How does this skill help with MoonBit syntax errors?

It provides specific rules for modern syntax, such as placing type parameters immediately after 'fn' and using the 'raise' keyword instead of deprecated error propagation suffixes.

How do I explore built-in MoonBit APIs with this skill?

The skill suggests using 'moon doc' followed by the Type name (e.g., 'moon doc Array') to quickly reveal available methods and documentation for built-in types.

Why should I use 'moon ide' commands instead of grep?

'moon ide' provides semantic search capabilities that distinguish between definitions and call sites, whereas grep includes comments and strings, leading to less accurate code navigation.

What is the recommended way to handle snapshot tests?

Use 'moon test -u' to automatically update content strings in 'inspect()' calls, ensuring your tests reflect the actual state of your code with minimal manual effort.

Does this skill support functional programming in MoonBit?

Yes, it encourages the use of functional for-loops with state management and range-based loops, which are more readable and idiomatic in MoonBit.

Developer Tools

Optimizes MoonBit code generation and project navigation by enforcing best practices and modern syntax standards.

About

The moonbit-practice skill equips Claude Code with domain-specific knowledge for the MoonBit language ecosystem, preventing common AI hallucinations regarding deprecated syntax and legacy patterns. It streamlines development by prioritizing semantic 'moon ide' commands over standard file searches, ensuring Claude can accurately navigate symbols, definitions, and references. This skill is essential for developers looking to write idiomatic MoonBit code, manage snapshot tests effectively, and leverage advanced language features like functional for-loops and checked error handling without manual intervention.
