Create, validate, simulate and deploy Camunda 8 BPMN processes, forms and DMN from an agent.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open BPMN Kit in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

@bpmnkit/cli

Command-line interface for Camunda 8 — deploy, manage, and monitor processes from the terminal

[npm] [license] [typescript] [ai-assisted] [tier: core]

Website · Documentation · GitHub · Changelog

Core tier. Semver at 1.0: nothing breaks without a major release. See product tiers.


Overview

@bpmnkit/cli provides the casen command-line tool for interacting with Camunda 8 clusters. Manage profiles, deploy processes, run queries, and generate connector templates — all from your terminal.

Installation

sh
npm install -g @bpmnkit/cli# orpnpm add -g @bpmnkit/cli

Quick Start

Develop locally — no cluster needed

sh
casen dev

Opens every .bpmn, .dmn and .form file in the folder in the BPMN Kit editor in your browser, with simulation. Saves go back to disk with the file's formatting kept, changes made elsewhere reload live, and each change re-runs lint and the file's .bpmn.tests.json scenarios. See casen dev.

Configure a profile

sh
casen profile add my-cluster# Interactive prompts for base URL and auth type

Deploy a process

sh
casen deploy order-process.bpmn

List process instances

sh
casen instances list --state active
