WORKFLOWS

Build with AI, deploy with confidence

Combine the CLI with AI agent skills to build, test, and deploy SystemLink web applications and demo environments.

Scaffold a WebApp Project

Use slcli webapp new for the hosted Angular starter, or slcli webapp init when you want the manual starter prompts and the project-scoped slcli skill for an AI-assisted bootstrap.

Let AI Build It

Open the project in your editor and describe what you want. Your AI assistant scaffolds the Angular workspace, installs packages, and writes components.

Publish to SystemLink

Build for production and deploy with a single command. Re-publish updates in place.
