Short answer
The best AI coding skills for Clojure are skills-hub's `code-review`, `unit-test` (clojure.test + Kaocha + test.check), `api-scaffold` (Ring + reitit), `db-schema` (Datomic / next.jdbc), and `secure`. Portable across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Copilot, and Cline.
Clojure in 2026 means Clojure 1.12, deps.edn-first projects, Ring + reitit for HTTP, Datomic Cloud or next.jdbc for the DB, and Shadow CLJS for the frontend. The skills below detect your Clojure stack and emit idiomatic code, proper destructuring, transducers where they help, spec or malli for runtime validation, and clear separation of pure logic from IO.

Frequently asked questions
Do AI skills use deps.edn or Leiningen?
Modern skills default to deps.edn for new projects but respect existing project.clj / Lein workflows. They detect tools.deps aliases and use them for repl + test + build.
Can AI generate reitit routes?
Yes, the api-scaffold skill detects reitit and emits proper route data with malli schemas, interceptor chains, and OpenAPI generation. It also handles ring-handler style for older codebases.
What's the best AI tool for Clojure?
Cursor with the Calva extension is the best inline experience; Claude Code's REPL-shaped workflow fits Clojure well too. JetBrains Cursive plugin works in Claude Code's JetBrains plugin.
Do AI skills know spec and malli?
Yes, modern skills detect which validation library the project uses and emit specs (clojure.spec.alpha) or schemas (malli) accordingly. Malli is increasingly the default for new projects.
