There is no REPL magic. I write the service in chunks that I *could*
run separately (like the start command). The rest I just write, and
then build a system with “guix system build” until it works.
Your assumption that there’s some guarded secret knowledge is wrong.

No, I don’t. I answered a vague question with what I hoped would be
helpful. My bad. I won’t do it again.
This is not the first time that my attempt to answer your question is
just met with a barrage of criticism, so I won’t expose myself to this
situation again.
