What is REPL-driven development in this skill?

REPL-driven development (RDD) is a workflow where you write and test small, fundamental functions directly in the Read-Eval-Print Loop for immediate feedback before moving them into source files.

What is the bottom-up development loop?

It is a methodology where you first verify the namespace loads, test individual functions with various inputs in the REPL, and only then compose them into larger, complex features.

How does this skill handle Clojure syntax errors?

The skill utilizes structural editing tools and mandatory readability checks after every change to ensure parentheses are balanced and the code follows Clojure formatting standards.

Can I use this for ClojureScript projects?

Yes, the skill is designed to guide development for both Clojure (JVM) and ClojureScript (JavaScript) environments using the same best practices.

Why does the skill prefer MCP tools over shell commands?

MCP tools like clojure_eval provide direct REPL integration, avoiding common shell escaping issues and offering superior error messages compared to standard shell commands.

Desarrollo de API

Facilitates high-quality Clojure and ClojureScript development through REPL-driven workflows and structural editing best practices.

The clojure-write skill empowers developers to build robust Clojure and ClojureScript applications by enforcing a disciplined REPL-driven development (RDD) workflow. It prioritizes the use of specialized MCP tools for direct REPL integration, ensuring structural integrity and providing immediate feedback through a bottom-up development loop. By guiding the creation of small, composable functions and enforcing strict coding conventions like parentheses management and readability checks, this skill streamlines the process of writing, refactoring, and testing functional code within complex environments.
