ServiceNow SDK

The ServiceNow IDE and ServiceNow SDK support developing applications in source code with ServiceNow Fluent, creating JavaScript modules, and using third-party libraries. ServiceNow Fluent is a TypeScript-based domain-specific programming language for creating application metadata in code.

AI Skills

This repository contains agent skills for creating, editing, and deploying ServiceNow Fluent applications. These skills teach AI coding assistants how to use the @servicenow/sdk CLI to look up platform conventions, metadata types, and project structure before making changes.

Important

These skills rely on features available only in version 4.6.0 or newer of the SDK.

Skills

Skill	Description
now-sdk-explain	Fetches SDK documentation via npx @servicenow/sdk explain. Covers API types, metadata conventions, skills, and project structure. Automatically triggered when working in a Fluent app or when ServiceNow/Fluent topics are mentioned.
now-sdk-setup	Configures the environment (Node.js 20+, @servicenow/sdk v4.6.0+) so that now-sdk explain works. Run this if now-sdk-explain fails with environment errors.
