fix: align OSS client with AMP API contract

- download_skill(): fetch download_url (presigned URL) instead of expecting inline base64. Falls back to 'file' field for compat. - Read 'latest_version' field, fall back to 'version' - Same fixes applied to CLI install() command
fix: update test assertions to match tightened error messages

-title: Platform Tools CLI
-description: Create, publish, and install custom tools on the CrewAI platform using the CLI.
-icon: terminal
-mode: "wide"
---
-
-## Overview
-
-The CrewAI CLI provides commands to manage custom tools on the **CrewAI platform** — a hosted tool registry that lets you share tools within your organization without publishing to PyPI.
-
-| Command | Purpose |
-|---------|---------|
-| `crewai tool create <handle>` | Scaffold a new tool project |
-| `crewai tool publish` | Publish the tool to the CrewAI platform |
-| `crewai tool install <handle>` | Install a platform tool into your crew project |
-
-<Note type="info" title="Platform vs PyPI">
-  These commands manage tools on the **CrewAI platform registry**. If you want to publish a standalone Python package to PyPI instead, see the [Publish Custom Tools to PyPI](/en/guides/tools/publish-custom-tools) guide.
-</Note>
-
-## Prerequisites
-
- **CrewAI CLI** installed (`pip install crewai`)
- **Authenticated** with the platform — run `crewai login` first
-
---
-
-## Step 1: Create a Tool Project
-
-Scaffold a new tool project:
-
-```bash
-crewai tool create my_custom_tool
-```
-
-This generates a project structure with the boilerplate you need to start building your tool.
-
-<Tip>
-  The `handle` is the unique identifier for your tool on the platform. Choose something descriptive and specific to what the tool does.
-</Tip>
-
-### Implement Your Tool
-
-Edit the generated tool file to add your logic. The tool follows the standard CrewAI tools contract — you can subclass `BaseTool` or use the `@tool` decorator:
-
-```python
-from crewai.tools import BaseTool
-
-class MyCustomTool(BaseTool):
-    name: str = "My Custom Tool"
-    description: str = "Description of what this tool does — be specific so agents know when to use it."
-
-    def _run(self, argument: str) -> str:
-        # Your tool logic here
-        return "result"
-```
-
-For the full tools API reference (input schemas, caching, async support, error handling), see the [Create Custom Tools](/en/learn/create-custom-tools) guide.
-
---
-
-## Step 2: Publish to the Platform
-
-From your tool project directory, publish it to the CrewAI platform:
-
-```bash
-crewai tool publish
-```
-
-### Options
-
-| Flag | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `--force` | Bypass Git remote validations |
-
-Tools are published privately to your organization by default.
-
---
-
-## Step 3: Install a Platform Tool
-
-To install a tool that's been published to the platform:
-
-```bash
-crewai tool install my_custom_tool
-```
-
-Once installed, you can use the tool in your crew like any other tool — assign it to an agent via the `tools` parameter.
-
---
-
-## Full Lifecycle Example
-
-```bash
-# 1. Authenticate with the platform
-crewai login
-
-# 2. Scaffold a new tool
-crewai tool create weather_lookup
-
-# 3. Implement your logic in the generated project
-cd weather_lookup
-# ... edit the tool file ...
-
-# 4. Publish to the platform
-crewai tool publish
-
-# 5. In another project, install and use it
-crewai tool install weather_lookup
-```
-
---
-
-## Platform Tools vs PyPI Packages
-
-| | Platform Tools | PyPI Packages |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Publish** | `crewai tool publish` | `uv build` + `uv publish` |
-| **Registry** | CrewAI platform | PyPI |
-| **Install** | `crewai tool install <handle>` | `pip install <package>` |
-| **Auth** | `crewai login` | PyPI account + token |
-| **Visibility** | Organization-scoped (private) | Always public |
-| **Guide** | This page | [Publish Custom Tools](/en/guides/tools/publish-custom-tools) |

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
alex-clawd	32463863bd	fix: align OSS client with AMP API contract - download_skill(): fetch download_url (presigned URL) instead of expecting inline base64. Falls back to 'file' field for compat. - Read 'latest_version' field, fall back to 'version' - Same fixes applied to CLI install() command	2026-05-19 22:57:35 -07:00
alex-clawd	3790ad71cb	fix: update test assertions to match tightened error messages	2026-05-19 16:38:32 -07:00
alex-clawd	74dff2da3d	fix: tighten @org/name ref validation to prevent path traversal Reject refs with multiple slashes (@org/a/b), dot segments (@../skill), or leading dots in org/name. Applied to both CLI install() and SDK parse_registry_ref() so the contract is enforced consistently.	2026-05-19 15:55:43 -07:00
alex-clawd	a2e534821b	fix: write .crewai_meta.json in fallback install path CodeRabbit caught that the ImportError fallback in install() didn't write cache metadata, making skills invisible to 'crewai skill list'.	2026-05-19 15:51:02 -07:00

alex-clawd	e3466f923a	refactor: reuse SDK parser and SkillCacheManager in CLI - _parse_frontmatter() now delegates to crewai.skills.parser.parse_frontmatter when available, with a minimal fallback for CLI-only installs - install() global cache path now reuses SkillCacheManager.store() instead of duplicating metadata writing logic	2026-05-19 15:43:48 -07:00

alex-clawd	9965d67bb5	feat: add Skills Repository — registry, cache, CLI, and SDK integration Adds a Skills Repository feature allowing users to publish, install, and use skills from the CrewAI registry with @org/skill-name refs. ## What's New ### SDK (lib/crewai/) - SkillFrontmatter: added optional 'version' field (backward compatible) - SkillCacheManager: manages ~/.crewai/skills/{org}/{name}/ with .crewai_meta.json tracking, path-traversal-safe tar extraction - SkillRegistry: parse @org/skill-name refs, local-first resolution (./skills/ > cache > download), interactive prompt on first use, CI-mode guard (CREWAI_NONINTERACTIVE/CI env vars) - Agent.skills and Crew.skills widened to accept str refs (@org/name) - set_skills() resolves registry refs with org-prefixed dedup keys - New events: SkillDownloadStartedEvent, SkillDownloadCompletedEvent ### CLI (lib/cli/) - crewai skill create <name> — context-aware (project vs standalone) - crewai skill install @org/name — downloads to ./skills/ or cache - crewai skill publish — ZIP + upload to org registry - crewai skill list — show installed skills ### PlusAPI (lib/crewai-core/) - Added SKILLS_RESOURCE, get_skill(), publish_skill(), list_skills() ### Scaffolding - crew and flow templates now include skills/ directory ### Tests - 91 SDK skill tests + 15 CLI skill tests, all passing	2026-05-19 11:51:08 -07:00
