A method that listens to its own name can re-trigger itself or collide
with router events. Rejecting that definition keeps declarative and
Python-authored flows aligned before kickoff.
CEL string concatenation currently fails when prompt builders read
missing or null fields. This commit adds `text(root, "path", "default")`
custom CEL helper so prompt text can safely read nested state/output
values.
Point `crewai template list`/`template add` at the crewAIInc-fde GitHub
org so the FDE template_* repos are listed and installed instead of the
crewAIInc ones.

* Support inline skill definitions
This commit adds inline skill loading without a need for a file. It also
DRYs the skill loading feature.
* Address code review suggestions
* Type tool and app in CrewDefinition
This commit fixes a bug in the CrewDefinition class where the tool and
app were not being added.
* Type mcps= parameter
* Add generated Flow Definition authoring skill
Generate a portable skill from the Flow Definition schema so agents can
author valid declarative flows with the same reference CrewAI uses to
validate them. New declarative flow projects now write this skill.
```python
from crewai.flow.flow_definition import FlowDefinition
skill = FlowDefinition.skill(skips=(), examples_format="yaml")
```
* `examples_format` accepts `"yaml"` or `"json"`.
* Supported skips: `conversational`, `non_linear_flows`, `each`, `hitl`, `persistence`, `config`, `expression_action`, `script_action`, `tool_action`
The generated skill includes authoring rules, a routed crew example, and
an API reference extracted from the Flow, action, state, agent, crew,
and task Pydantic schemas.
* Fix declarative flow scaffold without framework import
* Fix skipped expression action guidance
* Fix markdown links in skill
* fix: freeze docs version nav from Edge instead of previous release
The docs cut copied every Edge file into the new `docs/v<X.Y.Z>/`
snapshot but built that version's `docs.json` navigation by cloning the
previous frozen release and only rewriting path prefixes. Pages added to
Edge since the last release were therefore copied to disk yet never
linked in the version selector, which is why the v1.15.0 cut shipped
without the Datadog guide. `_build_new_entry` now clones the Edge nav
entry and rewrites `edge/<locale>/` to `v<new>/<locale>/`, so promoting
Edge to Latest carries every current page and nav restructuring.
* docs: link the v1.15.0 Datadog guide dropped during the cut
The v1.15.0 freeze copied `enterprise/guides/datadog` into the snapshot
for every locale but never linked it in `docs.json`, because the cut
cloned the v1.14.7 nav instead of Edge. This backfills the missing nav
reference in the `en`, `pt-BR`, `ko`, and `ar` v1.15.0 blocks so the
already-shipped page is reachable from the version selector. Pairs with
the `_build_new_entry` fix that prevents future cuts from dropping pages.
* docs: link the v1.15.1 Datadog guide dropped during the cut
The v1.15.1 cut ran before the freeze-from-Edge fix landed, so it
inherited the same bug as v1.15.0: `enterprise/guides/datadog` was
copied into the snapshot for every locale but never linked in
`docs.json`. This backfills the missing nav reference in the `en`,
`pt-BR`, `ko`, and `ar` v1.15.1 blocks so the page is reachable from the
version selector.
JSON-formatted stdout is now the only supported log shape in CrewAI
Enterprise — the `CREWAI_LOG_FORMAT=json` opt-in env var is gone and
no longer needs to be configured in AMP. Removes the "Enabling JSON
output" section, the env-var setup step, the troubleshooting check,
and the `legacy text mode` comparison across the four locale copies
(`en`, `ko`, `pt-BR`, `ar`) of `docs/edge/<lang>/enterprise/guides/datadog.mdx`.
* Require explicit CrewAI project definitions
JSON crews and declarative flows now resolve from `[tool.crewai]`
metadata instead of implicit filename discovery. This makes project type
selection deterministic, prevents stray `crew.json(c)` files from changing
CLI behavior, and centralizes definition path validation for run, install,
deploy validation, plotting, and memory reset paths.
`[tool.crewai].definition` must be a project-local file path. Absolute
paths, `~`, missing files, directories, and paths escaping the project root
are rejected so deploy and runtime commands use the same contract.
Breaking changes and migration paths:
* JSON crew projects are no longer discovered from `crew.json` or
`crew.jsonc` alone. Add explicit metadata:
```toml
[tool.crewai]
type = "crew"
definition = "crew.jsonc"
```
* Declarative flow projects must use a valid project-local definition path:
```toml
[tool.crewai]
type = "flow"
definition = "flows/research.yaml"
```
* `Flow.from_definition(definition)` is removed. Use:
```python
Flow.from_declaration(contents=definition)
```
* `FlowDefinition.to_json()` and `FlowDefinition.to_yaml()` are removed.
Use `FlowDefinition.to_dict()` and serialize with the caller's JSON or
YAML library.
* `FlowDefinition.from_dict()` is removed. Use:
```python
FlowDefinition.from_declaration(contents=data)
```
* `FlowDefinition.json_schema()` is removed. Use Pydantic's schema API only
where schema generation is intentionally needed:
```python
FlowDefinition.model_json_schema(by_alias=True)
```
* `crewai_cli.run_crew.find_crew_json_file()` and `_has_json_crew()` are
removed. Use `configured_project_json_crew()` or the shared
`crewai_core.project.configured_project_definition("crew")` helper.
* `crewai reset-memories` now only loads JSON crews declared through
`[tool.crewai].definition`, and invalid declared JSON crew definitions
fail instead of silently falling back to classic crew discovery.
* Address code review comments
* Track conversational flow turn usage in telemetry
* adjusted name to flow:conversation_turn
* only mark on turn completed event
* ensure tui also emits these events
* fix: enforce owner-only permissions on credential files
Credentials stored at rest were left world-readable on multi-user hosts:
- TokenManager._get_secure_storage_path() documented its credential dir as
mode 0o700 but created it via mkdir() with default perms (0o755), leaving
the Fernet secret.key and encrypted tokens.enc in a traversable dir.
- Settings.dump() persisted tool_repository_password (plaintext) to
settings.json via open("w"), producing a 0o644 file, and created the
config dir at 0o755 — despite the sibling token_manager already writing
secrets atomically at 0o600.
Fixes:
- TokenManager: chmod the credential dir to 0o700 after mkdir (robust against
umask and pre-existing dirs).
- Settings: write settings.json atomically at 0o600 (mkstemp + chmod +
os.replace) and chmod the dedicated config dir to 0o700. The /tmp and cwd
fallback parents are deliberately not chmod'd; the 0o600 file mode protects
the credential there.
Adds regression tests asserting 0o600 files and 0o700 dirs, and that shared
fallback dirs are not globally tightened.

`StateProxy` looked like a thread-safety boundary, but it only protected
a small slice of state operations. Some examples of operations that were
not covered:
- `self.state.counter += 1`, `self.state["counter"] += 1` (increments)
- `self.state.user.profile.score += 1` (nested object mutations)
- `self.state.config["limits"]["max"] = 10` (mutation through model fields)
- `self.state.items[0].status = "done"` (list/container mutations)
This commit decided to remove it completely for simplicity and
performance:
- Simpler runtime code
- attr read: 24x faster, attr write: 27x faster, list append: 19x faster (local benchmark)
- Clearer concurrency contract (lifecycle locks remain, but arbitrary
shared state mutation is not presented as thread-safe)
Declarative flows already used `module:qualname` refs for runtime
objects, but crew JSON tools still had their own lookup path. That meant
examples like `project_tools:LookupTool` were treated as named
`crewai_tools` lookups and failed with guidance that only mentioned
`SerperDevTool` or `custom:<name>`. Invalid refs such as
`not_tools:NotATool` also missed the same BaseTool validation used by
flow tool actions.
Move ref resolution into a shared declarative helper, use it from flow
tool actions and crew JSON loading, and require tool refs to resolve to
`BaseTool` classes before instantiation. Validation still checks tool
refs structurally, so validating a crew does not import or execute
project code.
Allow required JSON schema state fields to be supplied by kickoff inputs
instead of requiring every field to exist in state.default before
runtime.
Example: a flow with required lead_name and no state.default can now run
with kickoff inputs={"lead_name": "Ada Lovelace"}.
The page itself already landed on main via #6247. This rebases onto main
and applies the two remaining changes:
- Nest crew-studio + merged-step-card into a collapsible "Crew Studio"
nav group (pencil icon), across edge and v1.14.7 in en, pt-BR, ko, ar.
- Remove the temporary "Rolling out" Note banner (feature ships today).

* Fix symlink path traversal in skill archive extraction
`_safe_extractall` (the Python < 3.12 fallback used by `crewai skills`
archive unpacking) validated each member's *name* against the destination
but never validated symlink/hardlink *targets*. A malicious skill tarball
could plant a symlink escaping the destination (e.g. `link -> /home/user/.ssh`)
followed by a regular member written through it (`link/authorized_keys`),
escaping `dest` even though every member name resolves inside it — the
classic symlink-extraction traversal.
The 3.12+ path (`extractall(..., filter="data")`) already blocks this; the
fallback now mirrors it by rejecting absolute link targets and any link
target that resolves outside the destination directory.
Adds regression tests covering absolute and relative escaping symlinks plus
benign in-tree symlinks and ordinary archives.

Add a single declaration loader shared by API and CLI callers.
- Add FlowDefinition.from_declaration for FlowDefinition instances, dictionaries, YAML/JSON strings, and file paths
- Add Flow.from_declaration to build runnable flows directly from the same inputs
- Route declarative flow CLI loading through Flow.from_declaration so path handling and validation stay centralized
```
# Load just the serializable definition when you do not need to run it yet.
definition = FlowDefinition.from_declaration(path="flows/research.crewai")
definition = FlowDefinition.from_declaration(contents=flow_yaml)
definition = FlowDefinition.from_declaration(contents=flow_dict)
# Build a runnable flow directly from the same declaration inputs.
flow = Flow.from_declaration(path="flows/research.crewai")
flow = Flow.from_declaration(contents=flow_yaml)
flow = Flow.from_declaration(contents=flow_dict)
flow = Flow.from_declaration(contents=definition)
# Run it like any other flow.
result = flow.kickoff(inputs={"topic": "AI agents"})
# The CLI now goes through the same path-based loader.
# crewai run --definition flows/research.crewai
```
The previous `~=1.34.0` pin kept us on the unmaintained 1.34 line —
last patched as `1.34.1` in June 2025, eight minor releases behind
upstream — and caused `_create_exp_backoff_generator` `ImportError`
crashes in factory deployments where the OpenTelemetry Operator's
injected init container shadows
`opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.common._internal` with >=1.35 while
our `opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc==1.34.1` still imports the
removed private symbol. Pinning to `~=1.42.0` tracks the current
upstream stable line; the resolver now lands on 1.42.1 and our public
OTel trace API usage is unaffected.
Remove redundant startup logs from `crewai run` and make the legacy flow
command warning actionable.
- Stop printing `Running the Flow` and `Running the Crew` before project
execution.
- Stop printing the redundant `Flow started with ID: ...` line while
preserving flow lifecycle event emission.
- Replace Click's generic `kickoff` deprecation warning with a clearer
message that tells users to use `crewai run`.
Inline crews default to `verbose=False`. They set the shared formatter's
`verbose` value in `lib/crewai/src/crewai/crew.py`, which could hide
flow method status from `lib/crewai/src/crewai/events/utils/
console_formatter.py`.
Remove that `verbose` check for flow method status. Flow output is still
controlled by `suppress_flow_events`.
Normal quiet crews are unchanged because crew, task, and agent logs
still use their own `verbose` checks.
