execute

Run a manifest against your ServiceNow instance.

The execute command processes every step in a manifest sequentially: resolving $ref values from prior step results, validating inputs against the table schema, and calling the skill operation. Results are saved to .sn-results/ for use by validate and test.

sn execute <manifest.ts> [--warm-refs] [--depth N] [--no-required-only]

Run all manifest steps against the connected instance.

Arguments

Name	Required	Description
manifest.ts	Yes	Path to the manifest TypeScript file.

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
--warm-refs	—	Pre-cache schemas for tables referenced in manifest inputs.
--depth N	1	Depth of reference-following for schema warming.
--no-required-only	—	Include optional fields when warming schema cache.

Examples

sn execute examples/test-business-rule/manifest.ts

Executing manifest: 3 steps

✓ my_rule business-rule create 0.8s

✓ my_test atf create_test 1.2s

✓ my_suite atf create_suite 0.6s

3/3 steps passed (2.6s)

Execute creates or updates real records on your instance. Always use a sub-production instance for development. All operations are idempotent — re-running the same manifest updates existing records rather than creating duplicates.
