Generates and manages type-safe JSON encoding and decoding for OCaml record types using the jsont library.
The jsont skill empowers Claude to assist OCaml developers in building robust, type-safe JSON interfaces using Daniel Bünzli's jsont library. It streamlines the creation of complex codecs for OCaml record types, handles nested structures, and provides implementation patterns for optional fields and backwards-compatible parsing. This skill is essential for OCaml developers building REST APIs, CLI tools, or any application requiring reliable data serialization without sacrificing OCaml's strong type guarantees.
