Give an AI agent the live 8.3 contract before it changes a Perspective project.
This skill starts with the target Gateway's authenticated OpenAPI contract, then uses the smallest supported route for views, pages, bindings, scripts, navigation, and session work. Every mutation gets a bounded plan, current-state preconditions, exact configuration readback, runtime checks, and a saved Gateway log window.
Why it was made
- Prevents an agent from assuming that an Ignition 8.1 resource shape or endpoint still applies to 8.3.8.
- Keeps work inside the approved project and namespace with explicit preconditions before writes.
- Checks the saved resource, live session behavior, and bounded Gateway logs instead of treating an HTTP response as proof.
- Covers the Perspective details that usually get lost in a generic prompt, including parameters, bindings, events, messages, styles, routes, docks, popups, tables, repeaters, and navigation.
Common use cases
- Create or update reusable Perspective views and page routes on Ignition 8.3.8.
- Build bindings, view parameters, component events, messages, popups, and docked views.
- Inspect active sessions and verify navigation or runtime behavior with the supported API surface.
- Review migrated Perspective resources before promoting them from a development Gateway.
Proof style
Validate the artifact, not the promise.
A passing response is not enough. The skill requires exact resource readback plus the available session, browser, and bounded log evidence, and it labels every untested boundary.
Example prompt
Use the Ignition 8.3 Perspective Builder on this approved development Gateway. Discover the authenticated OpenAPI contract first, confirm the target project and namespace, inspect the current route and view state, and return a bounded change plan. After approval, apply only the supported changes, read the saved resources back exactly, verify the live session behavior, and summarize the bounded Gateway log window. Label anything you could not exercise as unproven.This is the kind of focused instruction the skill is designed to make useful. The value is in the checks and Ignition-specific defaults the AI uses after reading the skill.
Expected output
- Records the live Ignition build, available API operations, target project, and approved namespace.
- Returns a small change plan with collision checks, current hashes, and expected readback.
- Applies only approved resources and preserves them for review instead of cleaning up automatically.
- Separates saved configuration, session behavior, browser evidence, and Gateway logs in the final result.
