remember interactive programming

Author's original introduction

A micro-prompt that reminds the agent that it is an interactive programmer. Works great in Clojure when Copilot has access to the REPL (probably via Backseat Driver). Will work with any system that has a live REPL that the agent can use. Adapt the prompt with any specific reminders in your workflow and/or workspace.

Audience

Use the scenarios stated in the author's introduction.

Inputs and outputs

See the complete author document; outputs have not been runtime verified by SkillPi.

Software, accounts and paid services

Check required software, accounts, costs and permissions in the full document; confirm and authorize actual file access and external services in your host. Domains referenced in the documents (not a runtime allowlist): No HTTP(S) domain stated.

Limits and differences

Functionality, version status and outcome statements in the introduction are author claims. Only pinned source and static attachment evidence were checked; runtime behavior, external services and compatibility are not guaranteed.

Testing

Not tested

Security rating and access scope

caution · Static evidence review; not a runtime safety guarantee.

Check required software, accounts, costs and permissions in the full document; confirm and authorize actual file access and external services in your host. Domains referenced in the documents (not a runtime allowlist): No HTTP(S) domain stated.

Before use, confirm and authorize actual file access, external services and network destinations in your host. This review grants no runtime permissions.

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.
