## What it does

The skill executes single actions (`action execute`), segment-wide batches (`action execute-batch`), multi-step workflows (`run create`) and queries ClickHouse execution tables. Before a full batch it requires a 10–20 record sample run and user approval. Every node execution costs 0.01 credits, regardless of node type — `branch`, `filter` and `variables` count too.

Before writing JSON by hand, `action list <keywords>` searches the integration catalog, native operations and workspace workflows, returning a ready `action` object with `connectorUuid` filled in and credit costs listed. For debugging a single node in an existing workflow there is `node execute`, but for a normal run `action execute` is enough. You can draw the graph with `node diagram --format ascii` — it shows routing, fallback edges and which steps will bill.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills --skill cargo-orchestration -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cargo-orchestration/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cargo-orchestration/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills --skill cargo-orchestration -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cargo-orchestration/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills --skill cargo-orchestration -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cargo-orchestration/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install getcargohq/cargo-skills cargo-orchestration
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/cargo-orchestration/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills --skill cargo-orchestration -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/getcargohq/cargo-skills --path cargo-orchestration
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/cargo-orchestration/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add getcargohq/cargo-skills --skill cargo-orchestration -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/getcargohq/cargo-skills/tree/HEAD/cargo-orchestration/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- run a connector action on one record or a batch across a segment
- build a multi-step workflow with branching and agent calls
- draw a workflow graph in ASCII or Mermaid before deployment
- query execution tables (runs, batches, spans, records) with SQL
- check batch cost on a sample before running the full enrollment

## Example prompts
- Run the `enrichDomain` action on all contacts for domain `example.com`
- Build a workflow: enrich email via API, then send to HubSpot if domain matches
- Show the graph for workflow `abc123` in ASCII and tell me the credit cost

description: "Make Cargo actually run something, or show what it would run — execute one connector action, run a multi-step workflow, trigger a batch across a whole segment or model, message an AI agent, build or edit a node graph, draw a workflow, tool or play as a diagram, and query the runtime tables (runs, batches, spans, records) with SQL. Triggers: \"run this on all my contacts\", \"execute the action\", \"kick off a batch\", \"build a workflow\", \"schedule a play\", \"make it run every morning\", \"ask the agent\", \"show me the workflow\", \"what does this tool do\", \"visualize this play\", \"draw the graph\", \"explain this workflow\", \"how many runs failed today\", \"what is the output schema for this action\", \"add a step that\". Skip when: explaining why a run misbehaved — use cargo-diagnostics; downloading result files — use cargo-analytics; committing the workflow as code — use cargo-project."

# Cargo CLI — Orchestration

Runtime operations for the Cargo platform.

**What do you want to run?**

```
Need to run something?
├── Don't know the action yet    → action list <keywords>
├── One action, one record       → action execute
├── One action, many records     → action execute-batch
├── Multiple actions chained
│   ├── One-off / ad-hoc         → run create --nodes (one record)
│   │                              batch create --nodes (many records)
│   └── Reusable workflow        → build a tool, then run create --workflow-uuid
│                                  or batch create --workflow-uuid
├── Conversational AI agent      → message create
└── Testing ONE node of a
    workflow you're building     → node execute (debug only — see below)
```

> **Fanning out across many records (`action execute-batch`, `batch create`)? Sample first.** Run 10–20 records, report the observed cost and hit-rate, then ask the user to approve the full enrollment — quoting the **record count** and the **credit estimate**. See [Create a batch → the sample gate](#the-sample-gate).

> **Every node execution costs 0.01 credits — 1 credit per 100 — whatever the node is.**
