elisp-compile

name	elisp-compile
description	Validate byte compilation for a specified Emacs Lisp file in this repository. Use this skill when an agent needs a focused compile check for one `.el` file; on success it removes the generated `.elc` artifact.

Elisp Compile

Use this skill to run a single-file batch byte-compile check and leave the worktree clean afterward.

Workflow

1. Pass exactly one .el file path to ./bin/elisp-compile.sh.
2. The command runs emacs -Q --batch --eval "(setq load-prefer-newer t)" -L . -f batch-byte-compile FILE.
3. If compilation succeeds, it deletes the generated .elc file before exiting.
4. If compilation fails, it leaves the .elc artifact state unchanged and returns the compiler error.

Notes

• Use the explicit repo-root path above; do not reinterpret it relative to SKILL.md.
• The command resolves repo-relative paths against the repository root.
• This is for targeted validation, not full-suite testing.
• Use the cleanup skill directly when .elc artifacts already exist from other commands.
