Overview
Thecodika plugin gives AI coding agents direct access to the Codika platform. Once installed, your agent can scaffold use cases, validate workflows, deploy to production, trigger executions, debug failures, and autonomously build entire use cases from your business requirements.
It ships as a single Open Plugin v1-conformant repo at codika-io/plugin, so you install it once and the CLI wires it into every compatible host (Claude Code, Cursor, …).
Prerequisites
- A supported agent host (Claude Code, Cursor, …) installed and running
- Node.js 22+
- The
codikaCLI installed (npm install -g codika) - A Codika API key (from the dashboard under Organization Settings > API Keys)
/codika:setup-codika skill after installing the plugin.

CLI skills
Ask your agent naturally — it picks the right skill automatically.Builder agents
For more complex tasks, the agent delegates to specialized sub-agents (invoked via Task tool withsubagent_type: "codika:<name>"):
The builder agents read Codika’s platform documentation at runtime (bundled inside the
codika:discover-codika-guides skill), so they always follow current patterns for triggers, placeholders, credentials, and mandatory nodes.

The

Deploy or verify commands fail
Make sure the
codika CLI is installed globally (npm install -g codika). The skills shell out to the CLI — without it, none of the platform operations work.Next steps
