To maintain AI focus during interactive programming with a REPL, this skill reinforces the AI's role as an interactive programmer, ensuring it consistently leverages the REPL for system exploration and modification while actively managing its task list.

REPL-driven development is a technique where the AI uses the Read-Eval-Print Loop as its primary tool to interactively explore, understand, and modify a system, particularly in environments like Clojure using tools such as Backseat Driver.

To provide context for large code evaluations in a REPL, this skill reminds the AI to succinctly describe the evaluated code, ensuring the human user understands the process since they cannot directly see the evaluation happening.

Yes, this interactive programming approach works with structural editing tools. The skill explicitly promotes a preference for using structural editing tools when making file modifications within the REPL-driven development workflow.

Yes, you can use this skill with Clojure. The skill is specifically designed to be useful in Clojure environments, leveraging tools like Backseat Driver to facilitate REPL-driven system exploration and modification.

The AI needs a task list during REPL code exploration to maintain contextual awareness and track progress. This skill ensures the AI remembers to manage its todo list, keeping the interactive programming session organized and goal-oriented.
