How do I install the Star Lang skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add lost-rob0t/star-lang in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Star Lang skill do?

star-lang, language, schemas, compiler, runtime, extensions, common-lisp It is listed under Coding & Dev Tools on SkillMD.

Is Star Lang safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Star Lang?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Star Lang free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Star-Lang

Goal

Use Star-Lang to define, load, and consume versioned specification libraries, or extend the language and its Common Lisp runtime through the current canonical implementation.

Requires Git, Nix, and a current Star-Lang checkout. Use paths discovered from the user's repository or supplied explicitly; do not assume a personal clone location.

Choose the task

To write or modify .star, load a library, resolve imports, or consume its compiled graph, read references/language.md.
To add reusable schema vocabulary, prefer a new or imported .star library. Use a declarative format-1 macro only for repeated declaration shapes.
To change syntax, types, compiler IR, bindings, actor behavior, or adapters, read references/extending.md.
For native or external actor operations, also read references/runtime.md.

Workflow

Inspect the current README, conformance ledger, representative fixtures, owning package exports, and tests. Current executable code outranks older design prose.
Select the smallest extension layer that fits: library source, declarative macro, compiler surface, final runtime system, or adapter port. Do not create a parallel parser, compiler, dispatcher, or runtime.
For language use, start from a minimal spec-library, load it through the starlang CLI, and inspect the resulting graph before integrating it.
For implementation changes, add a focused failing test at the owning boundary, implement the smallest coherent change, and update fixtures, exports, serialization, bindings, docs, or the conformance ledger when those contracts actually change.
Run focused ASDF tests, then run this skill's complete gate:
```
scripts/verify.py --repo <star-lang-checkout>
```

Rules

.star source always enters through the closed UTF-8 Star-Lang parser, never the Common Lisp reader or evaluator.
Preserve the explicit read -> resolve -> expand -> validate -> compile pipeline and keep normalized IR deterministic, data-only, and runtime-neutral.
Imports use exact versions and full SHA-256 locks. Remote resolution is HTTPS only and requires explicit network authorization.
Source and wire field names are lower camel case. Exact decimals stay strings; do not claim unsupported numeric or research-conformance behavior.
Common Lisp is the implementation language. Generated Python or TypeScript bindings consume portable manifests; they do not implement Star-Lang.
