centdix 435de95e7d feat(cli): use local scripts when previewing flows (#8365)
* feat(cli): use local scripts when previewing flows

When previewing a flow, PathScript modules (type: "script") now resolve
to local file content instead of remote versions. This ensures flow
preview and dev mode test the actual local changes.

* test(cli): add tests for PathScript local replacement in flow preview

Unit tests for replacePathScriptsWithLocal covering:
- basic PathScript→RawScript conversion
- tag_override preservation
- missing local file fallback
- mixed module types
- nested structures (loops, branches)

Integration test verifying flow preview with a PathScript step
uses the local script file content.

System Prompts

This directory contains the single source of truth for AI system prompts used by both the frontend copilot and CLI guidance.

Structure

system_prompts/
├── base/              # Core instruction templates (manually written)
├── languages/         # Language-specific instructions (manually written)
└── auto-generated/    # Auto-generated files (DO NOT EDIT)
    ├── sdks/          # SDK documentation
    ├── cli/           # CLI command documentation
    ├── prompts.ts     # TypeScript exports
    └── index.ts       # Helper functions

Usage

Regenerating Prompts

When SDK methods or the OpenFlow schema change, run:

python system_prompts/generate.py

This will:

  1. Parse TypeScript and Python SDK files to extract function signatures
  2. Parse the OpenFlow YAML schema
  3. Parse the CLI commands
  4. Assemble complete prompts from markdown files
  5. Generate TypeScript exports in auto-generated/

Scope

These system prompts contain ONLY:

  • How to write Windmill scripts (language syntax, conventions, SDK usage)
  • How to structure Windmill flows (OpenFlow schema, module types, data flow)
  • Resource type handling, S3 operations

They DO NOT contain:

  • Tool usage instructions (edit_code, set_flow_json, etc.)
  • IDE/editor specific commands
  • Testing tool invocations

Tool instructions are added separately by the frontend and CLI.

Integration

Frontend

Uses Vite path alias $system_prompts pointing to auto-generated/:

import { FLOW_GUIDANCE } from "$system_prompts/flow";
import { getLangContext } from "$system_prompts/languages";

CLI

Generates /cli/src/guidance/skills.ts with embedded skill content for wmill init.

Editing Guidelines

  • Edit markdown files in base/, languages/
  • Never edit files in auto-generated/ directly
  • After editing, run generate.py to update exports
