What is REPL-Driven Development (RDD)?

RDD is a workflow where you write and test small functions in a Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) to get immediate feedback before moving the code into source files.

Does this skill work for ClojureScript?

Yes, the skill is optimized for both Clojure and ClojureScript development, following standard conventions for both environments.

What is the 'bottom-up' development loop mentioned in the skill?

It is a process of writing basic functions, evaluating the namespace, testing with inputs, and finally composing those verified functions into larger features.

How does the skill handle Clojure code formatting?

It enforces strict rules on parentheses balance, tabular alignment, trailing spaces, and requires a readability check after every code modification.

API Development

Guides high-quality Clojure and ClojureScript development using a REPL-driven workflow and functional programming best practices.

About

This skill empowers Claude to act as an expert Clojure developer by implementing a rigorous REPL-driven development (RDD) workflow. It emphasizes a bottom-up approach where small, pure functions are written and tested in the REPL before being integrated into the source code. By enforcing strict Clojure coding conventions, managing parentheses counts, and ensuring readability via automated checks, the skill helps maintain clean, idiomatic, and production-ready codebases for both Clojure and ClojureScript projects.
