Guides Pharo Smalltalk development using a file-based, test-driven workflow with Tonel files.
Enhances Pharo Smalltalk development by enforcing a disciplined, file-centric workflow. This skill guides you through the core cycle of editing Tonel source files, importing packages into a running Pharo image, and executing SUnit tests. It provides best practices for managing absolute paths, handling package dependencies using Baselines, and using the AI editor as the single source of truth for all code. Use this skill to create, modify, test, and debug Smalltalk classes and methods efficiently and reliably.
