I edited the comment to add some additional details.

Am I not supposed to load or compile the contents of an `.asd` file?

No you do not have to. ASDF knows where to find your ASD files:

https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/asdf.html#Configuring-ASDF-to-f...

Personally I use the (:tree (:home "dev/lisp")) form.

Thanks a lot for this actually. I just gave it a shot and it seems to have been the piece I've been missing.

You can load the contents of a .asd file (this can be useful when developing on versions other than what you want in your ASDF search path). It is unnecessary outside of that use case though.

Just don't put a node_modules/ in there!
