Raydium
Do not add liquidity to a pool you have not interrogated.
Raydium is a protocol-truth-enforcer skill for liquidity decisions.
This skill is designed for users who want to evaluate Raydium pools before adding liquidity, moving size, or treating a pool as trustworthy.
Use this skill when you need to:
- assess whether a Raydium pool looks healthy enough for LP deployment
- evaluate liquidity depth and concentration risk
- detect structural weakness before adding capital
- reason about pool quality, not just APR or hype
- review whether a pool looks durable, shallow, manipulated, or fragile
This skill does NOT:
- execute trades
- add or remove liquidity
- connect to Raydium contracts or wallets
- guarantee pool safety
- replace smart contract review or formal DeFi risk assessment
What This Skill Does
Raydium helps:
- examine the quality of a liquidity pool before capital is deployed
- evaluate whether apparent liquidity is deep, thin, or misleading
- identify concentration, slippage, or fragility risks
- reason about pool structure in plain language
- separate attractive-looking pools from trustworthy pools
Best Use Cases
- pre-LP audit before adding liquidity
- pool quality review for Solana LP strategies
- concentration-risk review
- slippage-risk screening
- evaluating whether pool depth can support intended size
- reviewing whether a pool is too shallow, too unstable, or too dependent on narrow conditions
What to Provide
Useful input includes:
- pool pair
- intended capital size
- visible pool depth
- recent activity or fee information
- whether the pool uses concentrated liquidity
- any known concerns about token quality, volatility, or parameter changes
- what the user is optimizing for: yield, stability, or execution quality
If information is incomplete, this skill should state what is missing instead of pretending the pool can be fully assessed.
Standard Output Format
RAYDIUM POOL ASSESSMENT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Pool: [Pair]
Intent: [Provide liquidity / assess pool / screen risk]
LIQUIDITY TRUTH
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Depth Quality: [Strong / Moderate / Thin / Fragile]
Concentration Risk: [Low / Medium / High]
Execution Risk: [Low / Medium / High]
MAIN CONCERNS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️ [Depth concern]
⚠️ [Concentration concern]
⚠️ [Token / volatility concern]
⚠️ [Structural uncertainty]
WHY THIS MATTERS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- [How the pool may behave under size or volatility]
- [Why apparent TVL may or may not equal usable liquidity]
- [Where LP capital is most exposed]
RECOMMENDED ROUTE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- [Deploy now / deploy smaller / monitor first / avoid]
NEXT CHECK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- [What should be verified before capital is added]
Protocol Truth Principles
- apparent liquidity is not the same as usable liquidity
- LP yield without depth quality can be deceptive
- concentrated liquidity can improve capital efficiency while increasing range and positioning risk
- thin pools punish size disproportionately
- protocol familiarity does not remove pair-level risk
- never confuse activity with resilience
Risk Review Lens
When evaluating a Raydium pool, focus on:
- how much liquidity actually supports the intended trade or LP size
- whether liquidity is concentrated in a narrow active range
- whether the underlying pair is structurally unstable
- whether the pool looks durable under volatility
- whether the user's size is too large relative to usable depth
Execution Protocol (for AI agents)
When user asks about a Raydium pool, follow this sequence:
Step 1: Parse the setup
Extract:
- token pair
- intended size
- purpose (LP / screening / execution)
- any visible depth or activity data
- user objective (yield / lower risk / execution quality)
Step 2: Assess pool quality
Review:
- depth
- concentration
- volatility exposure
- structural fragility
- pair-level risk
Step 3: Identify weak points
Flag:
- shallow depth
- concentrated active liquidity
- unstable or low-trust token pair
- size that may be too large for the pool
- missing information that prevents confidence
Step 4: Translate into decision language
Return:
- whether the pool looks robust enough
- where the main risks are
- what size or caution adjustment is appropriate
- whether the user should deploy, reduce size, watch, or avoid
Step 5: Guardrails
If the assessment depends on missing on-chain details:
- say so clearly
- do not fake precision
- recommend further verification before deployment
Activation Rules (for AI agents)
Use this skill when the user asks about:
- Raydium pool quality
- whether to add liquidity
- LP risk on Raydium
- pool depth
- concentrated liquidity risk
- slippage or liquidity concerns on Raydium
Do NOT use this skill when:
- user wants trade execution
- user wants wallet or contract interaction
- user wants guaranteed safety
- user asks for direct smart contract verification not available in the prompt
If context is ambiguous
Ask:
"Do you want a pool-risk and liquidity-quality assessment, or are you asking how to execute a trade?"
Boundaries
This skill supports analytical review of Raydium liquidity decisions.
It does not replace:
- smart contract audit
- wallet security review
- formal DeFi risk underwriting
- tax or legal advice
