SLIST should be LIST(NON_EMPTY_STRING) and on the sketch side you'll get an slist. Don't give it a default.*
namespacing is hard the first few times, let me know if you need that
I've done it before, its not too bad, just tends to be the last thing I do.
From interactive mode with cf-sketch I don’t see a way to generate a param.json file. Did I miss it or does it not exist?

11 years ago I can't help but feel that the sketch framework is too complex and over-engineered. The use of defaults looks fine, given the reason for needing them, but all the multi-dimensional arrays and wrapping make the actual CFEngine promises quite opaque. I would prefer a way to put the validation in an editing tool, or cf-sketch itself rather than cluttering a documentation language with technicalities.
I'm working on a simpler approach to see if we can use the base language more respectfully. In the mean time, it is fantastic that you are contributing to the cases., Nick.

If you have a moment, take a look. I have been playing with defaults recently, they are used in the sketch, probably wont ever be triggered if your using cf-sketch to configure the sketch.
Anyway this sketch manages the existence (or non existence) of a named tmux session. You can give it config options and a command. I use something similar to make sure that my irssi client is up on my server.
1) I'm not convinced about variable names or sketch names 2) I'm not sure about the meta entry for vars[tmux_config][type]" string => "SLIST"; I dont think SLIST is a valid type. Needs to be a string that gets split inside the sketch? 3) its not namespaced yet.

11 years ago Hi Mark,
I think Nick wanted a review of how the sketch he wrote fits the current DC language. I think we should start a separate discussion, in an issue here or on the mailing list or in private, about how the DC language may change in the future according to your vision.

Doesn't exist, but sounds like a useful feature. Could you please open a separate issue for this so I don't forget?
