Does this skill work with the Dune build system?

Yes, it provides the necessary environment configuration and 'opam exec' capabilities to ensure that Dune can find the correct packages and compiler versions.

Is this skill relevant for scientific computing?

Specifically yes; it is part of a scientific skill ecosystem that links OCaml package management to topological data analysis and graph theory tools like networkx.

Can I use this skill to develop unpublished OCaml packages?

Yes, the skill supports package pinning, allowing you to link local directories or specific Git repositories as package sources for active development.

How do I switch OCaml versions using this skill?

You can use 'opam switch' commands through the skill to create, list, and set specific compiler environments, such as OCaml 5.1.0, for different project requirements.

What does the opam skill do for Claude Code?

The opam skill allows Claude to interact with the OCaml Package Manager, enabling it to install libraries, manage compiler versions, and resolve dependencies within your OCaml projects.

Developer Tools

Manages OCaml packages, compiler switches, and project environments to streamline functional programming workflows.

About

The opam skill equips Claude with the specialized ability to manage the OCaml ecosystem, handling everything from package installation and dependency resolution to managing multiple compiler versions via switches. It simplifies complex developer tasks such as pinning local packages for active development, configuring external repositories, and managing environment variables for build tools like Dune. Built with integration for scientific computing contexts, this skill ensures that OCaml-based projects remain reproducible, stable, and correctly configured across different system environments.

Key Features

Custom repository configuration for private or specialized package sources.
Environment evaluation and command execution wrappers for seamless integration with build systems.
Comprehensive package management including installation, removal, and upgrades.
Compiler switch management for isolated environments and multi-version OCaml testing.
Local package pinning to integrate development-stage code from local paths or Git.

Use Cases

Switching between OCaml 4.x and 5.x compilers to test library compatibility.
Setting up and maintaining reproducible OCaml development environments.
Managing dependencies for complex functional programming and scientific computing projects.
