Use this skill when creating AI tools (function calling) with aiTool(): parameter descriptions, tool registries, using tools with aiChat() and agents, the aiToolRegistry() BIF, global skills with aiglobalSkills(), and best practices for tool design.
ortus-boxlang
Use this skill when building AI agents with aiAgent(): instructions, custom models, tools, skills (always-on and lazy), MCP servers, memory, fluent configuration, multi-agent hierarchies, streaming, and agent middleware.
Use this skill when serializing or deserializing YAML in BoxLang with the bx-yaml module: yamlSerialize(), yamlDeserialize(), yamlDeserializeFile(), serializing BoxLang classes to YAML, and custom toYAML() methods.
Use this skill to render HTML forms in BoxLang using the bx-ui-forms module: bx:form, bx:input, bx:select, bx:slider, bx:textarea components, form actions and methods, preservedata for sticky forms, input types and labels, and styling considerations.
Use this skill for deploying CommandBox applications to production: Docker with ortussolutions/commandbox image, environment variables for Docker, GitHub Actions with setup-commandbox action, Heroku/Dokku buildpack, Amazon Lightsail setup, starting as OS service, using server.json for repeatable deployments, and CFConfig for engine configuration.
ortus-boxlang
Use this skill for developing CommandBox extensions: creating custom commands (CFCs with run() method), command namespaces, parameters and tab completion, WireBox DI injection, command output with print helper, running sub-commands, creating modules (ModuleConfig.cfc), module conventions (commands/models/interceptors), interceptors, lifecycle events, custom interception points, injection DSL, user settings, and linking modules for development.
