What it does

Using Common Lisp Repl is an agent skill from ultralisp/ultralisp. Use when developing Common Lisp interactively against a running image reachable through an MCP eval tool (evallispform / eval-lisp-form) and you need to evaluate forms safely, reload a file after editing it, capture REPL output, or locate a dependency's sources on disk.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: The software behind a Ultralisp.org Common Lisp repository.

When your agent uses it

  • Reload a file after editing it
  • Capture REPL output
  • Locate a dependencys sources on disk

Example prompts

  • “/using-common-lisp-repl”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3439788. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are lisp).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Using Common Lisp Repl loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 577 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 577 words (~1,332 tokens).

“When the project has a running Lisp image reachable through an MCP eval tool (eval_lisp_form / eval-lisp-form), prefer evaluating forms in that live image over shelling out to a fresh sbcl. This keeps shared state intact: loaded systems, in-memory data…”
