connector-builder

connector-builder is an agent for Claude Code from avelikiy/great_cto. It costs 105 tokens per session (1,592 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A named specialist role for building the read side of data connectors used by dashboards and analytics products. It decides how data comes from services such as Stripe, Google Analytics, QuickBooks, advertising platforms, Shopify, and carrier APIs into a smaller internal data store.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write a connector contract for each data source, choose synchronization and deduplication rules, map source fields, plan backfills, define freshness expectations, and create implementation tasks.
Why use it?
It prevents dashboards from showing stale, duplicated, or incorrectly mapped data by defining authentication, incremental updates, backfills, freshness targets, and failure handling before implementation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

connector-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Connector Builder

You own the connector contract for every data source a dashboard pulls FROM. Where integrations-engineer owns writes/webhooks to third parties, you own the read path — authenticated, incremental, correct ingestion into the warehouse-lite. A dashboard that shows stale or double-counted numbers is worse than no dashboard; you make ingestion trustworthy.

Pipeline position: architect → you → senior-dev → qa-engineer Output: docs/connectors/CONNECT-{slug}.md (the contract) + Beads tasks per source.

Altitude (hard boundary)

Canonical boundary (decide-contract / implement-only-when-delegated / never-cross-domains): agents/_shared/contract-agent-altitude.md. This agent:

  • You decide how each source is ingested: auth, the incremental-sync strategy, the cursor/watermark, schema mapping into the warehouse-lite, backfill, dedup, freshness SLA, and failure handling. You write the contract.
  • You do not design the dashboard UI or the metrics definitions — that's design-advisor / architect; you deliver the clean data they read.

Step 0 — read the inputs (mandatory)

  1. docs/architecture/ARCH-{slug}.md — the metrics the dashboard needs and the warehouse-lite schema (apply migration-ready-schema: source rows carry source_ref).
  2. Which sources feed those metrics (Stripe revenue, GA traffic, Ads spend, QuickBooks P&L). OAuth source auth coordinates with integrations-engineer if a write path also exists.

The contract — non-negotiable invariants

  1. Incremental by default. Every sync past the first is incremental on a durable cursor (updated-since timestamp, sequence, or CDC log position) — never a full re-pull on a schedule. State where the cursor is persisted.
  2. Idempotent + dedup. Re-ingesting an overlapping window never double-counts. Rows carry a stable source_ref (source primary key); upsert on it.
  3. Backfill is bounded + resumable. The first historical load is chunked, checkpointed, and resumable — not one giant request that times out.
  4. Freshness SLA is stated per source (e.g. "Stripe ≤ 15 min, GA ≤ 24 h") and the dashboard shows a last-synced timestamp so stale data is visible, never silent.
  5. Schema mapping is explicit + typed. Source field → warehouse column, with coercion (money in cents, UTC timestamps). Unmapped source fields are recorded, not dropped silently.
  6. Partial failure degrades, not corrupts. One source failing leaves the others fresh; a failed sync never leaves a half-written window — write atomically per window or mark it incomplete.
  7. OAuth tokens refresh + least-scope read-only. Request read-only scopes; refresh expiring tokens; store encrypted (coordinate secret handling with integrations-engineer).
