tooljet
Build internal tools with ToolJet, the open-source low-code platform. Use when a user asks to create admin dashboards, connect data sources, build CRUD apps with drag-and-drop, or self-host ToolJet.
Best use case
tooljet is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Build internal tools with ToolJet, the open-source low-code platform. Use when a user asks to create admin dashboards, connect data sources, build CRUD apps with drag-and-drop, or self-host ToolJet.
Teams using tooljet should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# ToolJet — Open-Source Low-Code App Builder
## Overview
You are an expert in ToolJet, the open-source low-code platform for building internal tools with a visual app builder. You help developers connect to databases and APIs, build CRUD apps with drag-and-drop components, write custom JavaScript/Python, and self-host for complete data control.
## Instructions
### Setup
```bash
# Docker (recommended)
docker compose up -d
# UI at http://localhost:80
# Kubernetes
helm repo add tooljet https://tooljet.github.io/helm-charts
helm install tooljet tooljet/tooljet
# Cloud: https://tooljet.com (managed hosting)
```
### Data Sources
```javascript
// ToolJet connects to 50+ data sources:
// Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, BigQuery, Snowflake, DynamoDB
// APIs: REST, GraphQL, gRPC
// SaaS: Stripe, Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, Twilio
// Storage: S3, MinIO, GCS
// PostgreSQL query with transformations
// Query: getOrders
SELECT o.*, u.email, u.name
FROM orders o JOIN users u ON o.user_id = u.id
WHERE o.status = {{components.statusFilter.value}}
ORDER BY o.created_at DESC
// JavaScript transformation (runs after query)
return data.map(row => ({
...row,
amount_display: `$${(row.amount / 100).toFixed(2)}`,
created_display: moment(row.created_at).fromNow(),
}));
```
### Events and Actions
```javascript
// Button onClick event — chain multiple actions
// Action 1: Run query
await queries.processRefund.run();
// Action 2: Show notification
actions.showAlert('success', `Refund of $${components.table1.selectedRow.amount} processed`);
// Action 3: Refresh data
await queries.getOrders.run();
// Action 4: Navigate
actions.navigateTo('/orders');
// Conditional logic in event handlers
if (components.table1.selectedRow.status === 'refunded') {
actions.showAlert('warning', 'Already refunded');
return;
}
```
### Multi-Page Apps
```markdown
## App Structure
- Pages: Dashboard, Orders, Users, Settings
- Shared components: Header, Sidebar (persist across pages)
- URL parameters: /orders/:id for detail pages
- Navigation: programmatic (actions.navigateTo) or link components
```
## Examples
**Example 1: User asks to set up tooljet**
User: "Help me set up tooljet for my project"
The agent should:
1. Check system requirements and prerequisites
2. Install or configure tooljet
3. Set up initial project structure
4. Verify the setup works correctly
**Example 2: User asks to build a feature with tooljet**
User: "Create a dashboard using tooljet"
The agent should:
1. Scaffold the component or configuration
2. Connect to the appropriate data source
3. Implement the requested feature
4. Test and validate the output
## Guidelines
1. **Self-host for compliance** — ToolJet is open-source (AGPL); self-host when data must stay on your infrastructure
2. **Query caching** — Enable query caching for frequently accessed data; reduces database load
3. **Environments** — Use ToolJet environments (dev/staging/prod) with different database connections
4. **Custom components** — Build React components for visualizations that don't exist in the component library
5. **Version control** — Export apps as JSON; store in Git for versioning and backup
6. **Granular permissions** — Use groups and app-level permissions to control access
7. **Marketplace plugins** — Browse ToolJet's plugin marketplace for pre-built data source connectors
8. **Audit logs** — Enable audit logging for compliance; track who accessed what dataRelated Skills
zustand
You are an expert in Zustand, the small, fast, and scalable state management library for React. You help developers manage global state without boilerplate using Zustand's hook-based stores, selectors for performance, middleware (persist, devtools, immer), computed values, and async actions — replacing Redux complexity with a simple, un-opinionated API in under 1KB.
zoho
Integrate and automate Zoho products. Use when a user asks to work with Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, Zoho Desk, Zoho Projects, Zoho Mail, or Zoho Creator, build custom integrations via Zoho APIs, automate workflows with Deluge scripting, sync data between Zoho apps and external systems, manage leads and deals, automate invoicing, build custom Zoho Creator apps, set up webhooks, or manage Zoho organization settings. Covers Zoho CRM, Books, Desk, Projects, Creator, and cross-product integrations.
zod
You are an expert in Zod, the TypeScript-first schema declaration and validation library.

zig
Expert guidance for Zig, the systems programming language focused on performance, safety, and readability. Helps developers write high-performance code with compile-time evaluation, seamless C interop, no hidden control flow, and no garbage collector. Zig is used for game engines, operating systems, networking, and as a C/C++ replacement.
zed
Expert guidance for Zed, the high-performance code editor built in Rust with native collaboration, AI integration, and GPU-accelerated rendering. Helps developers configure Zed, create custom extensions, set up collaborative editing sessions, and integrate AI assistants for productive coding.
zeabur
Expert guidance for Zeabur, the cloud deployment platform that auto-detects frameworks, builds and deploys applications with zero configuration, and provides managed services like databases and message queues. Helps developers deploy full-stack applications with automatic scaling and one-click marketplace services.
zapier
Automate workflows between apps with Zapier. Use when a user asks to connect apps without code, automate repetitive tasks, sync data between services, or build no-code integrations between SaaS tools.
