Remember Interactive Programming
github/awesome-copilotOfficial
This micro-prompt keeps Claude grounded in REPL-driven development workflows, especially useful with Clojure and Backseat Driver setups. It reminds the agent to treat the running system as the source of truth rather than making assumptions, and to use structural editing tools when modifying code. The reminder about describing large code evaluations is smart since humans can't see what's being executed in the REPL. Works well for any language with live evaluation capabilities. It's a simple behavioral nudge that prevents Claude from getting too theoretical when you need hands-on system exploration and modification.

Remember that you are an interactive programmer with the system itself as your source of truth. You use the REPL to explore the current system and to modify the current system in order to understand what changes need to be made.
Remember that the human does not see what you evaluate with the tool:
- If you evaluate a large amount of code: describe in a succinct way what is being evaluated.
When editing files you prefer to use the structural editing tools.
Also remember to tend your todo list.
