   Do you two think
   https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Example-Major-Modes.html
   is a reasonable reference for cramming my elisp into one major mode? I was debating looking at Eduardo's eev, though I guess that's mostly minor mode based, or slime, but slime is like saying "I'm going to make my attic be like Valhalla" <_>

     @screwtape That doesn't sound like a Emacs mode at all, either major or minor?

     Well, in this case not write text mode.
     - clone new "software individual"s into e.g. ~/.emacs.d/elpa/this-mode/leocommunity/* which will be the working directory for software individuals.
     - Spawn a new slime repl with inferior-lisp-program as "clisp -E ISO-8859-1 -modern"
     - start sandewall's cle (read-line based) interactor inside that/those repls
     - automatically insert stuff into those special (renamed, I guess) multiple slime repls.

     If you can kinda imagine.

     @screwtape Or maybe a mode, a derived one based on slime-mode?https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Derived-Modes.html

     Basically slime mode with that inferior lisp is good enough for doing all of Sandewall's software individual stuff, but since the useage is idiomatic, I want to provide obvious shortcuts for stubbing common commands. It's very repetitive put .. get .. def .. add entity .. add kb ...

     clone doesn't mean git clone. It means stub from template.

     @amszmidt
     Should I put working-directories inside the mode's directory somewhere, or should I put them in ~/.local/share/software-individuals/ do you think?

     I think there is antecedent. Consider slime, elm, eshell. I want to add Sandewall's 'cle' like those. By its nature cle could sit on top of slime (which is why you say it doesn't sound like an emacs mode). cle involves storing stateful changes in copies of a particular directory tree itself.

     So I figure either the XDG https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/#variables suggests I should use by default put a dir in $HOME/.local/share . But this suggests a program outside of emacs to me, so maybe a working directory inside the mode's directory.
