getInstanceKey | SignalWire

Get the unique key used to track this skill instance.

Returns

string — By default, returns this.skillName. Subclasses that support multiple instances typically override this to return a more specific key (e.g., "<skillName>_<toolName>" derived from config).

Example

1 class MySkill extends SkillBase {
2   getInstanceKey(): string {
3     const toolName = this.getConfig<string>('tool_name');
4     return toolName ? `${this.skillName}_${toolName}` : this.skillName;
5   }
6 }

Instance key behavior:

1 import { AgentBase } from '@signalwire/sdk';
2 
3 const agent = new AgentBase({ name: 'demo' });
4 agent.addSkill("notify")
5 // Instance key: "notify"
6 
7 agent.addSkill("notify", {"tool_name": "email"})
8 // Instance key: "notify_email"
9 
10 agent.addSkill("notify", {"tool_name": "sms"})
11 // Instance key: "notify_sms"
