Use this skill when building AI agents with aiAgent(): instructions, custom models, tools, skills (always-on and lazy), MCP servers, memory, fluent configuration, sub-agents and multi-agent hierarchies, streaming, middleware (logging, retry, guardrails, flight recorder), human in the loop approvals with suspend/resume, run control (cancelRun/steerRun), and gateways (aiGateway, aiGatewaySession).
Use this skill when creating AI tools (function calling) with aiTool(): parameter descriptions, tool registries, using tools with aiChat() and agents, the aiToolRegistry() BIF (register, scanClass with @AITool annotations, built-in tool sets), aiGlobalSkills(), and best practices for tool design.

Use this skill when building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems with BoxLang AI: aiDocuments() loaders, chunking and toMemory() ingestion, aiEmbed() embeddings and providers, vector memory stores, retrieval with getRelevant(), and exposing retrieval to agents as a tool.
Use this skill when building AI pipelines with BoxLang AI: aiMessage() templates, aiModel() steps, aiTransform() steps and extractors, aiParallel(), chaining with .to() and .transform(), the _input system variable, multi-model pipelines, streaming pipelines, and structured output in pipelines.
Use this skill when configuring AI models with aiModel(): selecting providers, the full provider list with capabilities and API key resolution, setting default parameters, using aiService(), and pre-configuring providers in module settings (provider, apiKey, defaultParams, providers).

Use this skill when implementing memory in BoxLang AI: aiMemory() types (window, summary, session, file, cache, jdbc, hybrid, vector stores), multi-tenant isolation with userId and conversationId, the memory API, using memory with agents, and choosing the right memory type.
Use this skill when writing BoxLang AI chat code: aiChat(), aiChatAsync(), aiChatStream(), aiMessage(), params (temperature, max_tokens, model), options (provider, apiKey, returnFormat, timeout), provider selection, return formats, multi-turn conversations, normalized reasoning, and error handling.
Use this skill when working with audio in bx-ai: text-to-speech with aiSpeak(), streaming speech with aiSpeakStream() (voice agents, telephony, browser playback), speech-to-text with aiTranscribe(), audio translation with aiTranslate(), choosing audio providers (Cartesia, ElevenLabs, OpenAI, Mistral, Gemini, Grok, Groq), voice gender keywords, and audio events and settings.
Set up and write a blog, versioned docs, translated (i18n) locales, and numbered courses in bx-sites (ortus-boxlang/bx-sites) - docs/blog/posts frontmatter and authors.yml, post:new, categories/archives/RSS, docs/versions/ and i18n:new, composing versions with locales, theme-chrome translation strings, redirects (frontmatter redirect_from and bxsites.yaml's redirects), and docs/data/courses.yaml with per-lesson progress tracking. Use this whenever a user wants to add a blog post, cut a new docs version, add a translated locale, keep an old URL working after a page moves, or turn a set of pages into a guided lesson-by-lesson course. For the ::: course ::: index block itself, see bx-sites-content-blocks.
Choose, customize, override, install, or write a theme for a bx-sites (ortus-boxlang/bx-sites) site - the 10 built-in themes, air-gapped/offline considerations, the ThemeProvider contract (layout.bxm/page.bxm, plus optional search.bxm/blog.bxm/blog-page.bxm and any frontmatter-named layout), the layout: frontmatter key (outer shell + body), bootstrap's marketing homepage (home.bxm), color-only customization via extraCss, ejecting/overriding a theme, writing one from scratch, installing a published theme from ForgeBox, importing an mkdocs/jekyll/hugo theme, and the homepage hero banner. Use this whenever a user wants to change a bx-sites site's look, brand colors, or write/override its templates.
Use this skill when setting up or developing BoxLang on a Chromebook, including enabling Linux development environment, installing Java 21, installing BoxLang, setting up VS Code with the BoxLang extension, and troubleshooting ARM/Intel Chromebook issues.

Use this skill when you need the evaluate() BIF in BoxLang for legacy CFML migration or dynamic expression evaluation. This module is explicitly opt-in due to security risks and should be avoided in new code.
Use this skill when building BoxLang desktop applications with Electron and the BoxLang MiniServer, including process lifecycle wiring, miniserver.json-driven development control, runtime/Package.bx packaging, .boxlang-dev.json versus .boxlang.json behavior, default /app and /public mappings, and cross-platform packaging constraints.

Use this skill when executing Python code inside BoxLang with the bx-jython module: jythonEval(), jythonEvalFile(), the bx:jython component, variable bindings from the BoxLang variables scope, and inter-language result handling.
Use this skill when containerizing BoxLang applications with Docker, including choosing the right image variant, running scripts, the MiniServer web runtime, environment variables, health checks, volume mounts, Docker Compose, and production deployment patterns.
