Drift Protocol Skill

Drift Protocol Skill is a specialized skill from the SendAI skills repository that teaches coding agents how to interact with Drift Protocol, the leading perpetual futures platform on Solana. It provides your agent with knowledge of perpetual futures mechanics, position management, and the specific parameters and workflows needed to operate on Drift.

The skill covers essential Drift operations. For trading, it understands how to evaluate market conditions, set leverage levels, and construct orders for perpetual futures contracts. Position management knowledge includes monitoring open positions, adjusting margin, setting take-profit and stop-loss levels, and closing positions. The skill also covers Drift-specific concepts like funding rates, insurance fund mechanics, and liquidation thresholds — giving the agent context to assess risk when proposing trades.

Within a DeFi trading workflow, this skill acts as the Drift-specific expertise layer. You describe what you want to do in natural language — open a long on SOL-PERP with specific risk parameters, check your current funding rate exposure, or close a position. The agent uses its Drift knowledge to validate the request, check parameters against risk limits, and prepare the transaction for your review. This is particularly valuable for perpetual futures where understanding margin requirements and liquidation levels is critical to managing risk.
