Ignition Perspective import zip builderNo API requiredPIZ-01 - Skill v1.0.111

Give the AI a clean way to hand you an importable Perspective page.

This skill is for the offline scenario: the agent cannot touch the Gateway, so it should deliver a portable package that targets Ignition project-resource shape, plus install notes and validation steps.

Perspective Import Zip Builder

Why it was made

  • Stops the model from handing over loose JSON that does not match Ignition resource layout.
  • Keeps customer paths, credentials, tokens, and host details out of reusable instructions.
  • Keeps Gateway-level tags, database connections, users, security, and providers outside the package claim.
  • Makes the handoff reviewable: package, dependencies, install notes, and validation checklist.

Common use cases

  • Prototype a Perspective dashboard for a customer who will import it later.
  • Package reusable views, routes, and page config for a development Gateway.
  • Create a starter faceplate or process overview without granting host access.
  • Send an integrator a concrete artifact instead of a prompt transcript.

Proof style

Validate the artifact, not the promise.

The skill pushes the AI to validate package shape offline and state what still needs to be proven inside Designer after import.

Evidence

Example package evidence

This example proves the offline project-resource package shape was created and inspected. Import success and runtime rendering still need target-side Designer or Gateway validation.

  • project.json is at the zip root.
  • Perspective page configuration uses viewPath for the route.
  • The view folder includes resource.json and view.json.
  • The generated view avoids the unsupported Flex gap prop.
  • No tag providers, Gateway URLs, credentials, or tokens are included.

Example prompt

Create a portable Ignition 8.1 Perspective import zip for a pump overview route with reusable faceplate views.

This is the kind of short 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

  • Creates an import package that targets trusted project-resource structure.
  • Preserves page config, resource metadata, view paths, and dependencies.
  • Includes install notes, validation steps, and placeholders the customer must fill in.
