hoon-to-nock-workflow

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers understand how their high-level Hoon code is translated into low-level Nock assembly, enabling performance optimization and debugging of Urbit applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hoon Compilation Analysis: Provides a 4-phase workflow to compile Hoon code to Nock, analyze the resulting Nock formula, and identify optimization opportunities.
• Performance Tuning: Helps pinpoint inefficient Nock patterns that can be improved through jetting or Hoon refactoring.
• Debugging: Aids in understanding the execution flow of Urbit programs at the Nock level.
• Use Case: A developer writes a complex recursive function in Hoon and wants to ensure it compiles efficiently and doesn't cause stack overflows. They use this Skill to analyze the Nock output, confirm tail-call optimization, and identify if the decrement operation is jetted.

Quick Start

Analyze the compilation of the Hoon code |= n=@ ?:( =(n 0) 0 $(n (dec n))) to Nock.
