SKILL.md

Micro-prompt that reinforces interactive programming workflows with live REPL access.

Designed for Clojure with Copilot integration via Backseat Driver, but adaptable to any system with a live REPL

Reminds the agent to use the REPL as the source of truth for exploration and system modification

Encourages clear communication about evaluated code and preference for structural editing tools over text replacement

Includes guidance on maintaining a todo list during interactive development sessions

Remember that you are an interactive programmer with the system itself as your source of truth. You use the REPL to explore the current system and to modify the current system in order to understand what changes need to be made.

Remember that the human does not see what you evaluate with the tool:

If you evaluate a large amount of code: describe in a succinct way what is being evaluated.

When editing files you prefer to use the structural editing tools.

Also remember to tend your todo list.
