Build the Vision window, then prove it in a fresh client.
This single download combines the Ignition 8.3 Vision lifecycle skill with its version-matched Vision Jython companion. One skill handles Gateway discovery, project resources, client launch, screenshots, and diagnostics. The other keeps code that runs inside Vision aligned with Ignition 8.3.8, Jython 2.7.4, Client scope, Swing components, and the exact event context.
Why it was made
- Separates project-resource operations from Jython that executes inside a Vision Client, so the agent does not mix Gateway and Client scope.
- Checks the exact Gateway build, Vision module, target project, inheritance, dependencies, and current resource state before a change.
- Requires a fresh client for runtime or visual claims instead of trusting Designer state, a saved resource, or one successful HTTP response.
- Pairs screenshots and interaction checks with Client error evidence and a correlated Gateway WARN+ window.
- Treats resource structure, runtime values, pixels, and process-specific logs as separate evidence planes that must agree.
Common use cases
- Create or update Vision windows, component trees, bindings, navigation, and project dependencies on Ignition 8.3.8.
- Write or review component events, extension functions, Client message handlers, and project-library calls in Jython 2.7.4.
- Launch a fresh Vision Client, click through the requested workflow, capture screenshots, and inspect Client and Gateway diagnostics.
- Validate window geometry, component placement, label clearance, data flow, and behavior after a Gateway restart or client reconnect.
- Troubleshoot a Vision resource while preserving a bounded rollback and clear unproven boundaries.
Proof style
Validate the artifact, not the promise.
A saved window is not enough. The skill requires exact resource readback and, for runtime or visual claims, a fresh-client launch, interaction evidence, screenshots where useful, geometry review, Client diagnostics, and a correlated bounded Gateway log check.
Example prompt
Use the Ignition 8.3 Vision Module skill and its Vision Jython companion to build [describe the window] in [project and path] on this Gateway. Discover the live OpenAPI contract and current resource state first, use official API operations when supported and llmImport only for demonstrated gaps, then read the saved resource back exactly. Launch a fresh Vision Client, click through the workflow, capture useful screenshots, check geometry and label clearance, and review the correlated Client and Gateway logs. Clearly label anything you could not verify.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 exact Gateway build, Vision module, project, inheritance, resource identity, and selected control plane.
- Returns a bounded change plan plus version-correct Vision Jython for the exact event or project-library context.
- Reads saved resources back before launching a fresh client and exercising the requested workflow.
- Reports structure, runtime values, screenshots, geometry, Client errors, Gateway logs, rollback state, and unproven boundaries separately.
