At a glance

- The user mentions fluent
- SKILL.md covers Getting oriented — required…, SDK Documentation (explain) and Live Instance Queries (query)
- Calls npx
- When the user prompts for edits within a fluent application (identified by a now.config.json at the project root)
What it does
Now SDK is an agent skill from ServiceNow/sdk. Use whenever the user mentions fluent, ServiceNow, or the now-sdk, OR when the user prompts for edits within a fluent application (identified by a now.config.json at the project root). Also use when the user needs live instance data — looking up a sysid, inspecting table columns or schema, checking whether a record already exists, fetching choice values, or reading role or scope info.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with ServiceNow.
When your agent uses it
- The user mentions fluent
- When the user prompts for edits within a fluent application (identified by a now.config.json at the project root)
- The user needs live instance data — looking up a sysid
- Inspecting table columns
Example prompts
- “/now-sdk”
Requirements
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f01c0e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Now SDK loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 612 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 612 words (~1,367 tokens).
