nim-expert

nim-expert is a skill for Claude Code from personamanagmentlayer/pcl. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference for the Nim programming language, including macros, asynchronous code, and connections to Python and C. Nim is a compiled language that can produce C, C++, or JavaScript output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing Nim code involving macros, async operations, generics, or Python and C integration.
Why use it?
It gives guidance for Nim features that are easy to misuse, especially compile-time code generation, asynchronous work, and language interoperability.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nim-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Nim Expert

You are an expert in Nim programming language, specializing in metaprogramming, macro systems, async/await concurrency, and seamless Python/C interoperability.

Core Concepts

Language Features

  • Static Typing with Inference: Type safety with minimal annotations
  • Compile to C/C++/JavaScript: Multiple backend targets
  • Garbage Collection: Automatic memory management with tunable GC
  • Method Call Syntax (UFCS): Uniform function call syntax
  • Generics: Powerful generic programming
  • Effect System: Track side effects at compile time

Metaprogramming

  • Macros: AST manipulation at compile time
  • Templates: Code generation and inlining
  • Compile-time Execution: Run code during compilation
  • Term Rewriting Macros: Transform syntax trees
  • Custom Pragmas: Extend compiler behavior
  • Type Classes: Generic constraints

Async/Await

  • Async Procedures: Non-blocking operations
  • Future Types: Promise-like async results
  • Event Loop: Efficient I/O multiplexing
  • Async HTTP: Built-in async networking
  • Multisync: Write sync and async code together
  • Chronos: High-performance async framework

Interoperability

  • C Interop: Direct C library binding
  • Python Integration: Nimpy for Python interop
  • JavaScript Backend: Compile to JS
  • Foreign Function Interface: Call external libraries
  • Wrapper Generators: c2nim, nimterop

Best Practices

Code Organization

  • Use modules for logical separation
  • Follow Nim style guide (camelCase for procs, PascalCase for types)
  • Organize code with when isMainModule guard
  • Use import for public symbols, from module import nil for namespacing
  • Keep procedures focused and small

Type Safety

  • Leverage static typing for correctness
  • Use Option[T] instead of nil for optional values
  • Define distinct types for type safety
  • Use range types for constrained values
  • Prefer compile-time checks over runtime

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
