AI usage and development

HoHu supports two AI workflows: coding assistants use HoHu Skills to create and develop applications; application assistants query and process business data in a running application. Their models and permissions are configured separately.

Choose your task

Your task	Recommended path	Prerequisites
Create a project or build a business module	Install Skills → AI-assisted development	A Skills-capable coding assistant, HoHu CLI and a development environment
Query or process business data	Application AI assistant	An account, an available assistant and model, and business permissions
Configure AI for the first time	Configuration and operations → ordinary-user verification	Default-tenant system super-administrator and model service credentials
Connect your own module	Connect business tools	An existing Service, feature permissions and data visibility rules

Create and develop with AI

HoHu Skills provides workflows for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, TRAE and other coding assistants:

Skill	Responsibility
hohu-project	Create, initialize, start and troubleshoot projects through the actual CLI
hohu-business-module	Develop business modules following project conventions, connect permissions, pages and application AI tools, then validate

Install in the workspace where you will use your assistant:

npx skills@latest add aihohu/hohu-skills

Choose skills, coding assistants and scope. Verify host discovery, then describe your request:

Create equipment with Backend and Web only, initialize it and start it. Then build equipment borrowing with borrow, return and list operations. Ordinary users may only view their own loans. Use Chinese-only business content.

Equipment borrowing is a development example, not a built-in application installed with Skills. Skills guide implementation and validation; review actual pages, permissions, tests and AI tool execution records. Follow AI-assisted development for the complete process.

See Install Skills for prerequisites, assistant IDs and updates. Installing Skills does not install HoHu CLI, configure application models or grant business permissions.

Use an application assistant

Open AI Chat, choose an available model and use automatic routing or select an assistant manually. Begin with a read-only query, then try a confirmed action: describe the task → review targets and impact → approve → inspect tool results and the business page.

The following built-in assistants are currently published. Available operations also depend on enabled status, role bindings, feature permissions and data scope in your instance.

Assistant	Current capabilities	Boundaries
User management	User queries, statistics, creation and updates, department and role assignments, import/export and controlled deletion	Writes and exports follow tool confirmation flows
Role permissions	Role queries, creation and updates of delegated roles, menu and assistant authorization sets	Grants remain within delegation limits; deletion uses the regular page
Department management	Department queries, creation, updates and organizational tree moves	Department deletion uses the regular page
Shared tools	Parse uploaded files into structured summaries	Requires file parsing permission and an effective tool policy; does not manage other business domains

System configuration, AI Provider and scheduled-job assistants are not yet published. Custom business capabilities require registered tools; a new HTTP API does not automatically become an AI tool.

Tools remain subject to the current account's permissions, tenant boundary and data scope. Generated text does not prove success: inspect tool results and the business page. See Application AI assistant for usage and troubleshooting, and Configuration and operations for administration.
