Best use case
elisp is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Emacs Lisp reference (106K lines info).
Teams using elisp should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# elisp
Emacs Lisp reference (106K lines info).
## Basics
```elisp
(defun greet (name)
"Greet NAME."
(message "Hello, %s!" name))
(let ((x 1) (y 2))
(+ x y))
```
## Macros

(defmacro when-let ((var expr) &rest body)
`(let ((,var ,expr))
(when ,var ,@body)))
```
## Hooks
```elisp
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'my-setup)
(remove-hook 'before-save-hook #'delete-trailing-whitespace)
```
## Advice
```elisp
(advice-add 'find-file :before #'my-before-find-file)
(advice-add 'save-buffer :after #'my-after-save)
```
## Info
```
C-h i m elisp RET
C-h f <function>
C-h v <variable>
```
## Scientific Skill Interleaving
This skill connects to the K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills ecosystem:
### Graph Theory
- **networkx** [○] via bicomodule
- Universal graph hub
### Bibliography References
- `general`: 734 citations in bib.duckdb
## Cat# Integration
This skill maps to **Cat# = Comod(P)** as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:
```
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826
```
### GF(3) Naturality
The skill participates in triads satisfying:
```
(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
```
This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.Related Skills
