How do I install the Clojure skill?

Run npx skillmds add majiayu000/clojure-3 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.

Is Clojure safe to use?

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

Which AI agents work with Clojure?

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 Clojure free to use?

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

Clojure

Develop Clojure applications using deps.edn, tools.deps, and functional patterns. Activate when working with .clj/.cljc/.cljs files, deps.edn, or user mentions Clojure, REPL, spec, transducers, reducers, or functional programming.

Clojure Development

Functional-first Clojure with deps.edn, tools.deps, and immutability.

Workflow

1. MODEL    -> Define data with maps, records, specs
2. COMPOSE  -> Build with pure functions, ->> threading
3. TEST     -> Write tests first (clojure.test or Kaocha)
4. VALIDATE -> clojure -M:test/run && clj-kondo --lint src
5. ITERATE  -> Refactor in REPL, keep functions pure

CLI

# Project setup
clojure -Tnew app :name myuser/myapp    # New app project
clojure -Tnew lib :name myuser/mylib    # New library

# Run
clojure -M -m myapp.core                # Run -main
clojure -M:run                          # Via alias
clojure -X:run                          # Exec function

# REPL
clj                                     # Basic REPL
clojure -M:repl/rebel                   # Rebel readline

# Test
clojure -X:test/run                     # Run tests (Kaocha)
clojure -M:test -m kaocha.runner        # Alternative

# Build
clojure -T:build uber                   # Uberjar
clojure -T:build jar                    # Library jar

# Dependencies
clojure -X:deps tree                    # Dependency tree
clojure -X:deps find-versions :lib clojure.java-time/clojure.java-time
clojure -M:search/outdated              # Find outdated deps

Notes

Project layout, deps.edn templates, core patterns, naming conventions, and anti-patterns live in reference.md.
