Use this skill when someone needs a Camunda 8 cluster to work against — run one locally to try a process, connect to SaaS or Self-Managed, switch profiles, or set local connector secrets — and before other skills run c8ctl. Installs and configures c8ctl, the Camunda 8 CLI. Not for databases or other local services.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Camunda c8ctl CLI

Install and use [c8ctl](https://github.com/camunda/c8ctl) — the minimal-dependency CLI for Camunda 8.8+ — for connecting to clusters, deploying resources, and managing process automation. c8ctl is the foundation for the other camunda-* skills (`camunda-bpmn`, `camunda-connectors`, `camunda-feel`, `camunda-process-mgmt`, `camunda-ai-agents`).

## Prerequisites

- **Node.js ≥ 22.18.0** (required for native TypeScript support) — see **camunda-development** for installing it locally

## Cross-References

- **camunda-bpmn**: Uses `c8ctl bpmn lint`
- **camunda-connectors**: Uses `c8ctl element-template search/info/get-properties/apply`
- **camunda-feel**: Uses `c8ctl feel evaluate`
- **camunda-process-mgmt**: Uses `c8ctl deploy`, `c8ctl run`, `c8ctl watch`, `c8ctl list pi`, `c8ctl search inc`, `c8ctl complete ut`, `c8ctl resolve inc`, etc.
- **camunda-ai-agents**: Uses `c8ctl element-template search/apply` to apply the AI Agent connector template

## Instructions

### Quick readiness check (onboarding)

Use this quick check when a user is new to c8ctl and you want to confirm the machine is ready before deeper setup:

```bash
# Required runtime

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add camunda/skills/camunda-c8ctl@sha256:442b07fd17f3d437

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.8802b5d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
