## What it does

The skill directs how to construct `AiAgentImport` steps within Celigo pipelines. Instead of writing records to a remote system, this step pushes them through an LLM. The model interprets the incoming payload using a system instruction (up to 1,000,000 characters for built-in providers) and outputs structured data downstream.

Providers split into two groups. OpenAI runs under `aiAgent.openai{}`, while Gemini and Claude use `aiAgent.litellm{}`. Catalog providers use a flat configuration layout and strictly require a BYOK `_connectionId`. Omitting the credential ID throws a 422 `connection_required` error immediately.

An agent has no standalone trigger. It operates only when a parent flow delivers a record or through chat requests. Record data maps into exactly four input fields: `text`, `record`, `files`, or `conversationHistoryId`. Responses configured with `json_schema` flow into mapping via the `_json` prefix.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill configuring-ai-agents -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill configuring-ai-agents -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill configuring-ai-agents -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install celigo/ai configuring-ai-agents
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/configuring-ai-agents/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill configuring-ai-agents -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/celigo/ai --path skills/configuring-ai-agents
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill configuring-ai-agents -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/celigo/ai/tree/HEAD/skills/configuring-ai-agents/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- configure `AiAgentImport` steps to classify or extract record data in Celigo
- define structured `json_schema` response templates for downstream mapping
- connect web search, MCP servers, or Celigo Tools to the agent
- map output fields back into flow records using the `_json` prefix

## Example prompts
- Set up an AiAgentImport step using OpenAI to classify incoming support tickets
- Create a json_schema output definition for extracting invoice line items
- Configure an Anthropic agent step with tool use and response mapping via _json

# Configuring AI Agents

An AI agent is an **LLM-powered import step** that processes records through an AI model instead of writing them to an external system. Records flow in, the model processes them according to instructions, and structured output flows back into the pipeline.

AI agents handle four concerns:

- **Prompt design** -- the system instruction that defines the model's behavior, goals, and constraints (up to 1,000,000 characters on the built-in providers). The prompt receives each record as context and must produce output that downstream steps can consume
- **Structured output** -- `json_schema` output format forces the model to return data conforming to a JSON Schema, enabling reliable field extraction for mapping. `text` returns free-form responses. `blob` returns binary data (image generation)
- **Tool use** -- the model can call web search, MCP server tools, Celigo Tool resources, or image generation during processing. Tools extend the model's capabilities beyond its training data
- **Response mapping** -- extract fields from the model's response back into the record for downstream steps. Configured on the flow's `pageProcessors[]` entry as `{"fields": [{"extract": "_json.category", "generate": "category"}]}`, but planned when building the agent. A `json_schema` response is available via `_json`

AI agents do not require a `_connectionId` unless using BYOK (bring your own key). Without one, built-in providers use platform-managed credentials; catalog providers are BYOK-only and require one.

Used across flows, APIs, and tools. An agent has no trigger or schedule of its own: it runs when one of those hands it a record, or when a chat request sends it a message. A request like "every morning" or "whenever an order arrives" needs the parent flow built too, with the agent as one of its steps.

## AI Agent Imports

Invoke an LLM for classification, extraction, summarization, translation, or generation. `aiAgent.provider` takes any value in the enum in [aiagent.yml](references/schemas/aiagent.yml), and providers come in two families with different config formats:

- **Built-in providers** -- each has its own config block and runs on Celigo AI or BYOK credentials:
