## What it does

This skill covers the Celigo Marketplace catalog of pre-built integration blueprints: flows, exports, imports, connections and scripts you can install instead of building from scratch. Every listing is either a Template or an Integration App, and most decisions come down to that split.

Templates arrive fully unlocked. Each resource becomes yours to rename, restructure or rewrite, and no ongoing updates follow — if the source application's API changes, you carry the fix. Integration Apps go the other way: steps, their connections and the shipped code are upgrade-protected, so the vendor can push bug fixes and new features without breaking your edits. Get the choice wrong and the failure modes are opposite. A Template where you needed an IA leaves you owning the integration forever with no upstream fixes; an IA where you needed a Template hits the locked-component ceiling as soon as you customize past what it exposes.

Connections are never copied, and nothing maps them for you. The blueprint ships placeholder ids, so before an API install you pick or create a connection for every one the preview lists, then send a `connectionMap` keyed by every template connection id — a partial map is refused. Pulling a single flow or export out of a template works the same way: no command copies one element, so you recreate it from the preview in dependency order — scripts first, then exports and imports, then the flow with `_integrationId` set.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install celigo/ai using-marketplace-templates
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/using-marketplace-templates/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

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

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/celigo/ai --path skills/using-marketplace-templates
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill using-marketplace-templates -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/using-marketplace-templates/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- tell a Template from an Integration App before installing
- install a ready-made flow instead of building one
- reuse a single export from someone else's template
- map connections for an API install
- decide when a blueprint is the wrong starting point

## Example prompts
- which Celigo templates match my source and destination
- I only want the customer export from this template — what do I need to do
- build the connectionMap for installing this template

description: Find, install, and reuse pre-built integration blueprints from the Celigo Marketplace -- Templates (unlocked, fully editable, no ongoing updates) and Integration Apps (vendor-maintained, upgrade-protected, receive updates). Covers whole-template install versus recreating a single element from the template preview, how connections are mapped rather than copied, and when to start from a blueprint instead of building from scratch. Use when browsing the marketplace, installing a template or Integration App, reusing one flow, export, or import from a template in your own integration, or checking what publishing your own templates and Integration Apps takes.

# Using Marketplace Templates

The Celigo Marketplace is a catalog of **pre-built integration blueprints** -- packaged flows, exports, imports, connections, and scripts you can browse, install, or reuse instead of building from scratch. Each listing is a **Template** or an **Integration App (IA)** (`docType` `Template` or `Connector`). A template installs either an integration or an MCP server (its `type`), and the AI agent listings are integration templates tagged `aiagent` whose flows carry an AI agent step. Most decisions come down to Templates vs Integration Apps.

## Templates vs Integration Apps

**Templates** are open, customizable blueprints. Every flow, export, import, and script ships into your account as your own editable resource -- rename, restructure, or rewrite anything. The trade-off: templates **receive no ongoing updates**. A template is a starting point, not a maintained product; if the source application's API changes, you carry the fix.
