Overview

The Codika Claude Code plugins give Claude direct access to the Codika platform. Once installed, Claude can scaffold use cases, validate workflows, deploy to production, trigger executions, debug failures, and even autonomously build entire use cases from your business requirements. Two plugins work together:
PluginWhat it adds
codika14 CLI skills — deploy, verify, trigger, fetch, manage integrations, and more
use-case-builder4 autonomous agents that design, build, modify, and test use cases + bundled platform documentation

​
Prerequisites

  • Claude Code installed and running
  • Node.js 22+
  • The codika CLI installed (npm install -g codika)
  • A Codika API key (from the dashboard under Organization Settings > API Keys)
If you haven’t set up the CLI yet, Claude will guide you through it automatically using the setup-codika skill after installing the plugins.

​
Install the plugins

1
Add the Codika marketplace
2
In Claude Code, run:
3
/plugin marketplace add codika-io/codika-marketplace
4
This registers the Codika marketplace so Claude Code can discover available plugins.
5
Install the codika plugin
6
/plugin install codika@codika-marketplace
7
This adds 14 CLI skills that let Claude run codika commands on your behalf — deploying use cases, triggering workflows, fetching execution traces, and more.
8
Install the use-case-builder plugin
9
/plugin install use-case-builder@codika-marketplace
10
This adds 4 autonomous builder agents and the bundled platform documentation. The builder agents depend on the codika plugin for all platform operations.
11
Verify the installation
12
Ask Claude:
13
Which skills and agents do you have access to?
14
You should see skills prefixed with codika: (e.g., codika:deploy-use-case, codika:trigger-workflow) and the builder agents (use-case-builder, use-case-modifier, n8n-workflow-builder, use-case-tester).
15
You can also reload plugins at any time with:
16
/reload-plugins

​
Authenticate

Before using any platform operations, authenticate the CLI: 
codika login
Or pass the key directly: 
codika login --api-key cko_your_api_key_here
Verify with: 
codika whoami
If you skip this step, Claude will automatically prompt you to authenticate when a command fails.

​
What you can do

​
CLI skills (codika plugin)

Use these by asking Claude naturally — it picks the right skill automatically.
Ask Claude to…Skill used
”Scaffold a new use case”codika:init-use-case
”Validate my use case”codika:verify-use-case
”Deploy this use case”codika:deploy-use-case
”Trigger the main workflow”codika:trigger-workflow
”Show me the last execution”codika:get-execution
”List recent executions”codika:list-executions
”Publish to production”codika:publish-use-case
”Download the deployed use case”codika:fetch-use-case
”Set up the Slack integration”codika:manage-integrations

​
Builder agents (use-case-builder plugin)

For more complex tasks, Claude delegates to specialized agents:
Ask Claude to…Agent used
”Build a use case that processes invoices from email”use-case-builder
”Add Slack notifications to this use case”use-case-modifier
”Build a workflow that calls the Tavily API”n8n-workflow-builder
”Deploy and test this use case, fix any issues”use-case-tester
The builder agents read Codika’s platform documentation at runtime, so they always follow current patterns for triggers, placeholders, credentials, and mandatory nodes.

​
Example session

You: Build a use case that monitors Gmail for invoices,
     extracts data with Claude, and saves results to Google Sheets

Claude: I'll use the use-case-builder agent to design and create this.
        [reads platform docs, designs architecture]
        [creates config.ts with Gmail trigger, FLEXCRED_ANTHROPIC, USERCRED_GOOGLE]
        [builds 2 workflows: gmail-trigger.json + invoice-parser.json (sub-workflow)]
        [runs codika verify to validate]

        ✓ Use case created at ./invoice-processor/
        Want me to deploy and test it?

You: Yes, deploy and test it

Claude: [deploys via codika:deploy-use-case]
        [triggers via codika:trigger-workflow]
        [inspects execution via codika:get-execution]

        ✓ Deployed and tested successfully
        Version: 1.0.1 | Instance: abc123

​
Updating plugins

To get the latest skills and agents: 
/plugin update codika@codika-marketplace
/plugin update use-case-builder@codika-marketplace

​
Uninstalling

/plugin uninstall codika@codika-marketplace
/plugin uninstall use-case-builder@codika-marketplace
To remove the marketplace entirely: 
/plugin marketplace remove codika-marketplace

​
Troubleshooting

Run /reload-plugins to force Claude Code to rediscover installed plugins. You should see a count of plugins, skills, and agents in the output.
Run codika login followed by codika whoami to verify your credentials. If using multiple organizations, make sure the correct profile is active.
The discover-codika-guides skill must be available. Verify the use-case-builder plugin is installed by asking Claude “which skills do you have?”. The skill should appear as use-case-builder:discover-codika-guides.
Ensure the codika plugin is installed — the builder agents depend on it for all CLI operations. Also check that codika CLI is installed globally (npm install -g codika).
