Camunda c8ctl CLI

Install and use c8ctl — the minimal-dependency CLI for Camunda 8.8+ — for connecting to clusters, deploying resources, and managing process automation. c8ctl is the foundation for the other camunda-* skills (camunda-bpmn, camunda-connectors, camunda-feel, camunda-process-mgmt, camunda-ai-agents).

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 22.18.0 (required for native TypeScript support) — see camunda-development for installing it locally

Cross-References

• camunda-bpmn: Uses c8ctl bpmn lint
• camunda-connectors: Uses c8ctl element-template search/info/get-properties/apply
• camunda-feel: Uses c8ctl feel evaluate
• camunda-process-mgmt: Uses c8ctl deploy, c8ctl run, c8ctl watch, c8ctl list pi, c8ctl search inc, c8ctl complete ut, c8ctl resolve inc, etc.
• camunda-ai-agents: Uses c8ctl element-template search/apply to apply the AI Agent connector template
