Definition
A Fluent CLI Blueprint is a JSON manifest file that acts as a "recipe" for rapidly deploying a pre-configured collection of modules to a Fluent Commerce Account. Rather than installing modules one at a time, a Blueprint declares an entire set — referencing them via official "Reference" shorthand names (e.g., core, order), organizational "Namespaced" modules, or "Custom" modules — enabling version-controlled, repeatable environment setup.Blueprints follow a five-phase lifecycle — Design → Validate → Config → Install → Manage — and include smart deployment logic that automatically handles upgrades, resumes interrupted installs, and skips modules already at the target version.
