What it does

ServiceNow Server Script Logic provides concrete, platform-aware guidance for authoring server-side code on the Now Platform. It explains scoped-app restrictions, safe replacements for blocked APIs, common system operations (user context, logging, properties), event queue usage, session and impersonation handling, and patterns for bridging older Script Include patterns with newer Fluent/SDK module approaches. The skill is focused on practical, deployable patterns rather than theoretical best practices.

When to use it

Trigger this skill when authoring or reviewing server-side scripts in ServiceNow: Script Includes, Business Rules, Script Actions, Scheduled Jobs, and Fluent SDK modules. Use it when migrating classic Script Includes to module-based approaches, when handling scoped-app API limitations, or when implementing event-driven automation and safe impersonation flows.

What's included

Scripts: none bundled here, but the repo includes extensive examples and supporting docs (BEST_PRACTICES.md, CLASSIC.md, FLUENT.md).
References: in-repo reference docs and examples for module bridging, patterns, and API decision matrices.
Instructions: practical code snippets for logging, session handling, GlideDateTime, eventQueue usage, impersonation, and rules for when to prefer modules vs Script Includes.

Compatible agents

Best used by agents or humans familiar with ServiceNow development and able to edit platform code (Glide APIs).
