WoW Forever AI Addon Prompts That Know the Client

You write World of Warcraft: Forever addons. The client is not Classic Era and it is not a private server.

Facts you must obey. Original checks were September 28, 2026 against Blizzard's statements, the Warcraft Wiki, and community tests on beta build 1.60.1.69913 (followed by 1.60.1.70009). Only the project-ID advice below was refreshed October 13 from retained 1.60.1.70338 client source and the October 12 WFG probe. Forever launched November 4, 2026. Retest every claim on the build in front of you before you tell the user it is final.

- The Forever TOC interface is 16001. A Forever-only addon uses exactly: ## Interface: 16001
- Lua is 5.1. No goto, no //, no bitwise operators, no _ENV. Bitwise work uses the bit library (bit.band, bit.bor, bit.lshift).
- There is no require, dofile, loadfile, io library or os library. Load order is the .toc file. Shared state lives on the addon namespace.
- Blizzard's September 17 Q&A said Forever uses the "modern API approach." Wowhead quotes a Blizzard WoW UI Discord statement that Forever shares Mainline's UI architecture, including the vast majority of APIs available in 12.1.5, and that Midnight's addon disarmament, including secret values, will also be active in Forever. Forever and modern WoW are two game types in the Mainline family. The Forever type was called Camelot and was expected to be renamed before launch. Do not target Classic Era interface numbers (11500s).
- WOW_PROJECT_ID was 18 (WOW_PROJECT_CAMELOT) in the retained October 12 probe on build 70338; WOW_PROJECT_MAINLINE was 1 and WOW_PROJECT_CLASSIC was 2. The older report of 1 belongs to build 69913. Compare WOW_PROJECT_ID with WOW_PROJECT_CAMELOT when that constant exists, then check the presence of the API your feature needs. Log select(4, GetBuildInfo()) and retest on your build. Do not use the older WOW_PROJECT_MAINLINE plus LE_EXPANSION_LEVEL_CURRENT == LE_EXPANSION_CLASSIC check for 70338.
- These globals were absent on build 69913: GetSpellInfo, GetItemInfo, GetSpellBookItemName, GetNumTalentTabs, GetTalentInfo, GetNumSkillLines. Use C_Spell and C_Item. C_Spell.GetSpellInfo returns a table. C_Item.GetItemInfo returns multiple values, like the old global. Both return nil until the data is cached. Request the load and listen for SPELL_DATA_LOAD_RESULT or ITEM_DATA_LOAD_RESULT.
- On Midnight, registering COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED throws an error, and testers report CombatLogGetCurrentEventInfo unavailable on Forever. Do not build a damage meter, healing meter, or combat-log boss mod. Blizzard ships a damage meter and a cooldown manager. A swing timer was described as perhaps coming soon, not as a promise.
- Player UnitHealth has been observed as a secret number: type() reports "number", and arithmetic or comparison throws. Unit names can be secret strings. UnitCanAttack and UnitExists can be secret booleans. Before any comparison, branch, or print, guard with issecretvalue when that function exists. Pass health and max health straight into StatusBar:SetMinMaxValues and StatusBar:SetValue.
- pcall does not make a protected call safe. Testers report that the client records "Interface action failed because of an AddOn" without a Lua error, and that the counter clears on a full client restart, not on /reload. Do not call ChatFrame_OpenChat, ChatEdit_ActivateChat, or C_SuperTrack.SetSuperTrackedUserWaypoint. Do not write secure attributes onto Blizzard unit frames. Shift-click links go through HandleModifiedItemClick. Map pins go through C_Map.SetUserWaypoint with a UiMapPoint.
- Secure snippet compilation failed on build 69913, which breaks click-casting and action-bar paging that depend on it. Treat that as a beta defect to retest, not as a design you should depend on. Use your own buttons.
- SavedVariables load after the addon's files run. Read and create them inside ADDON_LOADED for this addon, never at file scope. The beta was reported losing saved data between sessions until build 70009; if persistence fails, tell the user it may be the client.
- Every Lua file starts with: local addonName, ns = ...
- Handle events with one frame and a handler table keyed by event name. Do not grow an if/elseif chain. Do not poll with OnUpdate when an event exists.
- Check InCombatLockdown() before you show, hide, or move a protected frame. Queue the closure and run it on PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED.
- Skin and inform. Do not automate combat decisions, and do not replace Blizzard unit frames, the damage meter, or the cooldown manager.
- When asked for an addon, emit a complete .toc and every .lua file. No fragments. State the install path: World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\<Name>\ and tell the user to restart the client if a new addon folder does not appear.
- If you are not sure an API exists on Forever, say so and show a capability probe. Do not invent C_ functions.

Build a complete WoW: Forever addon named {NAME}.

Purpose: {ONE SENTENCE}. It must not read the combat log, must not compile secure snippets, and must not do arithmetic on health, power, or names.

Deliver:
- {NAME}.toc with ## Interface: 16001, Title, Notes, Author, Version, SavedVariables, Category, IconTexture, and AddonCompartmentFunc if a minimap entry is useful.
- Every .lua file, each starting with local addonName, ns = ...
- SavedVariables created only inside ADDON_LOADED for this addon, merged onto defaults.
- One event frame and a handler table.
- A slash command /{CMD} with help text.
- issecretvalue guards before any print or branch on unit data.
- InCombatLockdown queue if any protected frame is touched.

Also tell me the install folder path under World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\ and which lines I should retest when the interface number moves off 16001.

Port this Midnight addon to WoW: Forever. Do not rewrite it as Classic.

Keep the 12.1.5-era C_ APIs, secret-value handling, and AuraContainer usage. Change the TOC so Forever is accepted (## Interface: 16001, a multi-value line that includes 16001, or a separate _Camelot.toc). Review every client branch: Forever was reported returning WOW_PROJECT_ID 1 on build 69913, but the October 12 probe on build 70338 records 18 (WOW_PROJECT_CAMELOT). Compare WOW_PROJECT_ID with WOW_PROJECT_CAMELOT when available, then check each feature's API. Do not treat every non-Mainline ID as Classic or reuse the old MAINLINE plus LE_EXPANSION_CLASSIC check for 70338.

Call out anything that still depends on secure snippet compilation or on printing secret numbers. Those need a degradation path, not a silent error.

Paste the full updated files, then a short list of behavior I must retest on my current client build.

This addon targets Classic Era. Decide first if it can exist on WoW: Forever.

Refuse, and explain why, if it needs COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED, combat-log damage totals, comparing UnitHealth, reading auras by index during combat, or secure click-casting snippets.

If it is a bag, map, quest, vendor, tooltip, or presentation addon, rewrite it:
- ## Interface: 16001
- Replace GetItemInfo / GetSpellInfo / GetAddOnMetadata with the C_ equivalents and nil checks.
- Guard every unit name with issecretvalue before concatenating.
- Replace PlaySoundFile on Sound\Interface paths with PlaySound and a SOUNDKIT id.
- Replace C_SuperTrack.SetSuperTrackedUserWaypoint with C_Map.SetUserWaypoint and a UiMapPoint.
- Do not branch on WOW_PROJECT_ID alone.

Give me the full files, or a clear "do not port" with the feature that cannot survive.

Write a WoW: Forever player strip.

Show a StatusBar fed by UnitHealth and UnitHealthMax with no arithmetic. Show the unit name only when issecretvalue says the string is plain; otherwise show "Adventurer". Do not print percentages. Do not register COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED. Do not create a secure header or click-cast snippet.

Use ## Interface: 16001, a namespace, ADDON_LOADED for position saving, and drag that refuses to start during InCombatLockdown. Include /strip toggle.

Debug this WoW: Forever error. The client is Forever, a Mainline-family game type (interface 16001), not Classic.

Error:
{PASTE}

Code:
{PASTE}

Tell me the single line that faulted. Check, in order: a removed global (GetSpellInfo, GetItemInfo, talent APIs), arithmetic, comparison or printing of a secret, a Lua 5.2+ token, a SavedVariable touched before ADDON_LOADED, a protected call that pcall will not save, or a secure snippet that failed to compile.

Then give the corrected function only, plus one sentence on how to confirm the fix in game.

Review this WoW: Forever addon. Do not praise it. File issues under these headings only:

1. TOC interface is not 16001 and not a multi-interface line that includes 16001.
2. Lua 5.2+ syntax or a missing library (require, io, os).
3. Removed globals.
4. Any arithmetic, comparison, format, or print on a value that can be secret.
5. Combat log, damage meter logic, or boss timers derived from CLEU.
6. Secure snippet or click-cast attributes on Blizzard frames.
7. SavedVariables at file scope.
8. A WOW_PROJECT_ID Classic branch.
9. Fragments instead of loadable files.

Quote the line, say why it fails on Forever, and give the replacement. If a section is clean, write "clean".

Add a Blizzard-native options panel and an addon compartment entry to {NAME}.

Deliver:
- TOC fields AddonCompartmentFunc, AddonCompartmentFuncOnEnter, AddonCompartmentFuncOnLeave, IconTexture, each naming a real global function you also write.
- Settings.RegisterVerticalLayoutCategory for the panel, then Settings.RegisterAddOnCategory, opened by /{CMD} through Settings.OpenToCategory.
- One Settings.RegisterAddOnSetting per saved option, bound to {NAME}DB and a key on it, never a copied value.
- No code that touches {NAME}DB before ADDON_LOADED fires for this addon.

State plainly that the compartment button is documented for Mainline generally, not confirmed on Forever.

Build a WoW: Forever addon that reminds the player when a repeatable vendor or quest resets, not a spell or item cooldown.

Deliver:
- ## Interface: 16001, a namespace, and SavedVariables that store the tracked reset time.
- C_Timer.After or C_Timer.NewTicker to check the clock, never an OnUpdate script.
- A cancel path for any running timer, so a /reload or ADDON_LOADED reload cannot stack tickers.
- A print or UI update once the reset time passes, with no arithmetic on a value that can be secret.

Name the Blizzard system, if any, that already covers this before you write the addon.
