27
- **Critical Rule from OpenCode:** External instructions (this file) are "mandatory instructions that override defaults" - you MUST comply with everything in this document.
23
+ ```javascript
24
+ // ALWAYS do this FIRST - even for simple user requests!
25

- ## 🧠 BEHAVIORAL CORE PRINCIPLES
35
+ ```javascript
36
+ // ALWAYS do this BEFORE creating any artifacts!
37
+ const updateSet = await snow_update_set_manage({
38
+ action: "create",
39
+ name: "Feature: [Descriptive Name]",
40
+ description: "What and why"
41
+ });
42
+ ```
32
43
 
33
- ### Principle 1: Lazy Loading & Context Management
44
+ ### Step 3: Do Your Development Work
34
45
 
35
- **Why This Matters:**
36
- MCP servers add significant context. Loading all 410 tools simultaneously would exceed token limits and waste resources.
46
+ ```javascript
47
+ // NOW you can create artifacts
48
+ const artifact = await snow_create_business_rule({ /* config */ });
49
+ ```
37
50
 
38
- **How You Must Operate:**
39
- - **Load tools on-demand**: Only invoke tools when the user's task requires them
40
- - **File references**: When you see `@filename` references, load them only when directly relevant to the current task
41
- - **Context awareness**: Track your context usage - if approaching limits, summarize and compress previous work
42
- - **Tool discovery**: Use tool metadata (category, subcategory, frequency, complexity) to find the right tool quickly
51
+ ### Step 4: Log Each Artifact
43
52
 
44
- **Example Decision Process:**
53
+ ```javascript
54
+ // After EACH artifact, log it!
55
+ await activity_add_artifact({
56
+ activityId: activityId,
57
+ artifactType: "business_rule",
58
+ artifactName: "My Business Rule",
59
+ artifactSysId: artifact.sys_id
60
+ });
45
61
  ```
46
- User: "Create a workspace for incident management"
47
- Your thinking:
48
- ✅ Task requires: UI Builder workspace tools (category: ui-frameworks → workspace)
49
- ✅ Primary tool: snow_create_complete_workspace (high-level, one-call solution)
50
- Context needed: Workspace creation parameters only
51
- Don't load: Widget development tools, CMDB tools, ML tools (not needed now)
62
+
63
+ ### Step 5: Complete Activity
64
+
65
+ ```javascript
66
+ // When done, complete the activity
67
+ await activity_complete({
68
+ activityId: activityId,
69
+ summary: "Created Business Rule for X. Update Set: Y."
70

- **DO:**

- - ✅ Execute tools immediately and show results
60
- - ✅ Make real changes in ServiceNow
61
- - ✅ Report what you accomplished: "Created business rule 'Auto-assign incidents' with sys_id abc123"
84
+ **Rule of thumb:** If you're CREATING or MODIFYING a ServiceNow artifact → Activity + Update Set FIRST!

63
- **DON'T:**

- - ❌ Explain what you "would do" without doing it
65
- - Show code examples without executing them

+ ### Tool Selection Priority
401
434
 
402
- **Step 1: Categorize the User Request**
403
- ```
404
- User request pattern → Task category → Tool category → Specific tool
405
-
406
- Examples:
407
- "Create workspace for IT support"
408
- → CREATE NEW
409
- → UI Frameworks (workspace)
410
- → snow_create_complete_workspace
411
-
412
- "Fix widget that won't submit form"
413
- → DEBUG/FIX
414
- → Local Development (widget sync)
415
- → snow_pull_artifact
416
-
417
- "Show me all high-priority incidents"
418
- → QUERY DATA
419
- → Core Operations (incidents)
420
- → snow_query_incidents
421
-
422
- "Create business rule for auto-assignment"
423
- → CREATE NEW
424
- → Platform Development
425
- → snow_create_business_rule
426
- ```
427
-
428
- **Step 2: Tool Selection Priority**
429
435
  1. **Specific tool > Generic tool**
430
436
  - Use `snow_query_incidents` instead of `snow_query_table({ table: 'incident' })`
431
- - Use `snow_create_uib_page` instead of `snow_record_manage({ table: 'sys_ux_page' })`
432
437
 
433
438
  2. **High-level tool > Low-level script**
434
439
  - Use `snow_create_complete_workspace` instead of manual GlideRecord operations
435
- - Use dedicated tools instead of `snow_execute_script_with_output` when possible
436
440
 
437
- 3. **Merged tool > Individual actions** (v8.2.0+)
438
- - Use `snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'create' })` instead of searching for `snow_update_set_create`
439
- - Use `snow_property_manage({ action: 'get' })` instead of `snow_property_get`
440
-
441
- 4. **Local sync > Query for large artifacts**
441
+ 3. **Local sync > Query for large artifacts**
442
442
  - Use `snow_pull_artifact` for widget debugging (avoids token limits!)
443
- - Use `snow_query_table` only for small metadata lookups
444
-
445
- **Step 3: Mandatory Update Set Check**
446
-
447
- ```
448
- Is this a development task? (Creating/modifying ServiceNow artifacts)
449
- YES → Did I create an Update Set?
450
- YES → Proceed with tool
451
- NO → STOP! Create Update Set first!
452
- NO → Proceed (queries, analysis, etc. don't need Update Sets)
453
- ```
454
-
455
- ### Common Task Patterns
456
-
457
- **Pattern 1: Widget Development**
458
- ```javascript
459
- // 1. UPDATE SET FIRST
460
- await snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'create', name: "Feature: X" });
461
-
462
- // 2. CREATE WIDGET
463
- await snow_create_artifact({
464
- type: 'sp_widget',
465
- name: 'incident_dashboard',
466
- title: 'Incident Dashboard',
467
- template: '<div>{{data.message}}</div>',
468
- server_script: 'data.message = "Hello World";', // ES5 only!
469
- client_script: 'function($scope) { var c = this; }'
470
- });
471
-
472
- // 3. VERIFY
473
- const deployed = await snow_query_table({
474
- table: 'sp_widget',
475
- query: 'name=incident_dashboard',
476
- fields: ['sys_id', 'name']
477
- });
478
-
479
- // 4. COMPLETE UPDATE SET
480
- await snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'complete' });
481
- ```
482
-
483
- **Pattern 2: Widget Debugging**
484
- ```javascript
485
- // 1. UPDATE SET FIRST
486
- await snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'create', name: "Fix: Widget Form Submit" });
487
-
488
- // 2. PULL TO LOCAL (NOT snow_query_table!)
489
- await snow_pull_artifact({
490
- sys_id: 'widget_sys_id',
491
- table: 'sp_widget'
492
- });
493
- // Now files are local: widget_sys_id/html.html, server.js, client.js, css.scss
494
-
495
- // 3. EDIT LOCALLY
496
- // Use native file editing tools to fix the widget
497
-
498
- // 4. PUSH BACK
499
- await snow_push_artifact({ sys_id: 'widget_sys_id' });
500
-
501
- // 5. COMPLETE UPDATE SET
502
- await snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'complete' });
503
- ```
504
-
505
- **Pattern 3: Business Rule Creation**
506
- ```javascript
507
- // 1. UPDATE SET FIRST
508
- await snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'create', name: "Feature: Auto-Assignment" });
509
-
510
- // 2. CREATE BUSINESS RULE (ES5 ONLY!)
511
- await snow_create_business_rule({
512
- name: "Auto-assign incidents",
513
- table: "incident",
514
- when: "before",
515
- insert: true,
516
- active: true,
517
- script: `
518
- // ES5 SYNTAX ONLY!
519
- var category = current.category.toString();
520
- var location = current.location.toString();
521
-
522
- // Traditional for loop, NOT for...of
523
- var groups = getAssignmentGroups(category, location);
524
- for (var i = 0; i < groups.length; i++) {
525
- if (groups[i].available) {
526
- current.assignment_group = groups[i].sys_id;
527
- break;
528
- }
529
- }
530
- `
531
- });
532
-
533
- // 3. TEST
534
- await snow_execute_script_with_output({
535
- script: `
536
- var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_script');
537
- gr.addQuery('name', 'Auto-assign incidents');
538
- gr.query();
539
- if (gr.next()) {
540
- gs.info('Business rule created: ' + gr.sys_id);
541
- }
542
- `
543
- });
544
-
545
- // 4. COMPLETE UPDATE SET
546
- await snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'complete' });
547
- ```
548
-
549
- **Pattern 4: Data Analysis (No Update Set Needed)**
550
- ```javascript
551
- // Querying and analysis don't need Update Sets
552
- const incidents = await snow_query_incidents({
553
- filters: { active: true, priority: 1 },
554
- include_metrics: true,
555
- limit: 100
556
- });
557
-
558
- console.log(`Found ${incidents.length} high-priority active incidents`);
559
-
560
- // Analyze patterns
561
- const categories = {};
562
- for (var i = 0; i < incidents.length; i++) {
563
- var cat = incidents[i].category;
564
- categories[cat] = (categories[cat] || 0) + 1;
565
- }
566
-
567
- console.log('Incidents by category:', categories);
568
- ```
569
-
570
- ### Context Management Strategy
571
-
572
- **You have 410+ tools across 18 MCP servers** - but loading all of them would exceed your context window.
573
-
574
- **Smart Loading Strategy:**
575
-
576
- ```
577
- User task → Identify required category → Load only relevant server tools
578
-
579
- Examples:
580
- "Create workspace"
581
- → UI Frameworks (workspace, ui-builder)
582
- → Load: ~30 tools from servicenow-flow-workspace-mobile server
583
-
584
- "Fix incident assignment"
585
- → ITSM + Automation
586
- → Load: ~25 tools from servicenow-operations + servicenow-automation
587
-
588
- "Deploy widget"
589
- → Development + Local Sync
590
- → Load: ~20 tools from servicenow-deployment + servicenow-local-development
591
- ```
592
-
593
- **Tool Metadata (Use This!):**
594
- ```javascript
595
- {
596
- category: 'ui-frameworks', // Main category
597
- subcategory: 'workspace', // Specific subcategory
598
- use_cases: ['workspace-creation'], // What it's for
599
- complexity: 'intermediate', // beginner | intermediate | advanced | expert
600
- frequency: 'high' // very-high | high | medium | low
601
- }
602
- ```
603
-
604
- **Categories Overview:**
605
- 1. **core-operations** (very-high frequency): CRUD, queries, properties
606
- 2. **development** (very-high): update-sets, deployment, local-sync
607
- 3. **ui-frameworks** (high): ui-builder, workspace, service-portal
608
- 4. **automation** (high): script-execution, flow-designer, scheduling
609
- 5. **integration** (medium): rest-soap, transform-maps, import-export
610
- 6. **itsm** (high): incident, change, problem, knowledge, catalog
611
- 7. **cmdb** (medium): ci-management, discovery, relationships
612
- 8. **ml-analytics** (medium): predictive-intelligence, performance-analytics
613
- 9. **advanced** (low-medium): specialized, batch-operations
614
-
615
- **Use Lazy Loading:**
616
- - Don't preemptively explore all tools
617
- - Load tool documentation only when task requires it
618
- - Prefer high-frequency tools over low-frequency for common tasks

- **Why This Error Happens:**
680
- - MCP tools communicate via **Model Context Protocol** (server ↔ client)
681
- - They are **NOT** npm packages you can `require()`
682
- - They are **NOT** CLI commands you can run in bash
683
- - Attempting bash + node -e causes **Parser3.init errors** in SnowCode

  ### Anti-Pattern 4: Assuming Instead of Verifying
750
513
 
751

752
- // ❌ WRONG: Assuming table doesn't exist
515
+ // ❌ WRONG - Assuming
753
516
  "The table u_custom_routing doesn't exist because it's not standard."

756
- const tableCheck = await snow_execute_script_with_output({
518
+ // ✅ CORRECT - Verify first
519
+ const check = await snow_execute_script_with_output({

520
  script: `

521
  var gr = new GlideRecord('u_custom_routing');
759
522
  gs.info('Table exists: ' + gr.isValid());
760
523
  `
761
524
  });
762
-
763
- if (tableCheck.includes('Table exists: true')) {
764
- // Table exists, proceed with it
765
- } else {
766
- // Table doesn't exist, suggest creating it or alternative approach
767
- }
768
- ```
769
-
770
- **Evidence-Based Development:**
771
- 1. If user's code references it → probably exists
772
- 2. If documentation mentions it → check the instance
773
- 3. If error occurs → verify the error, don't assume cause
774
- 4. If something seems wrong → test before declaring broken

- ## 📚 SNOWCODE FRAMEWORK INTEGRATION
529
+ ## 🎯 DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS
824
530
 
825
- ### Instruction Loading Pattern
531
+ ### Pattern 1: Complete Widget Development
826
532
 
827
- **You are operating within SnowCode framework**, which follows specific instruction loading patterns:
533
+ ```javascript
534
+ // 1. Pre-flight: Activity + Update Set
535
+ const activity = await activity_start({
536
+ source: "request",
537
+ storyTitle: "Create incident dashboard widget"
538
+ });
539
+ const updateSet = await snow_update_set_manage({
540
+ action: 'create',
541
+ name: "Feature: Incident Dashboard Widget"
542
+ });
828
543
 
829
- ```
830
- Priority hierarchy:
831
- 1. User's direct message (highest)
832
- 2. AGENTS.md (this file - mandatory override)
833
- 3. @file references (lazy-loaded when needed)
834
- 4. Default AI behavior (lowest)
835
- ```
544
+ // 2. Create Widget (ES5 only!)
545
+ const widget = await snow_create_artifact({
546
+ type: 'sp_widget',
547
+ name: 'incident_dashboard',
548
+ title: 'Incident Dashboard',
549
+ template: '<div ng-repeat="item in data.items">{{item.number}}</div>',
550
+ server_script: `(function() {
551
+ data.items = [];
552
+ var gr = new GlideRecord('incident');
553
+ gr.addQuery('active', true);
554
+ gr.setLimit(10);
555
+ gr.query();
556
+ while (gr.next()) {
557
+ data.items.push({
558
+ number: gr.number.toString(),
559
+ short_description: gr.short_description.toString()
560
+ });
561
+ }
562
+ })();`,
563
+ client_script: 'function($scope) { var c = this; }'
564
+ });
836
565
 
837
- **File Reference Handling:**
838
- - When you see `@filename.md`, treat it as contextual guidance
839
- - Load these files **only when the task directly requires that knowledge**
840
- - Don't preemptively load all @ references (context waste)
566
+ // 3. Log artifact
567
+ await activity_add_artifact({
568
+ activityId: activity.activityId,
569
+ artifactType: 'widget',
570
+ artifactName: 'incident_dashboard',
571
+ artifactSysId: widget.sys_id
572
+ });
841
573
 
842
- **Example:**
843
- ```
844
- User: "Create an incident widget with the @incident-sla-config.md guidelines"
574
+ // 4. Get instance URL for user
575
+ const info = await snow_get_instance_info();
576
+ console.log(`Preview: ${info.data.instance_url}/sp?id=incident_dashboard`);
845
577
 
846
- Your process:
847
- 1. Recognize @incident-sla-config.md reference
848
- 2. Load that file content to understand SLA requirements
849
- 3. Apply those guidelines to widget creation
850
- 4. Don't load other @files not mentioned
578
+ // 5. Complete
579
+ await activity_complete({
580
+ activityId: activity.activityId,
581
+ summary: "Created incident dashboard widget"
582
+ });
583
+ await snow_update_set_manage({
584
+ action: 'complete',
585
+ update_set_id: updateSet.sys_id
586
+ });
851
587
  ```
852
588
 
853
- ### MCP Server Configuration Awareness
854
-
855
- **Context Management:**
856
- - MCP servers add to your context window
857
- - Some servers (e.g., GitHub MCP) are token-heavy
858
- - You can't control which servers are enabled (user's .snowcode/config.json)
859
- - Adapt to available tools - if a tool doesn't exist, suggest alternatives
589
+ ### Pattern 2: Widget Debugging
860
590
 
861
- **Tool Reference Pattern:**
862
591
  ```javascript
863
- // Document MCP tool usage clearly for users
864
- "I'm using the snow_create_workspace tool from the servicenow-flow-workspace-mobile MCP server"
865
-
866
- // If uncertain, verify tool availability first
867
- // Most tools follow pattern: snow_<action>_<resource>
868
- ```
869
-
870
- ---
871
-
872
- ## 🔗 PROACTIVE INFORMATION FETCHING
873
-
874
- ### CRITICAL RULE: Always Fetch Instance URL First
875
-
876
- **NEVER provide placeholder URLs. ALWAYS fetch the actual instance URL first.**
592
+ // 1. Update Set first
593
+ await snow_update_set_manage({
594
+ action: 'create',
595
+ name: "Fix: Widget Form Submit Issue"
596
+ });
877
597
 
878
- When you need to provide a ServiceNow URL to the user:
879
- 1. **AUTOMATICALLY** call `snow_get_instance_info` FIRST (without asking)
880
- 2. **THEN** construct the full URL using the actual instance URL
881
- 3. **NEVER** use placeholders like `[je-instance].service-now.com` or `[your-instance]`
598
+ // 2. Pull to local (NOT snow_query_table!)
599
+ await snow_pull_artifact({
600
+ sys_id: 'widget_sys_id',
601
+ table: 'sp_widget'
602
+ });
603
+ // Files now local: widget_sys_id/html.html, server.js, client.js, css.scss
882
604
 
883
- **Examples:**
605
+ // 3. Edit locally with native file tools
884
606
 
885
- **WRONG - Placeholder URL:**
886
- ```
887
- The URL is: https://[je-instance].service-now.com/sys_update_set.do?sys_id=123
888
- ```
607
+ // 4. Push back
608
+ await snow_push_artifact({ sys_id: 'widget_sys_id' });
889
609
 
890
- **CORRECT - Actual URL:**
891
- ```javascript
892
- // First, get instance info (do this automatically!)
893
- const info = await snow_get_instance_info()
894
- // Then provide the actual URL
895
- const url = `${info.data.instance_url}/sys_update_set.do?sys_id=123`
610
+ // 5. Complete Update Set
611
+ await snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'complete' });
896
612
  ```
897
613
 
898
- **This applies to ALL ServiceNow URLs:**
899
- - Update Set URLs
900
- - Record URLs
901
- - Table URLs
902
- - Widget URLs
903
- - Any UI links
904
-
905
- ### Proactive Tool Usage Patterns
906
-
907
- **Don't wait for the user to ask - be proactive!**
908
-
909
- #### Instance Information
910
- - When discussing URLs → Automatically use `snow_get_instance_info`
911
- - When checking configuration → Automatically use `snow_get_instance_info`
912
- - When verifying connection → Automatically use `snow_get_instance_info`
913
-
914
- #### Update Set Operations
915
- - When user mentions "update set" → Automatically check current with `snow_update_set_current`
916
- - When starting development → Automatically create update set if none active
917
- - After creating artifacts → Automatically provide full URL with instance info
918
-
919
- #### Error Handling
920
- - When operations fail → Automatically check logs with `snow_get_logs`
921
- - When connection fails → Automatically verify with `snow_get_instance_info`
922
- - When scripts error → Automatically fetch execution logs
614
+ ### Pattern 3: Business Rule Creation
923
615
 
924
- #### Post-Completion Actions
925
- - After creating widgets → Automatically offer preview URL
926
- - After deployments → Automatically verify success
927
- - After queries → Automatically offer export options
928
-
929
- ### Context Awareness
930
-
931
- **Remember what you know from previous tool calls.**
616
+ ```javascript
617
+ // 1. Update Set first
618
+ await snow_update_set_manage({
619
+ action: 'create',
620
+ name: "Feature: Auto-Assignment"
621
+ });
932
622
 
933
- - If you just created an update set, you know its sys_id → Don't ask for it
934
- - If you just queried a record, you know its details → Use them
935
- - If you checked instance info, you know the URL → Reuse it
936
- - If user mentions "the widget" and you just created one, you know which one
623
+ // 2. Create Business Rule (ES5 ONLY!)
624
+ await snow_create_business_rule({
625
+ name: "Auto-assign incidents",
626
+ table: "incident",
627
+ when: "before",
628
+ insert: true,
629
+ active: true,
630
+ script: `
631
+ // ES5 SYNTAX ONLY!
632
+ var category = current.category.toString();
633
+ var location = current.location.toString();
937
634
 
938
- **Anti-Pattern:**
939
- ```
940
- User: "Open the update set"
941
- You: "Which update set do you want to open?"
942
- (You just created one 2 messages ago!)
943
- ```
635
+ // Traditional for loop, NOT for...of
636
+ var groups = getAssignmentGroups(category, location);
637
+ for (var i = 0; i < groups.length; i++) {
638
+ if (groups[i].available) {
639
+ current.assignment_group = groups[i].sys_id;
640
+ break;
641
+ }
642
+ }
643
+ `
644
+ });
944
645
 
945
- **Correct Pattern:**
946
- ```
947
- ✅ User: "Open the update set"
948
- You: "Opening the update set 'Feature: Dashboard' (sys_id: abc123) that we just created..."
949
- [Automatically constructs full URL with instance info]
646
+ // 3. Complete
647
+ await snow_update_set_manage({ action: 'complete' });
950
648
  ```
951
649
 
952
- ### Communication Style Guidelines
953
-
954
- #### Be Action-Oriented, Not Question-Oriented
955
- - ✅ "Let me fetch the instance URL and create that update set..."
956
- - ❌ "Would you like me to create an update set? What should I call it?"
957
-
958
- #### Show Results, Don't Describe Actions
959
- - ✅ [Executes tool] "Created widget 'incident_dashboard' - here's the preview URL: https://dev123.service-now.com/sp?id=..."
960
- - ❌ "You can create a widget using the snow_create_widget tool..."
650
+ ### Pattern 4: Data Query (No Update Set Needed)
961
651
 
962
- #### Provide Complete Information
963
- - "Here's the direct URL: https://dev351277.service-now.com/sys_update_set.do?sys_id=abc123"
964
- - "Here's the URL: /sys_update_set.do?sys_id=abc123"
965
-
966
- #### Smart Suggestions After Completion
967
- After completing tasks, proactively suggest next steps:
968
- - After creating widget → "Would you like me to preview it in your instance?"
969
- - After querying data → "I can export this to CSV/JSON if you'd like"
970
- - After finding errors → "Shall I help fix these issues?"
971
- - After deployment → "Would you like me to verify the deployment succeeded?"
972
-
973
- ### Common Mistakes to Avoid
974
-
975
- **❌ DON'T:**
976
- 1. Ask for information you can fetch yourself
977
- 2. Provide incomplete or placeholder URLs
978
- 3. Wait for permission to help (just do it!)
979
- 4. Give generic errors ("something went wrong")
980
- 5. Ask clarifying questions when you have context
652
+ ```javascript
653
+ // Queries don't need Update Sets
654
+ const incidents = await snow_query_incidents({
655
+ filters: { active: true, priority: 1 },
656
+ include_metrics: true,
657
+ limit: 100
658
+ });
981
659
 
982
- **✅ DO:**
983
- 1. Fetch information proactively
984
- 2. Provide complete, clickable URLs
985
- 3. Take initiative to help
986
- 4. Provide specific, actionable information
987
- 5. Use context from previous interactions
660
+ console.log(`Found ${incidents.length} high-priority active incidents`);
661
+ ```
