Claujure

Claujure is a fork of bhauman/rebel-readline that integrates Claude Code directly into the Clojure REPL. Ask Claude questions, get help with your code, and explore ideas — all without leaving your terminal session.

What’s New: The `:ai` Command

Type :ai <prompt> at the REPL to send a question to Claude. Claujure automatically includes your current REPL context (namespace and public vars), so Claude’s responses are tailored to what you’re working on.

user=> (defn greet [name] (str "Hello, " name))
#'user/greet
user=> :ai what does the greet function do?
Asking Claude...
The `greet` function takes a `name` argument and returns a greeting
string by concatenating "Hello, " with the provided name.

Features

Context-aware: Claude sees your current namespace and defined vars
Tab completion: Type :a + TAB to complete to :ai
Error handling: Helpful messages if Claude Code isn’t installed or configured
Non-blocking: Uses claude -p (non-interactive mode) for clean inline output

Prerequisites

Claude Code must be installed and available on your PATH.

Quick Start

With the Clojure CLI tools installed:

clojure -J--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED \
  -Sdeps '{:deps {com.bhauman/rebel-readline {:local/root "/path/to/claujure/rebel-readline"}}}' \
  -M -m rebel-readline.main

Or add a shell alias for convenience:

alias claujure="clojure -J--enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED -Sdeps '{:deps {com.bhauman/rebel-readline {:local/root \"/path/to/claujure/rebel-readline\"}}}' -M -m rebel-readline.main"

Replace /path/to/claujure with the actual path to your Claujure checkout.
