clojure-interactive-programming — GitHub Copilot plugin

Adds REPL-first Clojure development workflows to GitHub Copilot. It helps evaluate code incrementally in a live REPL before modifying files.

What clojure-interactive-programming does

The plugin introduces the clojure-interactive-programming agent and a dedicated slash command. The agent acts as an interactive Clojure pair programmer. It evaluates code in a live REPL before modifying files and prevents workarounds.

The command /clojure-interactive-programming:remember-interactive-programming reminds the agent to stay in interactive mode. For this setup to work, Copilot needs REPL access, such as via Backseat Driver. Without an active REPL session, the plugin offers little value.

What it helps with

  • evaluate Clojure code in a live REPL before editing files
  • remind Copilot to follow interactive programming principles
  • prevent Clojure workarounds during pair programming sessions

Example prompts for the agent

  • /clojure-interactive-programming:remember-interactive-programming
  • Test this data transformation in the REPL before updating the file
  • Pair program on this Clojure namespace using interactive REPL evaluation

Questions about clojure-interactive-programming

How to install clojure-interactive-programming in GitHub Copilot?

Run copilot plugin install clojure-interactive-programming@awesome-copilot in your terminal.

What does clojure-interactive-programming do?

It provides a dedicated pair-programming agent and a reminder command. Both guide Copilot to evaluate Clojure code in a live REPL before changing files.

What is required for the REPL workflow to work?

Copilot needs access to an active REPL, for instance through Backseat Driver. The interactive agent relies on evaluating code in a live runtime.

# Clojure Interactive Programming Plugin

Tools for REPL-first Clojure workflows featuring Clojure instructions, the interactive programming chat mode and supporting guidance.

## Installation

```bash
# Using Copilot CLI
copilot plugin install clojure-interactive-programming@awesome-copilot
```

## What's Included

### Commands (Slash Commands)

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/clojure-interactive-programming:remember-interactive-programming` | 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. |

### Agents

| Agent | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `clojure-interactive-programming` | Expert Clojure pair programmer with REPL-first methodology, architectural oversight, and interactive problem-solving. Enforces quality standards, prevents workarounds, and develops solutions incrementally through live REPL evaluation before file modifications. |
