AI SummaryAuthoritative reference for the Roc programming language that helps Claude read, write, debug, and analyze Roc code with current compiler accuracy. Essential for developers working with Roc who need reliable, up-to-date syntax and API guidance.
Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "roc-language" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into the correct directory mkdir -p .claude/skills/roc-init && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/roc-init/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rickhull/roc-init/master/SKILL.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Authoritative Roc programming language reference. When Claude needs to read, write, edit, debug, or analyze any .roc file, or understand Roc syntax, types, or compiler errors. Provides current API reference and syntax patterns using Roc compiler source as ground truth.
Critical Notes
WARNING: Outdated Documentation Exists • Many online tutorials reference the old Rust-based Roc compiler • Current Roc uses different builtin functions than old docs show • Example: Num.to_str does NOT exist in current Roc; use Str.inspect instead
