* feat: lint AI agent tool names and flow groups in wmill lint * refactor: assemble chat and CLI AI guidance from one topic table * feat: share flow groups, reuse and pipeline guidance with the CLI skills * feat: share raw app, data table and secret guidance between chat and CLI * docs: document the shared AI guidance source for contributors * fix: keep wmill lint running on flows with malformed collections * fix: reject skill descriptions that are not plain YAML text * fix: tighten fence typos, script base scope and app prompt order * fix: skip tool name checks on agent steps linked to a saved agent * fix: catch any misspelled prompt fence and soften the tool name claim * fix: align cli eval harness with the files and steps wmill init adds * fix: drop cli eval checks that expect unrequested deploy commands * fix: list ansible as mainless and c# Main in script base guidance

Windmill Script Writing Guide
General Principles
- A script's inputs are its parameters. Credentials and configuration come in as resource-typed parameters, never hard-coded or read from the environment; the language section below shows how that language declares parameters
- Libraries are installed automatically - do not show installation instructions
- In a language with an entrypoint function (TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, PHP, R, …), name it
main(Mainin C#) and do not call it; in TypeScript it must be async. SQL, GraphQL, Bash, PowerShell and Ansible scripts have nomain: their language section shows how they take arguments - Where the language has a Windmill client (
wmill), use it to interact with the platform
Return Values
- A script can return any JSON-serializable value; a SQL script returns the rows its query produces
- Return values become available to subsequent flow steps via
results.step_id
Preprocessor Scripts
Preprocessor scripts process raw trigger data from various sources (webhook, custom HTTP route, SQS, WebSocket, Kafka, NATS, MQTT, AMQP, Postgres, GCP Pub/Sub, Azure, or email) before passing it to the flow. This separates the trigger logic from the flow logic and keeps the auto-generated UI clean.
A preprocessor is written in TypeScript or Python: its function is named preprocessor instead of main, and it receives a single parameter called event (the language section gives its type).
The returned object determines the parameter values passed to the flow.
e.g., { b: 1, a: 2 } calls the flow with a = 2 and b = 1, assuming the flow has two inputs called a and b.
