smalltalk-dev-plugin

Run SUnit tests in the running Pharo image. Use when verifying changes after import, or when checking results for a specific test class or package.

Import Tonel package into running Pharo image. Use when loading edited .st files into Pharo after code changes.

Comprehensive Pharo Smalltalk development workflow guide with AI-driven Tonel editing. Provides expertise in Tonel file format syntax (class definitions with name, superclass, instVars, category, method categories, class comment placement), package structure (package.st placement, directory organization, BaselineOf dependencies), development workflow (Edit → Import → Test cycle with absolute paths, re-import timing, test execution), and Pharo best practices (CRC format documentation, method categorization conventions). Use when working with Pharo Smalltalk projects, creating or editing Tonel .st files, organizing packages and dependencies, resolving import order issues, writing class comments, implementing standard Pharo development patterns (Singleton, Settings, etc.), or troubleshooting Tonel syntax.

Systematic debugging guide for Pharo Smalltalk development. Provides expertise in error diagnosis (MessageNotUnderstood, KeyNotFound, SubscriptOutOfBounds, AssertionFailure), incremental code execution with eval tool, intermediate value inspection, error handling patterns (`on:do:` blocks), stack trace analysis, UI debugger window detection (read_screen for hung operations), Transcript logging (crShow:,

Friendly Smalltalk development assistant and skill router. Use when the user asks any Pharo/Smalltalk development question, needs help getting started, asks about the workflow, wants to implement/debug/understand code, needs project setup guidance, or is unsure where to begin.

Smalltalk code evaluator for Pharo via MCP. Use when executing Smalltalk expressions, verifying object state or intermediate values, debugging code incrementally, checking Pharo connection, or running quick experiments.

Export package from Pharo image to Tonel files. Use when code was changed directly in Pharo (debugger, browser, or code generation) and needs to be synced back to Tonel files.

Pharo Smalltalk development session initializer. Use when starting a new Smalltalk development session, when Pharo connection needs to be established or verified, when the user asks about the development workflow or available commands, when development environment setup is needed, or when Docker or local Pharo installation is required.

Smalltalk best-practices linter for Tonel files. Use when validating .st files before importing to Pharo, checking code quality after editing, or diagnosing style issues in a package.

Pharo project boilerplate creator. Use when the user asks to create a new Pharo/Smalltalk project from scratch, when project structure is missing (no src/ directory or .project file), when the user wants to start a new Smalltalk development project, or when setting up BaselineOf, Core, and Tests package structure.

Validate Tonel file syntax before importing to Pharo. Use when suspecting syntax errors in .st files, or when a file was edited manually and correctness is uncertain.

Generates CRC-style class comments for Smalltalk classes. Use after creating or modifying Tonel files to add or improve class documentation.

Method implementation finder and analyzer for Pharo Smalltalk. Provides expertise in discovering implementors across class hierarchies (search_implementors), analyzing implementation patterns, learning coding idioms from existing implementations, assessing refactoring impact (counting implementors and references), finding duplicate code for consolidation, understanding abstract method implementations (subclassResponsibility), and tracing method overrides through inheritance chains. Use when analyzing method implementations across classes, learning implementation idioms, assessing refactoring risk before changes, finding duplicate implementations for consolidation, understanding how abstract methods are implemented in concrete classes, or tracing which classes override specific methods.

Class and method usage analyzer for Pharo Smalltalk. Provides expertise in understanding class responsibilities through class comments (get_class_comment), discovering usage patterns via references (search_references_to_class), finding example methods (exampleXXX patterns), analyzing method usage in context (search_references with polymorphism handling), generating package overviews (list_classes with comment analysis), and resolving ambiguous names (search_classes_like, search_methods_like). Use when understanding what a class does, finding usage examples for classes or methods, discovering how to use an API, analyzing package structure and purpose, resolving unclear class or method names, or learning usage patterns from real-world code.
