ServiceNow SDK Docs Builder

This skill provides an automated pipeline for generating the servicenow-sdk documentation skill. It ensures that the documentation is always up-to-date with the latest examples and core SDK information.

Workflow

To update the documentation skill, run the provided build script:

# From the skill's scripts directory
python build_docs.py --target /path/to/universal-skills/servicenow-sdk

Automation Steps:

1. Sync Repositories: (Optional) Pulls the latest changes from https://github.com/ServiceNow/sdk and https://github.com/ServiceNow/sdk-examples.
2. Combine READMEs: Merges the main READMEs from both repositories, de-duplicating headers and categorizing content.
3. Process Samples: Iterates through all examples in sdk-examples, mirroring source files into the target skill's assets/ directory.
4. Generate References: Creates detailed markdown reference files for each example with relative links to bundled source code.
5. Harvest CLI Docs: Scans the sdk repo's README.md and docs/** for CLI / auth / command-oriented markdown and mirrors each into references/cli-*.md, keeping the now-sdk CLI surface refreshed for the servicenow-sdk-lifecycle skill to reference.
6. Index Documentation: Generates the main SKILL.md for the servicenow-sdk-docs skill (samples + a "SDK CLI & Tooling Reference" section), emitting name: servicenow-sdk-docs at version 0.3.0.

Configuration

The builder uses the repositories mirrored at:

• Workspace/sdk
• Workspace/sdk-examples

Ensure these are present or use the --sync flag to fetch them.

Troubleshooting

If the build fails, check the console output for specific errors related to directory structures or missing README files.
