads Protocol - Solana's leading smart account and multisig infrastructure. Covers Squads V4 Multisig for team treasury management, Smart Account Program for account abstraction and programmable wallets, and Grid for stablecoin rails and fintech infrastructure.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 24 other files (for example `docs/troubleshooting.md`, `examples/grid/api-quickstart.ts` and `examples/grid/payments.ts`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Crypto and DeFi analysis, Backend development and Banking and insurance. It works with Solana. The repository describes itself as: The trust layer for agent-to-agent commerce — natural-language mandates, ERC-7710 delegated permissions, x402 payments, escrow, and dispute resolution as one open, catch-all… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Crypto and DeFi analysis
  • Tasks that involve Backend development
  • Tasks that involve Banking and insurance

Example prompts

  • “/squads”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Never share private keys - Use environment variables for sensitive data
  2. Verify program IDs - Always confirm you're interacting with official programs
  3. Use time locks - For high-value treasuries, add time locks for additional security
  4. Limit permissions - Give members only the permissions they need
  5. Test on devnet - Always test transactions on devnet before mainnet

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fa89195. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (TypeScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • cargo

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • developer-api.squads.so
    • api.mainnet-beta.solana.com

    Also links to:

    • github.com
    • docs.squads.so
    • v4-sdk-typedoc.vercel.app
    • developers.squads.so

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Squads loads about 5.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 649 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Quick Start

Installation
bash
# Squads V4 Multisig SDK
npm install @sqds/multisig @solana/web3.js

# Grid SDK
npm install @sqds/grid

# Grid React Native SDK
npm install @sqds/grid-react-native
Basic Setup
typescript
import * as multisig from "@sqds/multisig";
import { Connection, Keypair, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";

// Setup connection
const connection = new Connection("https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com", "confirmed");

// Load wallet
const wallet = Keypair.fromSecretKey(/* your secret key */);

// Program ID constant
const SQUADS_PROGRAM_ID = new PublicKey("SQDS4ep65T869zMMBKyuUq6aD6EgTu8psMjkvj52pCf");

Squads V4 Multisig

Squads V4 is the latest version of the multisig protocol, featuring enhanced security, time locks, spending limits, and batch transactions.

Core Concepts

Multisig Account: The main account that holds configuration (members, threshold, time lock settings).

Vault: A PDA controlled by the multisig where assets are stored. Each multisig can have multiple vaults (indexed 0, 1, 2...).

Proposal: A request to execute a transaction that requires approval from multisig members.

Transaction: The actual instruction(s) to be executed once a proposal is approved.

Permission System

Members can have different permissions:

typescript
import { Permission, Permissions } from "@sqds/multisig/lib/types";

// All permissions (can initiate, vote, and execute)
const fullPermissions = Permissions.all();

// Specific permissions
const voteOnly = Permissions.fromPermissions([Permission.Vote]);
const initiateAndVote = Permissions.fromPermissions([Permission.Initiate, Permission.Vote]);
const executeOnly = Permissions.fromPermissions([Permission.Execute]);
PermissionDescription
InitiateCan create new proposals
VoteCan approve or reject proposals
ExecuteCan execute approved proposals
Creating a Multisig
typescript
import * as multisig from "@sqds/multisig";

const { Permissions } = multisig.types;

// Generate a unique create key (one-time use)
const createKey = Keypair.generate();

// Derive the multisig PDA
const [multisigPda] = multisig.getMultisigPda({
  createKey: createKey.publicKey,
});

// Create a 2-of-3 multisig
const signature = await multisig.rpc.multisigCreateV2({
  connection,
  createKey,
  creator: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  configAuthority: null, // Immutable config
  threshold: 2,
  members: [
    { key: member1.publicKey, permissions: Permissions.all() },
    { key: member2.publicKey, permissions: Permissions.all() },
    { key: member3.publicKey, permissions: Permissions.fromPermissions([Permission.Vote]) },
  ],
  timeLock: 0, // No time lock (in seconds)
  rentCollector: null,
});

console.log("Multisig created:", multisigPda.toString());
console.log("Transaction:", signature);
Vault Operations

Vaults are PDAs that hold the multisig's assets:

typescript
// Derive vault PDA (index 0 is the default vault)
const [vaultPda] = multisig.getVaultPda({
  multisigPda,
  index: 0,
});

console.log("Vault address:", vaultPda.toString());

// Check vault balance
const balance = await connection.getBalance(vaultPda);
console.log("Vault balance:", balance / 1e9, "SOL");

Important: Always send funds to the vault PDA, not the multisig account itself.

Creating a Vault Transaction
typescript
import { SystemProgram, LAMPORTS_PER_SOL } from "@solana/web3.js";

// Get current transaction index
const multisigAccount = await multisig.accounts.Multisig.fromAccountAddress(
  connection,
  multisigPda
);
const transactionIndex = BigInt(Number(multisigAccount.transactionIndex) + 1);

// Derive transaction PDA
const [transactionPda] = multisig.getTransactionPda({
  multisigPda,
  index: transactionIndex,
});

// Create a transfer instruction
const transferIx = SystemProgram.transfer({
  fromPubkey: vaultPda,
  toPubkey: recipientPubkey,
  lamports: 0.1 * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL,
});

// Create the vault transaction
const signature = await multisig.rpc.vaultTransactionCreate({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  creator: wallet.publicKey,
  vaultIndex: 0,
  ephemeralSigners: 0,
  transactionMessage: new TransactionMessage({
    payerKey: vaultPda,
    recentBlockhash: (await connection.getLatestBlockhash()).blockhash,
    instructions: [transferIx],
  }),
});

console.log("Vault transaction created:", transactionPda.toString());
Creating and Managing Proposals
typescript
// Derive proposal PDA
const [proposalPda] = multisig.getProposalPda({
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
});

// Create proposal for the transaction
const createProposalSig = await multisig.rpc.proposalCreate({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  creator: wallet,
});

console.log("Proposal created:", proposalPda.toString());
Voting on Proposals
typescript
// Approve the proposal
const approveSig = await multisig.rpc.proposalApprove({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  member: wallet,
});

console.log("Proposal approved");

// Or reject the proposal
const rejectSig = await multisig.rpc.proposalReject({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  member: wallet,
  memo: "Reason for rejection",
});
Executing Approved Transactions
typescript
// Check if proposal is approved and ready
const proposal = await multisig.accounts.Proposal.fromAccountAddress(
  connection,
  proposalPda
);

if (proposal.status.__kind === "Approved") {
  // Execute the vault transaction
  const executeSig = await multisig.rpc.vaultTransactionExecute({
    connection,
    feePayer: wallet,
    multisigPda,
    transactionIndex,
    member: wallet.publicKey,
  });

  console.log("Transaction executed:", executeSig);
}
Spending Limits

Spending limits allow members to execute transactions up to a certain amount without full multisig approval:

typescript
// Create a spending limit
const createSpendingLimitSig = await multisig.rpc.configTransactionCreate({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  creator: wallet.publicKey,
  actions: [{
    __kind: "AddSpendingLimit",
    createKey: spendingLimitCreateKey.publicKey,
    vaultIndex: 0,
    mint: SOL_MINT, // or token mint
    amount: BigInt(1 * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL), // 1 SOL
    period: multisig.types.Period.Day,
    members: [trustedMember.publicKey],
    destinations: [allowedDestination],
  }],
});

// Use spending limit (no proposal needed)
const useSpendingLimitSig = await multisig.rpc.spendingLimitUse({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  member: trustedMember,
  spendingLimit: spendingLimitPda,
  mint: SOL_MINT,
  vaultIndex: 0,
  amount: BigInt(0.5 * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL),
  decimals: 9,
  destination: allowedDestination,
});
Batch Transactions

Execute multiple transactions atomically:

typescript
// Create a batch
const [batchPda] = multisig.getBatchPda({
  multisigPda,
  batchIndex: transactionIndex,
});

const createBatchSig = await multisig.rpc.batchCreate({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  batchIndex: transactionIndex,
  creator: wallet,
  vaultIndex: 0,
});

// Add transactions to the batch
await multisig.rpc.batchAddTransaction({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  batchIndex: transactionIndex,
  transactionIndex: 1,
  vaultIndex: 0,
  transactionMessage: /* first transaction */,
});

await multisig.rpc.batchAddTransaction({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  batchIndex: transactionIndex,
  transactionIndex: 2,
  vaultIndex: 0,
  transactionMessage: /* second transaction */,
});

// Create proposal and execute as usual
Config Transactions

Modify multisig settings (requires proposal approval):

typescript
// Add a new member
const addMemberSig = await multisig.rpc.configTransactionCreate({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  creator: wallet.publicKey,
  actions: [{
    __kind: "AddMember",
    newMember: {
      key: newMemberPubkey,
      permissions: Permissions.all(),
    },
  }],
});

// Change threshold
const changeThresholdSig = await multisig.rpc.configTransactionCreate({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  creator: wallet.publicKey,
  actions: [{
    __kind: "ChangeThreshold",
    newThreshold: 3,
  }],
});

// Remove a member
const removeMemberSig = await multisig.rpc.configTransactionCreate({
  connection,
  feePayer: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
  creator: wallet.publicKey,
  actions: [{
    __kind: "RemoveMember",
    oldMember: memberToRemove,
  }],
});
Time Locks

Add a delay before approved transactions can execute:

typescript
// Create multisig with time lock (1 day = 86400 seconds)
const signature = await multisig.rpc.multisigCreateV2({
  connection,
  createKey,
  creator: wallet,
  multisigPda,
  configAuthority: null,
  threshold: 2,
  members: [...],
  timeLock: 86400, // 1 day in seconds
  rentCollector: null,
});
PDA Derivation Reference
typescript
import * as multisig from "@sqds/multisig";

// Multisig PDA
const [multisigPda] = multisig.getMultisigPda({
  createKey: createKeyPubkey,
});

// Vault PDA
const [vaultPda] = multisig.getVaultPda({
  multisigPda,
  index: 0, // vault index
});

// Transaction PDA
const [transactionPda] = multisig.getTransactionPda({
  multisigPda,
  index: transactionIndex,
});

// Proposal PDA
const [proposalPda] = multisig.getProposalPda({
  multisigPda,
  transactionIndex,
});

// Batch PDA
const [batchPda] = multisig.getBatchPda({
  multisigPda,
  batchIndex,
});

// Spending Limit PDA
const [spendingLimitPda] = multisig.getSpendingLimitPda({
  multisigPda,
  createKey: spendingLimitCreateKey,
});

// Program Config PDA
const [programConfigPda] = multisig.getProgramConfigPda({});

// Ephemeral Signer PDA (for CPI calls)
const [ephemeralSignerPda] = multisig.getEphemeralSignerPda({
  transactionPda,
  ephemeralSignerIndex: 0,
});

Smart Account Program

The Smart Account Program provides account abstraction features for Solana, enabling programmable wallets with session keys, passkeys, and policy-based execution.

Core Concepts

Smart Account: A programmable wallet controlled by policies rather than just private keys.

Session Key: Temporary keys with limited permissions for specific operations.

Passkey: WebAuthn/FIDO2 authentication using biometrics or hardware keys.

Policy: Rules that govern what transactions can be executed.

Best Practices

Security
  1. Never share private keys - Use environment variables for sensitive data
  2. Verify program IDs - Always confirm you're interacting with official programs
  3. Use time locks - For high-value treasuries, add time locks for additional security
  4. Limit permissions - Give members only the permissions they need
  5. Test on devnet - Always test transactions on devnet before mainnet
Transaction Optimization
  1. Use Address Lookup Tables - Reduce transaction size for complex operations
  2. Batch transactions - Group related operations when possible
  3. Set appropriate compute budget - Avoid transaction failures due to compute limits
typescript
import { ComputeBudgetProgram } from "@solana/web3.js";

// Add compute budget instruction
const computeBudgetIx = ComputeBudgetProgram.setComputeUnitLimit({
  units: 400_000,
});

// Add priority fee for faster inclusion
const priorityFeeIx = ComputeBudgetProgram.setComputeUnitPrice({
  microLamports: 10_000,
});
Error Handling
typescript
try {
  const signature = await multisig.rpc.proposalCreate({
    connection,
    feePayer: wallet,
    multisigPda,
    transactionIndex,
    creator: wallet,
  });
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message.includes("NotAMember")) {
    console.error("Wallet is not a member of this multisig");
  } else if (error.message.includes("Unauthorized")) {
    console.error("Wallet does not have required permissions");
  } else if (error.message.includes("InvalidTransactionIndex")) {
    console.error("Transaction index already used");
  } else {
    throw error;
  }
}
Fetching Account State
typescript
// Get multisig account
const multisigAccount = await multisig.accounts.Multisig.fromAccountAddress(
  connection,
  multisigPda
);

console.log("Threshold:", multisigAccount.threshold);
console.log("Members:", multisigAccount.members);
console.log("Transaction Index:", multisigAccount.transactionIndex.toString());

// Get proposal status
const proposal = await multisig.accounts.Proposal.fromAccountAddress(
  connection,

Common Patterns

Program Upgrade Multisig

Secure program upgrade authority with a multisig:

typescript
// Transfer upgrade authority to multisig vault
const transferAuthIx = createSetAuthorityInstruction(
  programDataAddress,
  currentAuthority,
  AuthorityType.UpgradeAuthority,
  vaultPda
);

// Execute via multisig proposal
// Now program upgrades require multisig approval
Treasury Management
typescript
// Create multiple vaults for different purposes
const [operationsVault] = multisig.getVaultPda({ multisigPda, index: 0 });
const [reserveVault] = multisig.getVaultPda({ multisigPda, index: 1 });
const [grantVault] = multisig.getVaultPda({ multisigPda, index: 2 });

// Set spending limits for operations vault
// Reserve vault requires full multisig approval
Validator Operations
typescript
// Manage validator identity and vote account with multisig
// Transfer validator identity to vault
// Set up spending limits for operational costs
