Here are proven strategies to prevent this: - -** For AI Code Generation - -*** 1. Write Small, Focused Functions -- Keep functions under 15 lines when possible -- Each function should do ONE thing -- Easier to verify parentheses at a glance -- Easier to test in isolation - -#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE -Bad (deeply nested, hard to verify): -(defun process-data (data) - (when (valid-p data) - (let ((result (transform data))) - (when result - (let ((final (format result))) - (when final - (save final))))))) - -Good (broken into helpers): -(defun process-data (data) - (when (valid-p data) - (save-result (format-result (transform-data data))))) - -(defun transform-data (data) ...) -(defun format-result (result) ...) -(defun save-result (final) ...) -#+END_EXAMPLE - -*** 2. Test Immediately After Each Write -- Write function โ check-parens โ test load โ repeat -- Don't batch multiple functions before testing -- Catch errors early when context is fresh - -#+BEGIN_SRC bash -# After writing each function: -emacs --batch file.el --eval '(check-parens)' && echo "โ" -#+END_SRC - -*** 3. Prefer Write Over Multiple Edits -- For complex new code: use Write tool (complete file) -- Only use Edit for small, simple changes -- Incremental edits can introduce subtle paren mismatches -- Complete file Write is easier to verify - -*** 4. Validate Before Committing -- Use pre-commit hooks to validate all .el files -- Prevents committing broken code -- Example in chime.el repository: .git/hooks/pre-commit - -*** 5. Test Emacs Launch After Non-Trivial Changes -**CRITICAL: Always test that Emacs launches without errors after making changes** - -After completing any non-trivial code changes (new modules, integrations, etc.): - -#+BEGIN_SRC bash -# 1. Run unit tests (if applicable) -make test - -# 2. Test that Emacs launches without backtrace -emacs --eval "(kill-emacs)" -#+END_SRC - -This catches: -- Syntax errors in :command specifications -- Missing dependencies at load time -- Invalid use-package configurations -- Broken requires/provides - -**When to do this:** -- โ
After adding new checker definitions (flycheck, flymake) -- โ
After creating new modules -- โ
After modifying init.el or early-init.el -- โ
Before committing changes -- โ
After running all unit tests - -**Example lesson:** The LanguageTool integration used =(eval (expand-file-name ...))= in -a =:command= specification, which caused a backtrace on startup. Testing Emacs launch -would have caught this immediately instead of discovering it on next restart. - -** For Human Developers - -*** 1. Use Structural Editing Modes -These PREVENT unbalanced parens: -- **paredit** - Classic, strict structural editing -- **smartparens** - More flexible, works with multiple languages -- **lispy** - Modal editing for lisps -- **electric-pair-mode** - Built-in, auto-closes parens - -*** 2. Enable Real-time Validation -- **flycheck** + **flycheck-package** - Shows errors as you type -- **flymake** - Built-in alternative -- **rainbow-delimiters-mode** - Colors matching parens - -*** 3. Quick Validation Commands -#+BEGIN_SRC elisp -M-x check-parens ; Check current buffer -M-x byte-compile-file ; More comprehensive checking -#+END_SRC - -** Lessons from chime-org-contacts.el Development - -*** Original Problem -Complex nested function with 6 levels of nesting: -- Hard to count parentheses manually -- AI kept adding/removing wrong number of closing parens -- Functions weren't defined after file load -- Wasted significant debugging time - -*** Solution That Worked -Refactored into 3 helper functions: -1. =chime-org-contacts--parse-birthday= (10 lines) -2. =chime-org-contacts--format-timestamp= (4 lines) -3. =chime-org-contacts--insert-timestamp-after-drawer= (12 lines) - -Main function became simple composition (10 lines). - -**Result:** -- All functions defined correctly -- Easy to verify parens by eye -- Each function testable independently -- 24 tests written covering all cases - -*** Key Insight -Breaking complex code into small helpers: -- โ
