Most of the code in my Solana programs is written by an AI agent. That’s not a confession—it’s the premise. The interesting engineering question is no longer whether a model can write Rust for the SVM (it can), but what has to be true about your repository to let it do so safely. My answer has three layers: a hermetic environment where the human, the agent, and CI all run the same commands; a data layer the agent can’t quietly break; and machine-checked proofs over the logic it writes. This series walks through all three, using a small but complete event-ticketing program as the companion repository. Part 1 covers the unglamorous foundation: just, Docker, mise, and teaching the agent your stack.
