SLY-ASDF is a contrib for SLY that adds support for editing ASDF systems, exposing several utilities for working with and loading systems. When using the built-in system load utlity, accessed via , + load-system from the repl, ASDF system compilation and load errors will be trapped and recorded as with other sly compilation errors, as opposed to dumping into the debugger like with calling asdf:load-system directly.
Ported from slime with changes to support package-inferred-system. Potentially I'd like to make some future changes to improve debugging ASDF systems (e.g., cut off stack trace at system boundaries, etc.)
Now available from MELPA
Installing manually will require the contrib be registered in SLY's sly-contrib variable.

SLY-ASDF currently supports a very experimental system-aware checker that builds on flymake. This loads the system in a separate process and highlights any compilation/load errors for currently opened buffers. Only tested with SBCL. Enable this with
