fluent

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	Covers CLI discovery, SDK documentation, and live instance queries. Automatically triggered when working in a Fluent app or when ServiceNow/Fluent topics are mentioned. Uses npx @servicenow/sdk --help and explain quickstart to orient the agent, then provides guidance for the explain and query subcommands.
