CLI Commands

Place scripts in a folder.

After writing, tell the user which command fits what they want to do:

• wmill script preview <script_path> — default when iterating on a local script. Runs the local file without deploying.
• wmill script run <path> — runs the script already deployed in the workspace. Use only when the user explicitly wants to test the deployed version, not local edits.
• wmill generate-metadata — regenerate the local .script.yaml (input schema) and .lock (resolved dependencies) for scripts you changed, and refresh their content hashes in wmill-lock.yaml. Local files only — not a deploy. See "Keep metadata in sync" below.
• Deploy local changes to the workspace — via git push or wmill sync push depending on how the repo is wired (see the Deploying section in AGENTS.wmill.md). Only suggest/run a deploy when the user explicitly asks to deploy/publish/push — not when they say "run", "try", or "test".

Preview vs run — choose by intent, not habit

If the user says "run the script", "try it", "test it", "does it work" while there are local edits to the script file, use script preview. Do NOT push the script to then script run it — pushing is a deploy, and deploying just to test overwrites the workspace version with untested changes.

Only use script run when:

• The user explicitly says "run the deployed version" / "run what's on the server".
• There is no local script being edited (you're just invoking an existing script).

Only use sync push when:

• The user explicitly asks to deploy, publish, push, or ship.
• The preview has already validated the change and the user wants it in the workspace.

Keep metadata in sync after editing

wmill-lock.yaml tracks a content hash for each item. Editing a script's content — most importantly adding or removing an import or changing main's arguments — invalidates that hash and leaves the .lock, the .script.yaml input schema, and the hash row out of date. Run wmill generate-metadata (scoped to what you touched) after such edits so the resolved lock, the auto-generated args UI (driven by .script.yaml), and wmill-lock.yaml all match the code. Leaving them stale produces spurious diffs in git-sync and CI.

This only writes local files (it is not a deploy), but it re-resolves dependencies, so it can bump unpinned versions (the same as deploying from the UI; expected, not a bug). So by default offer it and run it once the user agrees, rather than running it silently after every edit — unless the project's AGENTS.md opts into running metadata automatically (see the "Keeping metadata in sync" preference there). Either way YOU run the command, not the user. After running it, diff the regenerated .lock / .script.lock files and tell the user which dependency versions changed (e.g. requests 2.31.0 → 2.32.0), so they can catch an unwanted bump before deploying — even under Metadata: auto, since it's information, not a confirmation gate. Pin versions in code to keep them fixed.

With no path argument, generate-metadata regenerates only the items whose content hash drifted — not everything. Imports propagate: editing a script that others import marks every importer stale too, so a one-line change to a shared module can regenerate many locks (by design — their locks must reflect the imported code). If it touches more than you expect, run wmill generate-metadata --dry-run — it lists each stale item with a reason (content changed or depends on <path>) without changing anything — then narrow with a path argument (wmill generate-metadata f/foo) or --strict-folder-boundaries.

If the on-disk .lock and .script.yaml are already correct and only wmill-lock.yaml needs its hashes refreshed (hash drift, or bootstrapping missing entries), use wmill generate-metadata rehash — it re-records hashes from disk with no backend round-trip and no dependency changes.

After writing — offer to test, don't wait passively

If the user hasn't already told you to run/test/preview the script, offer it as a one-sentence next step (e.g. "Want me to run wmill script preview with sample args?"). Do not present a multi-option menu.

If the user already asked to test/run/try the script in their original request, skip the offer and just execute wmill script preview <path> -d '<args>' directly — pick plausible args from the script's declared parameters. The shape varies by language: main(...) for code languages, the SQL dialect's own placeholder syntax ($1 for PostgreSQL, ? for MySQL/Snowflake, @P1 for MSSQL, @name for BigQuery, etc.), positional $1, $2, … for Bash, param(...) for PowerShell.

wmill script preview does not deploy, but it still executes script code and may cause side effects; run it yourself when the user asked to test/preview (or after confirming that execution is intended). wmill generate-metadata does not deploy either — it only writes local files (locks, schemas, hashes) — but offer it before running (or run automatically if the project's AGENTS.md opts in), per "Keep metadata in sync" above. Deploying to the workspace (git push or wmill sync push depending on how the repo is wired — see the Deploying section) is the only step that mutates remote state — do it only when the user explicitly asks to deploy/publish/push.

For a visual open-the-script-in-the-dev-page preview (rather than script preview's run-and-print-result), use the preview skill.

Use wmill resource-type list --schema to discover available resource types.

TypeScript (Deno)

Deno runtime with npm support via npm: prefix and native Deno libraries.

Prefer Bun (write-script-bun) for TypeScript. Only use Deno when the script specifically requires the Deno runtime — Deno's standard library or deno.land URL imports that have no npm equivalent. For all other TypeScript, use Bun instead.

Structure

Export a single async function called main:

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:

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

// npm packages use npm: prefix
import Stripe from "npm:stripe";
import { someFunction } from "npm:some-package";

// Deno standard library
import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts";

Windmill Client

Import the windmill client for platform interactions:

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. 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 instead of guessing or falling back to fetch.

Preprocessor Scripts

For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named preprocessor and receives an event parameter:

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

import * as wmill from "windmill-client";

export async function main(file: wmill.S3Object) {
  const content = await wmill.loadS3File(file);
  // ...
}

S3 operations

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
);

TypeScript SDK (windmill-client)

Import: import * as wmill from 'windmill-client'

The client configures itself from the job's environment — base URL, token and credentials mode are all set before your code runs, so there is nothing to initialize and no reason to read WM_TOKEN or BASE_INTERNAL_URL and build an API URL yourself. Reconstructing that by hand only reintroduces details the client already handles. Call the SDK for anything Windmill, and use raw HTTP for third-party APIs.

The helpers below are the surface to prefer. For an endpoint none of them covers, import the generated service classes (JobService, ScriptService, ...) from 'windmill-client' — they are not listed here but they do exist. What does not exist is a helper name you guessed at: if it is neither listed below nor a service method, do not call it.

To know who is running the script, read the contextual variables rather than calling the API: process.env.WM_END_USER_EMAIL || process.env.WM_EMAIL. WM_END_USER_EMAIL is the app viewer when the run was triggered from an app and empty otherwise (both variables are always defined), WM_EMAIL is the user the job is permissioned as. WM_USERNAME is the matching username.
