How does this skill change the way Claude writes code?

Claude will focus on defining types and signatures before implementation, favor small routines over large classes, and ensure the code structure is easy to read as a narrative.

Can I use this skill for refactoring existing projects?

Yes, the skill includes guidance on making the smallest change possible and leaving the code cleaner than it was found, making it excellent for incremental refactoring.

Does this skill work with any programming language?

Yes, while inspired by functional concepts, its principles of flat code, type-first design, and focused routines can be applied to almost any modern programming language.

What is the primary philosophy of the Terma Writing Code skill?

Enforces a functional, type-first coding philosophy inspired by Rich Hickey to create readable, flat, and highly intentional codebases.

The Terma Writing Code skill provides Claude with a rigorous framework for software architecture, prioritizing functional programming patterns over complex class hierarchies. It guides the development process by mandating a 'types-first' approach followed by focused routines, ensuring the resulting program reads like a coherent story of its own logic. This skill is ideal for teams looking to reduce technical debt, implement Clojure-inspired simplicity in other languages, and maintain high standards of code rigor through small, intentional changes.
