Where to start

clj-ant is a Clojure interface to Apache Ant's task and type ecosystem. It is not a build tool — there's no opinion about project layout, no replacement for tools.build. It exists so that the long tail of Ant's ~470 tasks and types (<scp>, <replaceregexp>, <filterchain>, <jar>, <get>, <checksum>, <apply>, ...) becomes callable as ordinary Clojure code, with results readable as Clojure data.

The docs to read, roughly in order:

1. README.md — quickstart and the data model.
2. doc/examples.md — recipe cookbook for real problems Clojure devs hit (templating, bulk find-and-replace, smart copy, archive surgery, parallel pipelines, SSH from bb, …) plus the file-collection reference.
3. doc/babashka.md — the bb pod model.
4. doc/architecture.md — design decisions, layer model, anti-patterns. For someone (human or AI) operating in the codebase.
5. doc/tools-build.md — interop with clojure.tools.build.
6. doc/roadmap.md — open ideas, status per item.
