writing-motoko helps you produce modern Motoko that compiles cleanly and matches best-practice patterns for canister development, especially around persistence, upgrades, and maintainable multi-file architecture.
Use the writing-motoko skill when editing your canister .mo files by asking the AI to refactor your code to match the skill’s Motoko conventions for mo:core, dot notation, enhanced persistence, and a types/lib/mixins/main architecture.

Enhanced orthogonal persistence in Motoko canister development is applied by following specific conventions that avoid unnecessary stable variables and upgrade hooks. This approach maintains state automatically across actor upgrades without manual serialization code.
The best way to structure a multi-file Motoko canister project is using a types.mo, lib/, mixins/, and main.mo layout. This architecture separates shared types, internal libraries, and composable service mixins for maintainable code.
Motoko code fails when calling core type functions without dot notation because consistent contextual dot calls for mo:core types are required. Enforcing dot-notation for self-parameter functions prevents common compiler error patterns.
Yes, you need shared types for public function boundaries in Motoko actors. Converting from internal mutable containers to shared types ensures safe API boundaries and correct public interactions across your canister code.
To handle actor upgrades and migration constraints in Motoko, follow enhanced migration guidelines and load migrating-motoko variants where needed. This ensures state compatibility and correct persistence during canister upgrades.
