Smalltalk Validator FAQs

Question 1

What is Smalltalk Validator?

Accepted Answer

Smalltalk Validator is an MCP server tool designed to validate Tonel formatted Smalltalk source code and method definitions. It ensures syntax correctness, particularly beneficial for AI-generated code, before it's loaded into a live Smalltalk environment.

Question 2

Why is it important to validate AI-generated Smalltalk code?

Accepted Answer

Validating AI-generated Smalltalk code is crucial to ensure it adheres to syntax rules and is free of errors before integration. Smalltalk Validator helps prevent malformed or incorrect code from being loaded into your Smalltalk environment, maintaining code quality and system stability.

Question 3

How does Smalltalk Validator integrate with development environments?

Accepted Answer

It integrates as an MCP (Multi-tool Communication Protocol) server. This allows it to be configured and used seamlessly with AI development environments such as Cursor and Claude Code, providing on-demand code validation within your workflow.

Question 4

Can I validate only the Tonel structure without method body checks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Smalltalk Validator offers an 'without-method-body' option. When set to true, it validates only the Tonel structure, skipping the detailed syntax check of the Smalltalk method bodies, which can be useful for specific testing or validation scenarios.

Question 5

How does Smalltalk Validator check code syntax?

Accepted Answer

It provides versatile validation capabilities: you can validate Tonel formatted Smalltalk source code directly from a file path or a content string. Additionally, it can specifically validate the syntax correctness of individual Smalltalk method bodies.
