This walkthrough takes you through one short, complete loop: prompt your coding agent, review what it produces, and run it against your UiPath organization. It is designed to prove the workflow rather than to build anything elaborate.
Prerequisites
- The
uipCLI and UiPath skills installed (see Install and set up). - An authenticated session — confirm with
uip loginif needed. - An empty working folder for the new project.
Build and run
- Open your coding agent in the empty working folder.
- Prompt the agent with a small, concrete task. For example: Create a UiPath RPA project that reads each row of
input.csv, counts the rows, and writes the total tooutput.txt. Then run it. - Review the project the agent generates — the files, the automation logic, and any commands it proposes to run.
- Approve the run when you are satisfied. The agent uses the
uipCLI to execute the automation.
Result: you have a working UiPath project in your folder and have run it once from your coding agent.
Note:
Your agent's exact wording, file layout, and command sequence will vary by agent and by prompt. Treat the prompt above as a starting point and refine it conversationally.
