Use this skill when writing, reviewing, or formatting any Ortus Solutions code (BoxLang, CFML, or Java) to ensure it follows the official Ortus coding standards: indentation, spacing, brace placement, naming, alignment, comments, and structural conventions.
ortus-boxlang
Use this skill when generating API documentation for BoxLang or CFML projects with DocBox, including installation, CLI usage, programmatic configuration, HTML/JSON/UML/CommandBox output strategies, HTML themes, multiple sources, excludes patterns, and creating custom strategies. DocBox reads JavaDoc-style comments from your source code — see the code-documenter skill for annotation conventions.

Use this skill when writing BoxLang database code: queryExecute, bx:query, datasource configuration, parameterized queries, transactions, stored procedures, query manipulation, or preventing SQL injection.
ortus-boxlang
Use this skill to validate BoxLang and CFML source files for syntax errors without executing them, using the `boxlang check` command: check files or directories after editing code, read text or JSON results, interpret exit codes, and wire syntax checks into agent loops, git hooks, and CI.
ortus-boxlang
Use this skill when writing, reviewing, or improving BoxLang code to ensure it follows community best practices for naming, structure, scoping, error handling, performance, and maintainability.

Use this skill when implementing BoxLang filesystem watchers: watcherNew/watcherStart/watcherStop lifecycle BIFs, WatcherInstance APIs, event payload handling, recursive directory monitoring, debounce/throttle/atomicWrites tuning, errorThreshold auto-stop behavior, and listener patterns (closure, struct, class, class name string).
ortus-boxlang
Use this skill when working with BoxLang's interceptor/event system: creating interceptors, registering announcement points, announcing custom events with announce() or announceAsync(), building pre/post operation hooks, validation interceptors, security guards, or leveraging BoxRegisterInterceptor() BIF for standalone and module-based interception.
