// What customers get

Built for AI agents that need to touch real Ignition work.

The Ignition AI Toolkit packages repeatable Ignition knowledge into concise skill files and a controlled API runner — so controls engineers spend less time correcting AI assumptions and more time validating useful outputs.

SKILL

PIZ-01 · v1.0.13

Perspective Import Zip Builder

Creates portable Ignition 8.1 Perspective packages when the AI cannot reach the customer's Gateway. Hands your agent the exact view/page JSON structure that survives a project import.

  • View and page JSON guardrails
  • Import package structure rules
  • Binding and property validation checklist
  • Style class and theme conventions
SKILL + API

PHB-02 · v1.0.13

Perspective Host Builder

Uses the Web Dev API runner to inspect, apply, validate, and troubleshoot a reachable Gateway. Your agent works against the live project instead of guessing at it.

  • Route and view validation against the Gateway
  • Tag and UDT discovery
  • Gateway log reads and diagnostics
  • Backups and rollback discipline
SKILL

JSB-03 · v1.1.26

Jython Script Builder

Writes Ignition-safe Jython 2.7.3 scripts without Python 3 syntax leaks or unsafe tag assumptions. f-strings, walrus operators, and py3 stdlib calls never make it into your Gateway.

  • Tag read/write safety patterns
  • UDT configure rules
  • Script Console test patterns
  • Gateway vs. session scope discipline
SKILL

SQB-04 · v1.0.14

SQL Query Builder

Designs safer Named Queries, database-backed Perspective pages, and Tag Historian SQL patterns. Read-only preview discipline before anything touches production data.

  • Named Query first workflow
  • Tag Historian partition-aware SQL
  • Postgres, MSSQL, and MySQL dialect rules
  • Read-only preview discipline

Included · RUN-00 · v0.3.46

Web Dev API Runner

A controlled Web Dev module endpoint package that gives your AI agent a safe, auditable surface on the Gateway: route checks, tag reads, dry runs, log access.

// Why it works

Not generic prompts. Tested industrial workflows.

The toolkit is built around importable, inspectable artifacts: Perspective pages, scripts, queries, runner setup, validation steps, and lessons learned from real Ignition testing.

01

Choose the scenario

Build an importable Perspective zip for an air-gapped customer, or point the host-side API runner at a reachable Gateway for live work.

02

Generate the artifact

The skill tells your AI exactly how to structure Perspective view JSON, Jython 2.7.3 scripts, Named Queries, and their dependencies — no guessing.

03

Validate before trust

Dry runs, route checks, tag existence checks, Gateway log reads, and rollback points. Nothing lands on production until it has been proven.

// In action

The output your agent ships when it knows the rules.

tag_write_safe.pyvalidated
# Jython 2.7.3 — Gateway scope. No py3 syntax.
# Skill rule: always check QualifiedValue.quality before use.

def writeSetpointSafe(tagPath, value, timeoutMs=1000):
    qv = system.tag.readBlocking([tagPath], timeoutMs)[0]
    if not qv.quality.isGood():
        logger = system.util.getLogger("SetpointWriter")
        logger.warnf("Bad quality on %s: %s", tagPath, str(qv.quality))
        return False

    # 2.7.3-safe formatting — no f-strings
    result = system.tag.writeBlocking([tagPath], [value], timeoutMs)[0]
    return result.isGood()

Questions controls engineers ask

The skill files are plain, structured markdown plus reference assets — they work with Claude (including Claude Code and Cursor), OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT, and any agent that can read instruction files. No vendor lock-in.

No. The Perspective Import Zip Builder is designed specifically for air-gapped or unreachable Gateways — it produces importable project packages. When you do have a reachable Gateway, the Perspective Host Builder plus the Web Dev API runner give your agent a live, validated workflow.

The skill line targets Ignition 8.1 — Perspective view/page JSON, the 8.1 import schema, Jython 2.7.3, and the standard Tag Historian schema. The Web Dev runner installs as a standard Web Dev module resource.

The Jython skill includes explicit guardrails the agent must follow: no f-strings, no walrus operators, no Python 3 stdlib assumptions, qualified-value-aware tag reads, and Script Console test patterns before anything goes to the Gateway.

The runner is designed to be inspectable and minimal: every route is documented, destructive operations support dry-run mode, applies create rollback points, and the skill instructs the agent to read Gateway logs and validate before and after every change. You can review every line before installing.

After purchase, you sign into the customer portal with the email used at checkout. All skill folders and the runner package are available as versioned downloads, and updates within the 8.1 skill line are free.
