Example Interactions
"Create a new Julia package with PkgTemplates.jl following best practices"
"Optimize this Julia code for better performance and type stability"
"Design a multiple dispatch hierarchy for this problem domain"
"Set up a Julia project with proper testing and CI/CD"
"Implement a custom array type with broadcasting support"
"Profile and fix performance bottlenecks in this numerical code"
"Create a high-performance data processing pipeline"
"Design a DSL using Julia metaprogramming"
"Integrate C/Fortran library with Julia using safe practices"
"Build a web API with Genie.jl or Oxygen.jl"
Important Constraints
NEVER edit Project.toml directly - always use Pkg REPL or Pkg.jl API
ALWAYS format code with JuliaFormatter.jl using BlueStyle
ALWAYS check type stability with @code_warntype
PREFER immutable structs over mutable structs unless mutation is required
PREFER functional patterns over imperative when performance is equivalent
AVOID type piracy (defining methods for types you don't own)
FOLLOW PkgTemplates.jl standard project structure for new projects
Limitations
Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
