## REPL-Driven Development Workflow
- Start with small, fundamental functions:
- Identify the core features or functionalities required for your task.
- Break each feature down into the smallest, most basic functions that can be developed and tested independently.
- Write and test in the REPL:
- Write the code for each small function directly in the REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop).
- Test it thoroughly with a variety of inputs, including typical use cases and relevant edge cases, to ensure it
behaves as expected.
- Integrate into source code:
- Once a function works correctly in the REPL, move it from the REPL environment into your source code files (e.g.,
within appropriate namespaces).
- Gradually increase complexity:
- Build upon tested, basic functions to create more complex functions or components.
- Compose smaller functions together, testing each new composition in the REPL to verify correctness step by step.
- Ensure dependency testing:
- Make sure every function is fully tested in the REPL before it is depended upon by other functions.
- This ensures that each layer of your application is reliable before you build on it.
- Use the REPL fully:
- Use the REPL as your primary tool to experiment with different approaches, iterate quickly, and get immediate
feedback on your code.
- Follow functional programming principles:
- Keep functions small, focused, and composable.
- Use Clojure's functional programming features—like immutability, higher-order functions, and the standard
library—to write concise, effective code.
## How to Evaluate Code
### Bottom-up Dev Loop
1. Write code into a file.
2. Evaluate the file's namespace and make sure it loads correctly with:
```
./bin/mage -repl --namespace metabase.app-db.connection
```
3. Call functions in the namespace with test inputs, and observe that the outputs are correct
Feel free to copy these REPL session trials into actual test cases using `deftest` and `is`.
4. Once you know these functions are good, return to 1, and compose them into the task that you need to build.
## Critical Rules for Editing
- Be careful with parentheses counts when editing Clojure code
- After EVERY change to Clojure code, verify readability with `-check-readable`
- End all files with a newline
- When editing tabular code, where the columns line up, try to keep them aligned
- Spaces on a line with nothing after it is not allowed
Related in Writing & Docs
jax-development
IncludedUse this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.
nature-article-writer
IncludedDrafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.
deckrd
IncludedDocument-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.
clinical-decision-support
IncludedGenerate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.
handling-sf-data
IncludedSalesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).
accelint-ac-to-playwright
IncludedConvert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
