Set up Creatio AI app development toolkit
Set up the toolkit to start building Creatio apps with your coding agent. Use the Setup Wizard — a guided installer that prepares your local environment for working with coding agents. The Setup Wizard installs any missing required tools automatically. It downloads the required tools and the toolkit plugin from the internet, including a public GitHub repository, so your computer needs internet access to these resources.
Before you begin, download the Creatio AI app development toolkit installer for your operating system: Windows or macOS.
Security software on your computer, such as an antivirus, might block the download or remove files from the archive. If the archive is empty or the download fails, check the settings of your security software.
If your security policy does not allow sharing environment credentials with an LLM, connect to the Creatio environment directly through Clio before starting work. In this case, the agent uses the existing Clio connection and you do not need to provide credentials in the prompt. Learn more: Set up Creatio instance for working with Clio (vendor documentation).
Setting up the toolkit consists of the following steps:
- Launch the Setup Wizard — run the installer to open the main setup page. Read more >>>
- Detect coding agents — check which supported coding agents are installed. Read more >>>
- Check required tools — verify that .NET 10 SDK, Python 3, Git, Clio, and Code agent CLI are installed and up to date. Read more >>>
- Install plugin — download and install the toolkit plugin for your coding agents. Read more >>>
- Launch agent — open the toolkit in your coding agent. Read more >>>
1. Launch the Setup Wizard
Run the "Creatio AI App Development Toolkit.exe" file with administrator rights from the folder where you unpacked the installer. The Creatio AI Toolkit Setup main page opens and lists the setup steps.
2. Detect coding agents
On the Detect coding agents step, the wizard scans the computer and displays the status of each supported coding agent: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex.
-
Review the status of each agent and complete the matching action:
- If the status is "Installed," no action is required.
- If the status is "Not installed," click the Install button next to the agent to install it.
You need at least one coding agent installed to continue the toolkit installation. Click Check again to re-run the detection.
-
Click Continue.
3. Check required tools
On the Check required tools step, the wizard scans the computer and displays the status of each required tool: .NET 10 SDK, Clio, Python 3, Git, and Code agent CLI.
-
Review the status of each tool and complete the matching action:
- If the status is "Installed," no action is required.
- If the status is "Outdated," click the Update button next to the tool to install the latest available version.
- If the status is "Not installed," click the Install button next to the tool.
Click Check again to re-run the check.
-
Click Continue.
4. Install plugin
On the Install plugin step, the wizard downloads the latest version of the toolkit plugin and skills and registers them for your coding agents.
Click Install plugin. The wizard installs the toolkit plugin for all detected coding agents automatically.
For coding agents not supported by the wizard, install the plugin manually. Learn more: Creatio AI app development toolkit on GitHub. If needed, ask your coding agent to help you with the installation.
Click Check again to re-run the installation check.
5. Launch agent
On the Launch agent step, the wizard shows all detected coding agents ready to use with the toolkit.
Click Open next to your preferred coding agent to start a session with the installed toolkit skills loaded.
In the first session, the toolkit asks for your consent to collect usage analytics. Creatio uses the analytics to improve the toolkit. To withdraw consent, ask the agent to turn off usage analytics. If you declined earlier and want to give consent, ask the agent to delete the stored consent file. The agent asks for consent again at the start of the next workflow. Learn more about the collected data: Creatio AI app development toolkit.
As a result, the coding agent launches with the toolkit skills loaded and is ready for application development on the Creatio platform. To start, mention the creatio-app-orchestrator skill in your agent chat.
