What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents setup mistakes and deployment failures when working with the ServiceNow SDK by guiding you through authentication, project scaffolding, build→deploy sequencing, and environment validation with correct, current CLI syntax.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project scaffolding & template selection: Guides you to choose the right now-sdk init template based on whether you need server-side logic and/or a React/Vue UI page, then scaffolds a working Fluent DSL project.
• Correct auth setup using named aliases: Provides the safe workflow for configuring Basic or OAuth authentication via now-sdk auth --add (including the alias pattern) and verification via now-sdk auth --list.
• Build→deploy lifecycle with guardrails: Enforces a safe sequence (build first, then install) and includes post-deploy verification steps to confirm the correct version and state landed on the instance.
• Environment validation: Uses a checklist-style approach to verify Node/npm/SDK and the presence/shape of project config before you start SDK work.

Quick Start

Ask the AI: “Set up my ServiceNow SDK project from scratch—what should I run to create the project, configure OAuth with an alias, build it, deploy it, and verify the installed version?”
