Can this skill prevent parentheses errors in Clojure?

Yes, it uses structural editing rules and automated readability checks to ensure that parentheses are balanced and code follows standard Lisp formatting.

What tools are required for this skill to work?

While it prefers clojure-mcp tools for direct integration, it can also utilize shell-based REPL commands like those found in the Metabase 'mage' environment.

Is it compatible with ClojureScript?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to handle both Clojure (JVM) and ClojureScript (JS) development environments and their respective REPLs.

How does this skill improve Clojure development?

It implements a REPL-driven workflow that validates code logic in real-time, preventing the 'edit-compile-crash' cycle by testing small functions before integration.

API Development

Guides Clojure and ClojureScript development using REPL-driven workflows, structural editing, and idiomatic coding conventions.

This skill equips Claude with a specialized framework for Clojure and ClojureScript development, emphasizing a bottom-up, REPL-driven approach. It prioritizes the use of clojure-mcp tools for structural editing and real-time evaluation, ensuring code is syntactically correct and readable before it is integrated. By following a strict cycle of writing, evaluating, and composing functions, this skill minimizes debugging time and promotes the creation of robust, functional codebases typical of high-performance environments like Metabase.
