Arcium Encrypted Computation Skill
Guides Claude through building and debugging Arcium encrypted (MPC) apps on Solana across circuit, program and client layers.

What it does
- Walks the three coupled layers of an Arcium app: Arcis circuits (
#[encrypted],#[instruction]), Anchor programs (init → queue_computation → callback), and the TypeScript client (RescueCipher, x25519 key exchange). - Spells out the decision rules that break builds:
Enc<Shared, T>vsEnc<Mxe, T>, ArgBuilder call ordering, unique nonces, and ciphertext sizing (32 bytes per scalar). - Ships a 7-step debug triage order for stuck or wrong computations plus a pre-deploy verification checklist.
- Points Claude at the Arcium MCP tools (
search_arcium_docs,query_docs_filesystem_arcium_docs) for live API, CLI flag and version details.
Who it's for
- Solana developers shipping privacy features: dark pools, sealed-bid auctions, encrypted voting, hidden game state, confidential DeFi, threshold signing.
- Newcomers to Arcium wiring their first circuit and callback flow.
- Anyone repeatedly hitting MPC constraints (fixed-bound loops, both if/else branches executing, no Vec/String/HashMap).
Examples
- "Build a sealed-bid auction circuit" → generates circuit, program and test scaffolding from the bundled minimal example and pattern library.
- "My callback never fires and the computation hangs" → checks macro name matching, comp_def init, ArgBuilder order, then callback account writability.
- "Decryption returns garbage" → inspects nonce reuse, missing
.x25519_pubkey()for Shared params, and ciphertext size mismatches.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sendaifun/skills/HEAD/skills/arcium/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/arcium folder from the GitHub repo sendaifun/skills into my ~/.claude/skills/arcium/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/sendaifun/skills.git /tmp/sendai-skills && cp -r /tmp/sendai-skills/skills/arcium ~/.claude/skills/arcium⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/sendaifun/skills.git - Create the skills folder if needed:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill directory:
cp -r skills/skills/arcium ~/.claude/skills/arcium - Verify the bundled
examples/,references/andmcp.jsoncame along:ls ~/.claude/skills/arcium - To enable live docs lookups, add the bundled
mcp.jsonserver entry to your Claude Code MCP configuration. - Make sure the
arciumCLI, Anchor and Solana CLI are installed — the skill assumes them. - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "scaffold an Arcium circuit" to trigger the skill.
