Skill: Clojure Code Quality and Structural Editing

Goal

Automatically fix malformed Clojure expressions, balance delimiters, and validate syntax using local OpenCode tools.

Use This Skill When

• •Clojure/ClojureScript files report unmatched delimiters or EOF errors.
• •You need a safe pre-flight check before running Shadow-CLJS builds.
• •You want to normalize delimiter structure after refactors.

Do Not Use This Skill When

• •The task is unrelated to Clojure or ClojureScript.
• •The error is a runtime logic error (use the app-specific debugging flow).

Tools

• •fix_clojure_delimiters (Parinfer indent/paren or cljstyle mode)
• •validate_clojure_syntax (clj-kondo lint)

Workflow

1. •Run fix_clojure_delimiters with parinfer-indent.
2. •Run validate_clojure_syntax.
3. •If validation fails, retry fix_clojure_delimiters with parinfer-paren.
4. •If validation still fails, switch to clojure-syntax-rescue for manual analysis.

Output

• •Balanced delimiters in the target file.
• •clj-kondo lint passes for the file.

Strong Hints

• •Constraint: Only run cljstyle if the CLI is installed and available in PATH.
• •Tip: Start with Parinfer indent mode; only use paren mode when indent mode fails.
