What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses cursor-position bugs in asynchronous Emacs Lisp code by teaching reliable patterns that preserve buffer context across callbacks, timers, and process filters.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Marker-based position tracking to survive edits during async operations.
• Explicitly pass context into callbacks to avoid relying on the current cursor state.
• Use lexical binding to capture variables for safe asynchronous execution.
• Validate and reposition point before using cursor-dependent functions like org-entry-get and org-get-tags.

Quick Start

Position the cursor, then start an asynchronous Emacs Lisp operation using captured markers and explicit context.
