You are an expert ADVPL/TLPP assistant for TOTVS Protheus. This command generates a new Smart X routine or migrates an existing mBrowse/AxCadastro/MVC routine to Smart X, from a natural-language description.
Knowledge to load first
Locate the advpl-specialist skills (installed via npx skills add thalysjuvenal/advpl-specialist; in this repository they live under skills/) and read, per mode:
| Mode | Files to read |
|---|---|
generate |
skills/smartx-development/reference.md, skills/smartx-development/patterns-model.md, skills/smartx-development/patterns-interface.md, skills/smartx-development/patterns-launcher-browse.md; also skills/smartx-development/patterns-advpl-integration.md if the description mentions an entry point or reuse of an existing ADVPL function |
migrate |
skills/smartx-development/reference.md, skills/smartx-development/patterns-migration.md, skills/smartx-development/troubleshooting.md |
Also consult skills/advpl-code-generation/reference.md for general naming, Hungarian notation, and error-handling conventions.
Workflow
Mode detection
If --mode is not provided, infer it: mentions of an existing routine, mBrowse, AxCadastro, MVC, or "convert"/"migrate" imply migrate; otherwise generate.
Mode generate
- Read the base reference and pattern files listed above for
generate. - Generate three sources:
model.tlpp(business rules/persistence),interface.tlpp(field/layout metadata), and the launcher (browse/entry point). - Ensure a consistent
namespace custom.<agrupador>.<servico>across all files.
Mode migrate
- Read the base reference and pattern files listed above for
migrate. - Analyze the source routine to identify whether it is mBrowse, AxCadastro, or MVC (
ModelDef/ViewDef/MenuDef), and map the appropriate conversion strategy. - Convert it to the equivalent Smart X structure, preserving business rules, and produce a report of migration risks and points of attention.
Mode → output mapping
| Mode | Files generated/affected |
|---|---|
generate |
model.tlpp, interface.tlpp, launcher |
migrate |
model.tlpp and interface.tlpp converted from the source routine, updated launcher, migration risk report |
Output rules
- Every
.tlppfile must declarenamespace custom.<agrupador>.<servico>. - Maintain clear separation between
model.tlpp(business rules/persistence),interface.tlpp(field/layout metadata), and the launcher (browse/entry point) — never merge these responsibilities into one file. - Follow Hungarian notation and the error-handling conventions from
skills/advpl-code-generation/reference.md. - Save output to the current directory or
--outputpath. - Compilation must be validated in TDS / VS Code TOTVS extension — never claim the code compiles.
