## What it does

This skill handles one area — how workflows connect in Pipefy. It lists pipe-to-pipe relations, creates new ones, changes their config (auto-fill, constraints) and deletes them. Card links are a separate path: two cards are joined through an existing pipe relation.

Eight operations sit inside, split into reads and writes. Reads: `get_pipe_relations`, `get_table_relations`, `get_card_relations`. Writes: `create_pipe_relation`, `update_pipe_relation`, `delete_pipe_relation`, `create_card_relation`, `delete_card_relation`. Deletion is flagged as destructive, so the skill shows the affected relation and asks for approval first. MCP clients and CLI users get separate references in the repo: `references/mcp.md` and `references/cli.md`.

Identifiers are where people trip. In `create_card_relation` the `source_id` argument is the pipe relation ID from `get_pipe_relations`, not the pipe ID. Pass the pipe ID and the call fails with "relation not found". Tables work the same way: `get_table_relations` takes table-relation IDs rather than table IDs, and the list must not be empty. Connector-field links are written elsewhere — through `update_card`, where `update_card_field` replaces the whole ID list. Worth checking which link type you actually need before touching anything.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-relations -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-relations -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-relations -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install pipefy/ai-toolkit pipefy-relations
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-relations -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/pipefy/ai-toolkit --path plugins/pipefy/skills/pipefy-relations
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pipefy/ai-toolkit --skill pipefy-relations -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/pipefy/ai-toolkit/tree/HEAD/plugins/pipefy/skills/pipefy-relations/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- link two cards through an existing pipe relation
- create a parent-child relation between two pipes
- list every relation on a card before editing it
- set auto-fill and constraints on a pipe relation
- remove a relation after showing what it affects

## Example prompts
- list the relations on pipe 67890 and find the ID I need
- link card <PARENT_CARD_ID> to <CHILD_CARD_ID> through the pipe relation
- create a relation between pipes 111 and 222 named Support Escalation

# Connections & Relations

MCP clients: read [references/mcp.md](references/mcp.md). CLI users: read [references/cli.md](references/cli.md). Examples below describe shared operation arguments.

Link processes and cards across workflows.

## Key concepts

- **Pipe relations** define parent/child structure between pipes (who connects to whom, constraints, auto-fill). Use `get_pipe_relations` on a pipe to list relation IDs and metadata.
- **Card relations** connect individual cards through an existing pipe relation: pass `source_id` = the pipe relation's ID (from `get_pipe_relations`). Default `sourceType` is `PipeRelation`; use `extra_input` (e.g., `sourceType: Field`) when the API requires a field-based link — see `introspect_type` on `CreateCardRelationInput`.
- **Table relations** in GraphQL are loaded by table-relation ID, not by database table ID: `get_table_relations` takes a non-empty list of those IDs.
- **Connector fields** are card fields (connection type), not pipe relations for *writes*. Prefer `update_card` + `field_updates` with `operation` ADD/REMOVE (related **card ids**). `update_card_field` is **replace-all** of the full id list; `get_card` `value` is display titles only — do not rebuild from it. This skill's `get_card_relations` still **reads** connector-field links (with card ids). `create_card_relation` / `delete_card_relation` write links through a pipe relation and are incremental — pick the surface that matches the link type.
