Direct-Style Scala

What it does

Provides an expert opinionated styleguide and tooling rules for Scala projects focused on direct-style programming and Ox structured concurrency. It documents required build settings, dependency resolution practices, testing and formatting rules, performance patterns, and pragmatic guidelines for Tapir HTTP wiring and resource management. The skill helps agents reason about correct compilation, dependency selection, and safe concurrency patterns when authoring or reviewing Scala code.

When to use it

Use this skill when: adding or modifying Scala code, setting up a new Scala/Ox project, resolving dependency versions, compiling and running tests, wiring Tapir endpoints in direct-style, or reviewing architecture and concurrency decisions. It is especially valuable for tasks that must follow direct-style/Ox conventions or when maintaining zero-warning builds.

What's included

• Scripts: none detected in the skill dir (has_scripts=false)
• References: substantial chapter files present (has_references=false but many sibling markdown chapters alongside the skill)
• Instructions: step-by-step guidance on dependency lookup, compile/run tooling, sbt client usage, formatting, explicit return types, braceless syntax, resource ownership, and recommended concurrency primitives (Ox). Also covers Tapir wiring, testing, and performance recommendations.

Compatible agents

Likely compatible with Claude Code, Codex, and other code-focused agents that can run build/test tooling and reason about Scala code. It is primarily a policy/style skill rather than an installable tool.
