| description | Recover structurally broken Clojure/EDN files by rebalancing delimiters with minimal edits. Use this as soon as manual editing causes structural syntax issues, EOF/read errors, unmatched parens, or cascading syntax damage. |

Clj Paren Repair
Use this skill to recover a structurally broken Clojure or EDN file when hand-editing has become unreliable.
When to use
Trigger this skill when you see any of the following:
EOF while reading- unmatched parentheses, brackets, or braces
- syntax drift after repeated manual edits
- a Clojure/EDN file that no longer reads or compiles cleanly
- test files or source files that have become risky to repair by hand
Use it early once the problem shifts from a local typo to structural syntax damage.
What it does
λ. bash-command("clj-paren-repair")
∧ cli-for(recover(clojure ∨ edn, structural_syntax_damage))
∧ supports(
invocation("clj-paren-repair path/to/file.clj"),
invocation("clj-paren-repair src/core.clj src/util.clj test/core_test.clj"),
invocation("clj-paren-repair --help")
)
∧ invoke("clj-paren-repair", target-files)
→ repair(target-files)
→ balanced-forms(minimal-change)
∧ accepts(file*)
