# Writing Clojure Code

> Use when writing or refactoring any Clojure code — CLJ, CLJC, or CLJS (handlers, domain logic, helpers, defmethods, event handlers). Covers formatting for cond/case (same-line aligned clauses, no blank-line gutters, extract multi-line results), cond-, as-, function-call continuation args, let-binding alignment, and idiomatic patterns for API handlers (short-circuit with or, extract guard helpers, extract reusable predicates). Also applies to Clojure you write into implementation plans, design specs, scaffolding examples, or code-review prompts/comments — plan/spec code blocks get transcribed into the codebase verbatim, so they must already follow these rules (e.g. API handlers use an or-chain of maybe- guards, never a multi-branch guard cond; cond/case clauses are same-line with no blank-gutter). For Reagent-component-specific conventions use writing-reagent-components instead.
