## Code Evaluation Tool usage

“Use the repl” means to use the **Evaluate Clojure Code** tool from Calva Backseat Driver. It connects you to the same REPL as the user is connected to via Calva.

- Always stay inside Calva's REPL instead of launching a second one from the terminal.
- If there is no REPL connection, ask the user to connect the REPL instead of trying to start and connect it yourself.

### JSON Strings in REPL Tool Calls
Do not over-escape JSON arguments when invoking REPL tools.

```json
{
  "namespace": "<current-namespace>",
  "replSessionKey": "cljs",
  "code": "(def foo \"something something\")"
}
```

## Docstrings in `defn`
Docstrings belong immediately after the function name and before the argument vector.

```clojure
