Skills and project context
WaveMaker AI Assistant combines current project context with reusable WaveMaker skills. Project context tells the agent what exists in the application. Skills tell it how to carry out a supported kind of work in Studio.
Together, they give the agent a working view of the application and a platform-aware way to act on it.
What project context includes
Depending on the project and task, Studio can supply:
| Context | How the agent uses it |
|---|---|
| Project platform | Selects behavior for Web or Native Mobile applications |
| Existing artifacts | Finds pages, partials, variables, services, components, and configuration to reuse |
| Project metadata | Supplies application details required by WaveMaker tools |
| Draft and repository state | Identifies current changes and records checkpoints |
| Project instructions | Applies project-specific development and review rules |
| Project skills | Makes project-provided playbooks available during the session |
The agent still inspects the artifacts required for the task. Project context does not mean that every file is placed into every request.
Built-in skills
Built-in skills are maintained with WaveMaker. They cover areas such as UI markup and bindings, design systems, Java services, databases, Query Services, security, web services, screenshot-to-code workflows, Marketplace artifacts, extensions, code review, and recovery.
Each skill describes the artifacts, conventions, tool steps, and checks that apply to its task. This lets an agent work with WaveMaker patterns instead of making a generic guess about the project structure.
Each agent has an assigned skill set. Selecting a specialist limits the task to the skills and tools configured for that specialist.
Developers select the agent, not an individual built-in skill. The agent matches the request to relevant skills and loads their instructions as the task progresses.
Common and platform-specific skills
WaveMaker organizes built-in skills into common, Web, and Native Mobile groups.
- Common skills contain instructions shared across project types.
- Web skills describe Web-specific artifacts and workflows.
- Native Mobile skills describe mobile UI and device integration.
When a skill has a platform-specific version, WaveMaker uses the version for the current project. Otherwise, it can use a common version. Availability still depends on the selected agent.
Project-provided skills
A project can supply additional skills to the session. These project-scoped playbooks can describe an application-specific pattern, a required component, naming rules, or validation for a business workflow. Project skills use a project: prefix inside the agent session.
The authoring format, storage, permissions, and management controls for project skills are not yet confirmed for public documentation. If no project skills are configured, the assistant uses built-in skills and project instructions.
Skills load when needed
The assistant starts with skill names and short descriptions. It loads complete instructions when a request matches a skill. A focused UI request therefore does not bring unrelated database or mobile instructions into the task.
