Application Templates & CLI

Application Templates turn approved agent capabilities into repeatable, version-controlled delivery packages.

Anatomy of an AEP Application Blueprint

Every template bundle downloaded from AEP contains four canonical artifacts:

├── manifest.yaml          # Blueprint metadata, schema version, SOR controls
├── src/
│   └── handler.ts         # Type-safe entrypoint invoking the agent runtime
├── package.json           # Isolated dependencies with pinned supply-chain digests
├── tsconfig.json          # Strict TypeScript compiler options
└── .gitignore             # Pre-configured to prevent secret commits

Manifest Example (manifest.yaml)

# AEP Governed Application Blueprint
schema_version: aep.app/v1
id: app-fraud-review-desk
name: Fraud review desk
template_ref: tpl-fraud-review-desk
project_id: proj-promo-workbench
environment: staging
governance:
  enforce_policy: true
  evidence_required: true
  two_person_rule: true
network:
  ingress:
    allowed_sources: ["aix-gateway"]
  egress:
    allowed_destinations: ["aix-mcp.aix-cloud:8081", "aix-agent.aix-cloud:8443"]

CLI Inner-Loop Scaffolding

Initialize your local project workspace using the aix CLI:

# 1. Initialize from approved template
aix aep init --template tpl-fraud-review-desk --project proj-promo-workbench
 
# 2. Run local mock verification
aix aep precheck --local
 
# 3. Package and submit for CI/CD evidence signing
aix aep package --target gcp
