asset_inspect_render (module)

Turns an asset.inspect structured record into agent-readable markdown. Pure Luau, no engine FFI — everything it needs is already on the record it's given.

Exports

• render(record) -> string — renders the common envelope (identity, typeName, scope, origin, description, tags) as a markdown header block, followed by a ## Detail section when record.detail is a table. A type-aware layout is used for recognised typeNames (component, module); every other type falls back to a deterministic, alphabetically ordered key/value + nested-list dump. record.detail == nil (a type with no inspect hook) renders the envelope alone — no error. The origin line names the library an installed asset came from (origin.from) and, for an asset the engine's library carries by reference, the world that published it and the commit its bytes are (origin.world, origin.commit); an asset with both shows both. Missing optional fields (description, tags, origin.from, origin.world, guid, source) are omitted from the output rather than erroring.

Usage

local Render = require("modules.asset_inspect_render")
local md = Render.render(asset.inspect("@builtin::components.Camera"))
