Design and visualize business processes using BPMN 2.0 standard notation with a low-code visual editor. Enables creation of complex workflows with conditional logic, parallel flows, and subprocess management without writing code.
Define and execute complex business decision logic using Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard. Allows creation of decision tables that evaluate multiple conditions and return outcomes without coding.
Maintain comprehensive audit logs of all process activities, decisions, and state changes. Enables compliance reporting and forensic analysis of workflow execution.
Create and render dynamic forms for human task completion within workflows. Supports form validation, conditional fields, and data capture with integration into process execution.
Define complex conditional logic within processes to route execution based on data values, business rules, and external conditions. Supports gateways, expressions, and dynamic path selection.
Create reusable process components and subprocesses that can be called from multiple parent processes. Enables modular process design and reduces duplication.
Schedule process instances to start at specific times or intervals, and set timers within processes for delayed actions or timeouts. Supports cron expressions and event-based scheduling.
Execute defined BPMN processes at scale with support for parallel execution, task assignment, and state management. Handles process instances, task queues, and workflow progression through defined steps.

Generates a complete BubbleLab agent application skeleton through a single CLI command, bootstrapping project structure, dependencies, and configuration files. The generator creates a pre-configured Node.js/TypeScript project with agent framework bindings, allowing developers to immediately begin implementing custom agent logic without manual setup of boilerplate, build configuration, or integration points.
Unique: Provides BubbleLab-specific project scaffolding that pre-integrates the BubbleLab agent framework, configuration patterns, and dependency graph in a single command, eliminating manual framework setup and configuration discovery
vs alternatives: Faster onboarding than manual BubbleLab setup or generic Node.js scaffolders because it bundles framework-specific conventions, dependencies, and example agent patterns in one command
Automatically resolves and installs all required BubbleLab agent framework dependencies, including LLM provider SDKs, agent runtime libraries, and development tools, into the generated project. The initialization process reads a manifest of framework requirements and installs compatible versions via npm, ensuring the project environment is immediately ready for agent development without manual dependency management.
Unique: Encapsulates BubbleLab framework dependency resolution into the scaffolding process, automatically selecting compatible versions of LLM provider SDKs and agent runtime libraries without requiring developers to understand the dependency graph
vs alternatives: Eliminates manual dependency discovery and version pinning compared to generic Node.js project generators, because it knows the exact BubbleLab framework requirements and pre-resolves them
create-bubblelab-app scores higher at 28/100 vs Flowable at 27/100. Flowable leads on adoption and quality, while create-bubblelab-app is stronger on ecosystem.

Generates a pre-configured TypeScript/JavaScript project template with example agent implementations, type definitions, and configuration files that demonstrate BubbleLab patterns. The template includes sample agent classes, tool definitions, and integration examples that developers can extend or replace, providing a concrete starting point for custom agent logic rather than a blank slate.
Unique: Provides BubbleLab-specific agent class templates with working examples of tool integration, LLM provider binding, and agent lifecycle management, rather than generic TypeScript boilerplate
vs alternatives: More immediately useful than blank TypeScript templates because it includes concrete agent implementation patterns and type definitions specific to the BubbleLab framework
Automatically generates build configuration files (tsconfig.json, webpack/esbuild config, or similar) and development server setup for the agent project, enabling TypeScript compilation, hot-reload during development, and optimized production builds. The configuration is pre-tuned for agent workloads and includes necessary loaders, plugins, and optimization settings without requiring manual build tool configuration.
Unique: Pre-configures build tools specifically for BubbleLab agent workloads, including agent-specific optimizations and runtime requirements, rather than generic TypeScript build setup
vs alternatives: Faster than manually configuring TypeScript and build tools because it includes agent-specific settings (e.g., proper handling of async agent loops, LLM API timeouts) out of the box
Generates .env.example and configuration file templates with placeholders for LLM API keys, database credentials, and other runtime secrets required by the agent. The scaffolding includes documentation for each configuration variable and best practices for managing secrets in development and production environments, guiding developers to properly configure their agent before first run.
Unique: Provides BubbleLab-specific environment variable templates with documentation for LLM provider credentials and agent-specific configuration, rather than generic .env templates
vs alternatives: More useful than blank .env templates because it documents which secrets are required for BubbleLab agents and provides guidance on safe credential management
Generates a pre-configured package.json with npm scripts for common agent development workflows: running the agent, building for production, running tests, and linting code. The scripts are tailored to BubbleLab agent execution patterns and include proper environment variable loading, TypeScript compilation, and error handling, allowing developers to execute agents and manage the project lifecycle through standard npm commands.
Unique: Includes BubbleLab-specific npm scripts for agent execution, testing, and deployment workflows, rather than generic Node.js project scripts
vs alternatives: More immediately useful than manually writing npm scripts because it includes agent-specific commands (e.g., 'npm run agent:start' with proper environment setup) pre-configured
Initializes a git repository in the generated project directory and creates a .gitignore file pre-configured to exclude node_modules, .env files with secrets, build artifacts, and other files that should not be version-controlled in an agent project. This ensures developers immediately have a clean git history and proper secret management without manually creating .gitignore rules.
Unique: Provides BubbleLab-specific .gitignore rules that exclude agent-specific artifacts (LLM cache files, API response logs, etc.) in addition to standard Node.js exclusions
vs alternatives: More secure than manual .gitignore creation because it automatically excludes .env files and other secret-containing artifacts that developers might accidentally commit
Generates a comprehensive README.md file with project overview, installation instructions, quickstart guide, and links to BubbleLab documentation. The README includes sections for configuring API keys, running the agent, extending agent logic, and troubleshooting common issues, providing new developers with immediate guidance on how to use and modify the generated project.
Unique: Generates BubbleLab-specific README with agent-focused sections (API key setup, agent execution, tool integration) rather than generic project documentation
vs alternatives: More helpful than blank README templates because it includes BubbleLab-specific setup instructions and links to framework documentation
