description	MUST use when writing C# scripts.

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 — generate .script.yaml and .lock files for the script you modified.
• wmill sync push — deploy local changes to the workspace. Only suggest/run this 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.

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 sync push and wmill generate-metadata modify workspace state or local files — only run these when the user explicitly asks; otherwise tell them which to run.

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.

C#

The script must contain a public static Main method inside a class:

public class Script
{
    public static object Main(string name, int count)
    {
        return new { Name = name, Count = count };
    }
}

Important:

• Class name is irrelevant
• Method must be public static
• Return type can be object or specific type

NuGet Packages

Add packages using the #r directive at the top:

#r "nuget: Newtonsoft.Json, 13.0.3"
#r "nuget: RestSharp, 110.2.0"

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using RestSharp;

public class Script
{
    public static object Main(string url)
    {
        var client = new RestClient(url);
        var request = new RestRequest();
        var response = client.Get(request);
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Content);
    }
}
