Hi everyone!
I am excited to share a new community project I have been working on that I think will be helpful for anyone building custom pieces or working with the Activepieces codebase. I’ve created an AI Agent Skill called Activepieces Expert, designed specifically to give your AI coding assistants deep context and knowledge about the Activepieces ecosystem.
If you are using modern AI-powered IDEs or extensions that support installable agent skills (like Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Roo Code, or GitHub Copilot), you know that AI is great at general TypeScript, but sometimes struggles with the specific nuances of framework SDKs. This skill bridges that gap by providing your AI agent with the tailored context it needs to understand Activepieces perfectly.
What can the Activepieces Expert skill help you with?
- Custom Piece Creation: Quickly bootstrap new pieces, set up triggers, and define actions with the correct Activepieces SDK syntax.
- Authentication Handling: Guide your AI to correctly implement various authentication methods (OAuth2, API Keys, Basic Auth) required by the platforms you are integrating.
- Debugging and Troubleshooting: Help your IDE identify common errors in your custom piece code and suggest fixes aligned with Activepieces best practices.
- Code Review: Ensure your code follows the structural requirements needed to successfully publish and run on your Activepieces instance.
You can check out the source code and see how it works over on my GitHub repository. If you want to install it directly into your supported AI assistant, you can grab the skill directly from the skills.sh registry here.
I would absolutely love for you all to try it out the next time you are building a custom integration! Please let me know what you think, how it performs for your specific use cases, or if there are any additional Activepieces concepts I should add to the skill’s knowledge base. Feedback and Pull Requests are always welcome!
Happy automating!
