stacks-auto-imports · Platform · model-invoked

Use runtime-provided names directly in their execution context. The generated storage/framework/auto-imports/RUNTIME.md lists this app's server helpers by package and barrel, plus the installed STX runtime bindings, macros and demand helpers. Read the relevant section before adding imports.

buddy generate, buddy generate:types, buddy generate:auto-imports and buddy setup:ai refresh the reference from runtime registries. The bundled skills point to this project file, so copied skills stay current after generation. Standalone modules and scripts without Stacks boot still use explicit imports.

When to reach for it

  • Understanding how browser and server auto-imports work
  • Configuring auto-imported functions/models/composables
  • The auto-import manifests
  • Type generation
  • How globals are injected

Covers

auto-import pipeline at storage/framework/auto-imports/.

Inside the skill

The sections an agent reads once the skill loads.

  • Available names in this project
  • Browser delivery paths
  • Server boot and globals
  • Generation and project overrides
  • Verification and gotchas

Where the code lives

  • Auto-import functions: storage/framework/auto-imports/functions.ts
  • Auto-import models: storage/framework/auto-imports/models.ts
  • Auto-import index: storage/framework/auto-imports/index.ts
  • Auto-import globals: storage/framework/auto-imports/globals.ts
  • Generated AI reference: storage/framework/auto-imports/RUNTIME.md
  • Browser manifest: storage/framework/browser-auto-imports.json
  • Server manifest: storage/framework/server-auto-imports.json
  • Browser type declarations: storage/framework/types/browser-auto-imports.d.ts (legacy declarations are pruned; STX supplies its own types)
  • Server type declarations: storage/framework/types/server-auto-imports.d.ts
  • Server primitive registry: storage/framework/core/server/src/primitive-imports.ts

Using it

This one is model-invoked. Your agent reaches for it on its own when the task matches, and you can also call it by name:

/stacks-auto-imports

Source: stacks-auto-imports/SKILL.md. Shadow it for one project with app/Skills/stacks-auto-imports/SKILL.md, then re-run buddy setup:ai. See Writing your own.

Native source verification

The skill has been checked against current source and retained tests. Read its entrypoint and linked references for the actual contract; summaries here are discovery pointers. Native capabilities maps every core package and records driver evidence without claiming universal parity.
