1. Closing a Light Token account transfers remaining lamports to a destination account and the rent sponsor can reclaim sponsored rent.
2. Light token accounts can be closed by the owner.

<Info>
  The <Tooltip tip="The `compression_authority` is a PDA of the Light Registry program. It claims rent for the rent sponsor from compressible accounts that are compressed and closed.">`compression_authority`</Tooltip>
  closes the account and preserves the balance as compressed token account when the account becomes <Tooltip tip="An account is compressible when it has rent for less than 1 epoch (360 lamports for a 260-byte Light Token account).">compressible</Tooltip>.
  The account is loaded in flight with the same state the next time it is accessed.

                    - SPL to Light reference: https://zkcompression.com/api-reference/solana-to-light-comparison
                    - Crates: light-token-client (actions), light-token (instructions), light-client (RPC)

                    SPL equivalent: spl_token::instruction::close_account → Light Token: CloseAccount

                    ### 1. Index project
                    - Grep \`light_token::|light_token_client::|solana_sdk|Keypair|async|CloseAccount|close_account\` across src/
                    - Glob \`**/*.rs\` for project structure
                    - Identify: RPC setup, existing token ops, entry point for close account
                    - Check Cargo.toml for existing light-* dependencies and solana-sdk version
                    - Task subagent (Grep/Read/WebFetch) if project has multiple crates to scan in parallel

                    ### 2. Read references
                    - WebFetch the guide above — follow the Rust Client tab
                    - WebFetch skill.md — check for a dedicated skill and resources matching this task
                    - TaskCreate one todo per phase below to track progress

                    ### 3. Clarify intention
                    - AskUserQuestion: what is the goal? (new feature, migrate existing SPL code, add alongside existing)
                    - AskUserQuestion: does the project already have close operations to extend, or is this greenfield?
                    - AskUserQuestion: action-level API (high-level, fewer lines) or instruction-level API (low-level, full control)?
                    - Summarize findings and wait for user confirmation before implementing

                    ### 4. Create plan
                    - Based on steps 1–3, draft an implementation plan: which files to modify, what code to add, dependency changes
                    - Verify existing Rpc/signer setup is compatible with the cookbook prerequisites (light_client::rpc::Rpc, solana_sdk::signature::Keypair)
                    - If anything is unclear or ambiguous, loop back to step 3 (AskUserQuestion)
                    - Present the plan to the user for approval before proceeding

                    ### 5. Implement
                    - Add deps if missing: Bash \`cargo add light-token-client light-token light-client --features light-client/v2\`
                    - Follow the cookbook guide and the approved plan
                    - Write/Edit to create or modify files
                    - TaskUpdate to mark each step done

                    ### 6. Verify
                    - Bash \`cargo check\`
                    - Bash \`cargo test\` if tests exist
                    - TaskUpdate to mark complete

            ### Build Account Infos and CPI the Light Token Program

            Use `invoke` for external signers or `invoke_signed` when the authority is a PDA.

                    ## Add close-account CPI to an Anchor program

                    Context:
                    - Guide: https://zkcompression.com/light-token/cookbook/close-token-account
                    - Skills and resources index: https://zkcompression.com/skill.md
                    - SPL to Light reference: https://zkcompression.com/api-reference/solana-to-light-comparison
                    - Crate: light-token (CloseAccountCpi)
                    - Example: https://github.com/Lightprotocol/examples-light-token/tree/main/programs/anchor/basic-instructions/close

                    Key CPI struct: \`light_token::instruction::CloseAccountCpi\`

                    ### 1. Index project
                    - Grep \`declare_id|#\[program\]|anchor_lang|Account<|Pubkey|invoke|close|destination|rent\` across src/
                    - Glob \`**/*.rs\` and \`**/Cargo.toml\` for project structure
                    - Identify: program ID, existing instructions, account structs, token accounts
                    - Read Cargo.toml — note existing dependencies and framework version
                    - Task subagent (Grep/Read/WebFetch) if project has multiple crates to scan in parallel

                    ### 2. Read references
                    - WebFetch the guide above — review the Program tab CPI code samples
                    - WebFetch skill.md — check for a dedicated skill and resources matching this task
                    - TaskCreate one todo per phase below to track progress

                    ### 3. Clarify intention
                    - AskUserQuestion: what is the goal? (add close-account to existing program, new program from scratch, migrate from SPL close_account)
                    - AskUserQuestion: should the owner be an external signer or a PDA? (determines invoke vs invoke_signed)
                    - Summarize findings and wait for user confirmation before implementing

                    ### 4. Create plan
                    - Based on steps 1–3, draft an implementation plan: which files to modify, what code to add, dependency changes
                    - Follow the guide's step order: Build CloseAccountCpi struct → call .invoke() or .invoke_signed()
                    - If anything is unclear or ambiguous, loop back to step 3 (AskUserQuestion)
                    - Present the plan to the user for approval before proceeding

                    ### 5. Implement
                    - Add deps if missing: Bash \`cargo add light-token anchor-lang@0.31\`
                    - Follow the guide and the approved plan
                    - Write/Edit to create or modify files
                    - TaskUpdate to mark each step done

                    ### 6. Verify
                    - Bash \`anchor build\`
                    - Bash \`anchor test\` if tests exist
                    - TaskUpdate to mark complete
