// Always invoke for low-code agents (Agent Builder / `agent.json`) or Python projects with `uipath-*` deps. UiPath agent lifecycle — coded (Python: LangGraph/LlamaIndex/OpenAI Agents) and low-code (agent.json from Agent Builder). Setup, auth, build, run, evaluate, deploy, sync, bindings. For C# or XAML workflows→uipath-rpa.
UiPath Human-in-the-Loop / HITL node authoring — building approval gates, escalations, write-back validation, and data enrichment checkpoints in Flow, Maestro, or Coded Agents. NOT for managing, reassigning, or monitoring tasks at runtime (use uipath-tasks for that).
Always invoke for `.flow` files OR when the user asks what IxP / document-extraction models are available in Maestro. UiPath Maestro Flow (.flow) — build, edit, run, debug, fix, evaluate. Create, connect nodes; connector, approval, script, subflow, ixp; list IxP / document-extraction models for a flow; triggers, schedules; validate. Upload, publish, manage runs, instances. Diagnose errors, incidents, traces. Design eval sets, evaluators, run Studio Web evals via `uip maestro flow eval`. `uip maestro flow` CLI. For C#/XAML→uipath-rpa. For agents→uipath-agents.
UiPath Data Fabric entity/record CRUD via `uip df`. Create entities, insert/query/update/delete records, CSV import, file attachments. For Flow connector nodes (query/create/update/delete/get-by-id inside a `.flow`)→uipath-maestro-flow. For Orchestrator→uipath-platform. For Integration Service→uipath-platform.
Always invoke for `app.config.json` or `action-schema.json` files. UiPath Coded Web Apps & Coded Action Apps via `uip codedapp` and `@uipath/uipath-typescript` SDK. Scaffold, build, debug, deploy. For .cs/XAML→uipath-rpa, Python→uipath-agents.
Always invoke for `.xaml` or `.cs` workflow files. UiPath RPA — create, edit, build, run, debug `.cs` coded workflows and `.xaml` workflows. UI automation with Object Repository selectors, test case authoring, Integration Service connector calls. Live desktop/browser UI exploration and control. Deploy via `.uipx`→uipath-solution. Non-solution Orchestrator ops→uipath-platform. Test reports→uipath-test. Agents→uipath-agents.
Always invoke for `.uipx` files. UiPath Solution Design Document (SDD) authoring from PDDs and `uip solution` lifecycle. Covers `sdd.md`/`pdd.md`/`.uipx` files and `uip solution init/pack/publish/deploy/activate/upload/project add|import/resource refresh|add|remove|edit`. Selects scope (single product or multi-project Solution: RPA/Flow/Case/Agents/Apps/API Workflows), writes implementation-ready SDD, then packs and ships the `.uipx`. For task derivation across multiple skills→uipath-planner. For non-solution Orchestrator/IS/resources/auth/traces→uipath-platform. For .xaml/.cs→uipath-rpa. For .flow→uipath-maestro-flow. For .bpmn→uipath-maestro-bpmn. For agent.json and .py agents→uipath-agents. For caseplan.json→uipath-maestro-case.

solution verb once per session before the first scaffold or deploy. Run uip solution init --help --output json. Result Success → use solution init and solution deploy run --parent-folder-path / --parent-folder-key (post-rename, default). unknown command / non-zero exit → CLI predates the rename; substitute uip solution new <Name> and --folder-path / --folder-key (same arguments otherwise) wherever this skill calls those.bindings.json. Without this, resources cannot be overridden per execution environment and will always default to the hardcoded values in the SDK calls. Derive bindings whenever you add, remove, or modify any UiPath SDK resource call — for instance assets, queues, processes, buckets, indexes, connections, apps, MCP servers, or InvokeProcess|CreateTask|CreateEscalation(...).Determine the agent mode before proceeding:
pyproject.toml with uipath dependency + .py files → Codedagent.json with "type": "lowCode" + project.uiproj, AND no pyproject.toml → Low-codeShould I build this as a low-code agent (no Python — configure through prompts and pre-built UiPath tools) or a coded agent (Python — full programmatic control with LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or OpenAI Agents)?
After detection, read the quickstart for that mode before doing anything else:
