Activation Contract

Use this first when

• The request is about WeChat Mini Program structure, pages, preview, publishing, or CloudBase mini program integration.

Read before writing code if

• The user mentions wx.cloud, CloudBase mini programs, OPENID, or mini program deployment/debug workflows.

Then also read

• CloudBase auth -> ../auth-wechat/SKILL.md
• CloudBase document DB -> ../no-sql-wx-mp-sdk/SKILL.md
• UI generation -> ../ui-design/SKILL.md first

Do NOT use for

• Web auth flows or Web SDK-specific frontend implementation.

Common mistakes / gotchas

• Generating a Web-style login flow for mini programs.
• Mixing Web SDK assumptions into wx.cloud projects.
• Applying CloudBase constraints before confirming the project actually uses CloudBase.

When to use this skill

Use this skill for WeChat Mini Program development when you need to:

• Build or modify mini program pages and components
• Organize mini program project structure and configuration
• Debug, preview, or publish mini program projects
• Work with WeChat Developer Tools workflows
• Handle mini program runtime behavior, assets, or page config files
• Integrate CloudBase in a mini program project when explicitly needed

Do NOT use for:

• Web frontend development (use web-development)
• Pure backend service development (use cloudrun-development or cloud-functions as appropriate)
• UI design-only tasks without mini program development context (use ui-design)

How to use this skill (for a coding agent)

1. Start with the general mini program workflow

   • Treat WeChat Mini Program development as the default scope
   • Do not assume the project uses CloudBase unless the user or codebase indicates it

2. Follow mini program project conventions

   • Keep mini program source under the configured mini program root
   • Ensure page files include the required configuration file such as index.json
   • Check project.config.json before suggesting preview or IDE workflows

3. Route by scenario

   • If the task involves CloudBase, wx.cloud, cloud functions, CloudBase database/storage, or CloudBase identity handling, read CloudBase integration reference
   • If the task involves debugging, previewing, publishing, WeChat Developer Tools, or no-DevTools workflows, read debug and preview reference

4. Use CloudBase rules only when applicable

   • CloudBase is an important mini program integration path, but not a universal requirement
   • Only apply CloudBase-specific auth, database, storage, or cloud function constraints when the project is using CloudBase

5. Recommend the right preview/debug path

   • Prefer WeChat Developer Tools for simulator, panel-based debugging, preview, and real-device validation
   • If WeChat Developer Tools is unavailable, use miniprogram-ci for preview, upload, and npm build workflows where appropriate

WeChat Mini Program Development Rules

General Project Rules

1. Project Structure

   • Mini program code should follow the project root configured in project.config.json
   • Keep page-level files complete, including .json configuration files
   • Ensure referenced local assets actually exist to avoid compile failures

2. Configuration Checks

   • Check project.config.json before opening, previewing, or publishing a project
   • Confirm appid is available when a real preview, upload, or WeChat Developer Tools workflow is required
   • Confirm miniprogramRoot and related path settings are correct

3. Resource Handling

   • When generating local asset references such as icons, ensure the files are downloaded into the project
   • Keep file paths stable and consistent with mini program config files

CloudBase as a Mini Program Sub-Scenario

• If the user explicitly uses CloudBase, wx.cloud, Tencent CloudBase, 腾讯云开发, or 云开发, follow the CloudBase integration reference
• In CloudBase mini program projects, use wx.cloud APIs and CloudBase environment configuration appropriately
• Do not apply CloudBase-specific rules to non-CloudBase mini program projects

Debugging, Preview, and Publishing

• If WeChat Developer Tools is available, use it as the primary path for simulator debugging, panel inspection, preview, and device validation
• If WeChat Developer Tools is not available, use miniprogram-ci as the fallback path for preview, upload, and npm build-related automation
• For detailed workflows, read debug and preview reference

Minimal project skeleton

app.js

App({
  onLaunch() {
    console.log("Mini Program launched");
  },
});

pages/index/index.js

Page({
  data: {
    message: "Hello CloudBase Mini Program",
  },
});

pages/index/index.wxml

<view class="page">
  <text>{{message}}</text>
</view>

pages/index/index.json

{
  "navigationBarTitleText": "Home"
}

project.config.json

{
  "appid": "your-mini-program-appid",
  "projectname": "cloudbase-mini-program",
  "miniprogramRoot": "./",
  "compileType": "miniprogram"
}
