Ruben FiszelandClaude Opus 4.8 380cf752ca fix(prompts): prefer Bun over Deno for TypeScript runtime selection (#10253)
Make the AI prompting instructions explicitly pick Bun as the default and
preferred TypeScript runtime, and treat Deno as the exception (only when a
script specifically requires the Deno runtime: Deno stdlib or deno.land URL
imports).

Previously the `write-script-bun` and `write-script-deno` skill descriptions
both read as equally valid TypeScript defaults ("MUST use when writing
Bun/TypeScript scripts" vs "MUST use when writing Deno/TypeScript scripts"),
giving no signal on which to choose for a generic TypeScript request.

Source-of-truth edits (system_prompts/utils.py LANGUAGE_METADATA,
languages/bun.md, languages/deno.md, cli/src/guidance/core.ts) then
regenerated via system_prompts/generate.py into the auto-generated skills,
prompts, and cli/src/guidance/skills.gen.ts.

Fixes WIN-2220

# TypeScript (Bun)
Bun runtime with full npm ecosystem and fastest execution. **Bun is the default and preferred TypeScript runtime** — choose it for any TypeScript script unless there is a major reason to use Deno for that specific use-case.
## Structure
Export a single **async** function called `main`:
```typescript
export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) {
// Your code here
return { result: param1, count: param2 };
}
```
Do not call the main function. Libraries are installed automatically.
## Resource Types
On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.
Use the `RT` namespace for resource types:
```typescript
export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) {
// stripe contains API key and config from the resource
}
```
Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace.
Before using a resource type, check the `rt.d.ts` file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by `wmill resource-type generate-namespace`.
## Imports
```typescript
import Stripe from "stripe";
import { someFunction } from "some-package";
```
## Prefer `//native` when the runtime allows it
If a script only needs `fetch` and the JavaScript standard library — including when it uses `windmill-client` — prefer making it a **native** script: add `//native` as the first line and write it with the `write-script-bunnative` skill. Native scripts run on a lightweight V8 isolate, start faster, and parallelize heavily. `windmill-client` works on the native worker (its calls go over `fetch`), so needing the Windmill client is **not** a reason to avoid `//native`. Use the regular `bun` language only when the code (or a dependency) needs Node/Bun runtime APIs — `node:*` modules, the filesystem, child processes, or native addons.
## Windmill Client
Import the windmill client for platform interactions:
```typescript
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
```
**Prefer `windmill-client` over raw `fetch` for anything that talks to Windmill** — reading resources/variables/states, running scripts and flows, S3 object operations, etc. It handles auth, the workspace, and the base URL for you, so you don't hand-roll URLs or tokens. Reserve `fetch` for calling *external* HTTP APIs that aren't Windmill.
The full `windmill-client` API reference (every exported function and its signature) is included in this skill below — consult it for the exact method to use instead of guessing or falling back to `fetch`.
## Preprocessor Scripts
For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named `preprocessor` and receives an `event` parameter:
```typescript
type Event = {
kind:
| "webhook"
| "http"
| "websocket"
| "kafka"
| "email"
| "nats"
| "postgres"
| "sqs"
| "mqtt"
| "gcp";
body: any;
headers: Record<string, string>;
query: Record<string, string>;
};
export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
return {
param1: event.body.field1,
param2: event.query.id,
};
}
```
## S3 Object Operations
Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations. The `wmill.S3Object` type covers both the `s3://storage/key` URI form (`s3:///key` for the workspace default storage) and the `{ s3, storage? }` record form — always use it instead of redefining your own.
### Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
```typescript
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
export async function main(file: wmill.S3Object) {
const content = await wmill.loadS3File(file);
// ...
}
```
### S3 operations
```typescript
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
// Load file content from S3
const content: Uint8Array = await wmill.loadS3File(s3object);
// Load file as stream
const blob: Blob = await wmill.loadS3FileStream(s3object);
// Write file to S3
const result: wmill.S3Object = await wmill.writeS3File(
s3object, // Target path (or undefined to auto-generate)
fileContent, // string or Blob
s3ResourcePath // Optional: specific S3 resource to use
);
```
