I’ve had pretty good results with this by using `SKILL.md` files instead of trying to solve everything with one giant prompt.

Fo those that dont know a skill.md is a small context file that teaches the agent how a specific thing works.

For my setup, I built a Web Dev API in Ignition 8.1+ so the agent could interact with the gateway instead of guessing. Then I had a loop where one agent would write tests, another would improve the skill, and another would add API routes when the agent needed a new way to inspect or validate something.

So this created a feedback loop.

The agent would try something, run it against the gateway, check logs/screenshots/API responses, figure out which assumption was wrong, update the skill, and try again.

That helped a lot with things like:

- not inventing fake `system.*` functions
- not writing Python 3 when the gateway needs Jython
- learning what valid Perspective JSON actually looks like
- learning module-provided scripting functions instead of guessing them
- testing assumptions before treating them as rules

I used the same approach for Perspective pages, Jython scripts, SQL helpers, UDT import/export, creating importable perspective zip files, MQTT module scripting functions, expression language, alarms, logs, and a few other areas.

it won’t solve everything. But for 80% use cases it works and as of now i have not had a halluciantion.

For Ignition 8.1+, I had to build the API myself with the Web Dev module. For Ignition 8.3, the built-in API looks like a good starting point, though you may still need extra routes depending on what you want the agent to inspect or validate.

I made a YouTube walkthrough called “Building Perspective Pages in Ignition 8.1 with AI Agents” if you want to see the setup and demo. No link here because I don’t want to trip any filters, but it should come up if you search that title.
