Is anyone using a cfml skill? I have had excellent progress with Claude code, 1000x faster then me coding. I omly have 1 active site I maintain in cfml, but I do a bunch of tools on the side.

VS Code + Claude code user here on a Max plan. I'm using a bunch of skills specific to my project (legacy project that I'm slowly making sane) but nothing language specific. I do have a few guidelines to keep it on track that it frequently gets wrong (using var outside of functions in .CFM files for example), but in the last 6-9 months I've found it has improved greatly. when I started, it would constantly get tripped up when converting tag-syntax to cfscript but now it is excellent at it and I have very few guard rails around that. Hooking it into some linters + Testbox greatly improved its quality too - while it doesn't always get things right the first time, being able to self-correct from automated feedback might've been an even greater step forward than just using it 'normally'. I'd love to get it hooked into Playwright as well but things are moving too fast to bother with that just yet!

I have seen it use var outside of functions, I have that in my CLAUDE.md file actually.
I personally had really good experience when 4.8 landed for cfml. 5.0 I didn;t do any cfml before i lost access.

I coincidentally was trying a bunch of security checks with Fable the day it was released, didn't realise it was a heavy protected Mythos - turns out the security stuff is the very thing it doesn't like and would repeatedly shut down on me, took me longer than I'd like to realise what was going on 😅 I didn't get enough time with it to see if it was just marketing talk (which is what I'm expecting!)

It was very good, I'm working on 2 other products and have 2 Max plans fully maxed for the 30 hours or so I had access to it.

hopefully the opportunity returns soon
