# Babashka Clojure Skill

**Trit**: 0 (ERGODIC - scripting mediates between REPL and production)  
**Foundation**: Babashka + sci interpreter + pods  

## Core Concept

Babashka provides instant Clojure scripting without JVM startup:
- Native binary via GraalVM
- Compatible with most clojure.core
- Pods for extending functionality

## Commands

```bash
# Run script
bb script.clj

# REPL
bb nrepl-server

# Tasks
bb tasks
bb run <task>
```

## GF(3) Integration

```clojure
(require '[babashka.process :refer [shell]])

;; Color from seed
(defn gay-color [seed idx]
  (let [h (mod (* seed idx 0x9E3779B97F4A7C15) 360)]
    {:hue h :trit (cond (< h 120) 1 (< h 240) 0 :else -1)}))
```
