Marketplace

The HELIX Marketplace is a central registry of agent templates, workflows, plugins, skills, and department packs that you can browse, install, and contribute to.

It follows a hybrid model: official templates curated by the HelixNode team, alongside community submissions from HELIX users who want to share their work.

Template Types

Type	Description
Agent	A complete agent configuration — system prompt, tools, and behavior settings. Install it and you have a ready-to-use agent on your board.
Workflow	Multi-step agent coordination. Workflows define how multiple agents collaborate on complex tasks with handoffs and checkpoints.
Skill	A reusable capability that can be attached to any agent — for example, "write SQL queries" or "draft legal contracts."
Plugin	An integration or extension that connects agents to external services (Slack, email, CRM, etc).
Department Pack	A complete department setup — a board with pre-configured agents, skills, and workflows for a specific function like Marketing or Customer Service.

Browsing the Marketplace

The marketplace is fully public — no account or license key needed to browse.

You can:

• Browse by category — Marketing, Customer Service, Operations, Tech, Finance, HR, Sales, Legal, Creative, Data, and General
• Filter by type — See only agents, workflows, plugins, or whatever you need
• Sort by most popular (installs), newest, highest rated, or alphabetical
• Search by name, description, or tags
• View featured templates hand-picked by the HelixNode team

Each template listing shows the author, category, install count, average rating, and a short description. Click into a template for the full details including screenshots, version history, and requirements.

API Endpoints

All browse endpoints are public:

GET /v1/marketplace/templates          # List with filters and pagination
GET /v1/marketplace/templates/:id      # Full template detail
GET /v1/marketplace/categories         # All categories
GET /v1/marketplace/featured           # Curated picks
GET /v1/marketplace/search?q=...       # Full-text search

Installing Templates

Installing a template requires an active HELIX license key. Your HELIX instance sends the key in the X-License-Key header when communicating with the marketplace API.

When you install a template:

1. The full manifest (configuration JSON) is downloaded to your instance
2. Your instance creates the agent, skill, or workflow locally from the manifest
3. The install is logged for analytics (popularity tracking) and your license's install count

Templates are configuration only — no executable code is downloaded. Everything runs through your own HELIX instance and your own AI model keys.

To uninstall, simply remove the agent/skill/workflow from your instance. The marketplace tracks active installs per license for plan limit enforcement.

API Endpoints

POST /v1/marketplace/templates/:id/install     # Log install
POST /v1/marketplace/templates/:id/uninstall   # Log uninstall
GET  /v1/marketplace/templates/:id/manifest    # Download manifest JSON

Submitting Templates

Any HELIX user with an active license can submit templates to the marketplace.

Submission Process

1. Create a creator profile — Choose a username and fill in your display name and bio
2. Submit your template — Provide the name, description, category, tags, and the manifest JSON
3. Review — The HelixNode team reviews submissions for quality, accuracy, and safety
4. Published — Once approved, your template appears in the marketplace with your name as the author

Submissions go through the following statuses:

• pending — Submitted, waiting for review
• in_review — A reviewer is evaluating it
• approved — Accepted and published to the marketplace
• rejected — Not accepted (reviewer notes explain why)
• revision_requested — Close, but needs changes before approval

You can check your submission status at any time.

Reviews and Ratings

Users with an active license can leave a rating (1-5 stars) and review on any template. One review per license per template. Reviews help other users find the best templates and give feedback to creators.

GET  /v1/marketplace/templates/:id/reviews     # List reviews (public)
POST /v1/marketplace/templates/:id/reviews     # Submit a review
