Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00191 | $0.01948 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00076 | $0.00779 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00390 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00195 |
Grade A, and why
servicenow-sdk-lifecycle scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ServiceNow SDK Lifecycle (the procedural spine)
The end-to-end procedure for taking a ServiceNow scoped application from an empty
folder to an installed, tested app — driven by the now-sdk command-line
interface (published as @servicenow/sdk) for local authoring/build/deploy, and
handed off to the servicenow-api MCP server for remote-instance orchestration
(CI/CD pipelines, update sets, plugins, source-control import).
Sibling skills own the content of each artifact; this skill owns the ordering.
When to use
- Standing up a new Fluent project or converting an existing scoped app to code.
- Authenticating the CLI to an instance and managing multiple instance profiles.
- The build → transform → deploy/install loop for a local project.
- Versioning, source-control import/apply, and running ATF suites as part of CI/CD.
When NOT to use
- Authoring flows/subflows/actions →
servicenow-workflow-studio. - Scoped-app anatomy / App Engine Studio reconciliation →
servicenow-app-engine. - Reading the bundled Fluent samples →
servicenow-sdk-docs. - Ad-hoc record CRUD / queries against a live instance →
servicenow-table-api.
Prerequisites
- Node v20+ and pnpm v9+ (matches the
servicenow-sdk-docssamples). - The CLI:
npx @servicenow/sdk <command>, or install it and callnow-sdk <command>. - For MCP-driven steps: connect via the
mcp-clientskill to theservicenow-apiserver. Env:SERVICENOW_INSTANCE,SERVICENOW_USERNAME,SERVICENOW_PASSWORD(+ optional OAuthSERVICENOW_CLIENT_ID/SERVICENOW_CLIENT_SECRET,SERVICENOW_SSL_VERIFY). Full env/tag matrix (do not duplicate):agent-tools/mcp-client/references/servicenow-api.md.MCP_TOOL_MODE(condensed|verbose|both) selects the 30 condensed tools (used below) vs. the 119 one-to-one verbose tools.
The lifecycle (ordered)
- Init the project — scaffold or convert from an installed app. →
references/project-init.md - Auth the CLI to the target instance and pick a profile. →
references/auth-and-profiles.md - Author Fluent metadata under
src/fluent/(tables, business rules, ACLs, flows, …). The what lives in the sibling skills andservicenow-sdk-docs; this skill only sequences it. - Dependencies — pull schema/type definitions for platform tables you reference.
→
references/dependencies.md - Build / transform — compile Fluent to a deployable package; transform existing
XML metadata into Fluent. →
references/build-transform.md - Deploy / install — push the built package to the instance. →
references/deploy-and-install.md - Source-control — commit; import a repo or apply remote changes on the instance.
→
references/source-control.md - ATF — run Automated Test Framework suites to validate. →
references/atf-run.md

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

servicenow-sdk-lifecycle is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/servicenow-api (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 191 tokens to every session and 1,948 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
