In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, edit, or debug scheduled, webhook-triggered, or manually triggered data integrations.
Why use it?
It explains how to start data transfers, process records in order, handle branches, and manage errors.

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

building-flows 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 341 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Building Flows

A flow moves data from one or more source systems to one or more destination systems. It runs on a schedule, in response to events (webhooks, listeners), or when triggered by another flow. Flows are the primary way integrations get work done in Celigo.

A flow has page generators (exports that fetch data) and page processors (imports and lookups that process each record). Processors run sequentially in a flat list, or conditionally through routers that branch records to different paths. These processing pipeline mechanics -- routers, branches, page processors, response mapping -- are shared with APIs and tools (see building-apis and building-tools).

What Starts a Flow

Flows start themselves -- this is the biggest thing that separates them from APIs (invoked by an HTTP caller) and tools (invoked by a consumer). Every flow begins with one or more page generators, of two kinds:

  • Scheduled exports -- the flow runs on a cron cadence and each run pulls from the source: everything (full sync), only what changed since the last run (delta sync), records matching a query, or files landed in an FTP/SFTP/S3 folder. The right primitive for batch work: nightly reconciliations, hourly delta syncs, backfills, off-peak windows.
  • Listeners -- the source pushes to the flow. A webhook fires (or a NetSuite/Salesforce native real-time event triggers) and the payload immediately starts flowing. No schedule; the flow runs as events arrive. The right primitive for event-driven work ("when X happens, do Y"), especially when latency matters.

A flow can mix both, and multi-generator designs are common:

  • Real-time plus batch safety net -- a listener catches events as they fire; a scheduled export reconciles at off-peak hours, catching up after webhook outages
  • Consolidating sources -- customers from Salesforce AND HubSpot, each with its own generator, feeding the same downstream pipeline
  • Different slices of the same source -- one export pulls new records, another pulls updated records, when the API exposes them separately

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

building-flows is a skill published in the GitHub repository celigo/ai (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 5,372 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
