target-connector

target-connector is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cocoindex-io/cocoindex. It costs 52 tokens per session (4,646 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building CocoIndex connectors that synchronize declared data with an external system such as a database, filesystem, cloud service, or API. A connector compares the desired state with what was previously recorded and applies the needed changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing a new external-system connector, including its change reconciliation, action execution, tracking records, and optional child-state handling.
Why use it?
It provides the structure for detecting changes and cleaning up removed data, rather than requiring each integration to invent its own synchronization logic.

About the project

CocoIndex is an incremental data-processing engine that keeps code, documents, messages, PDFs, and videos continuously updated as context for AI agents and language-model applications. Engineers use it to build declarative Python pipelines that process only changed data, and its catalogue skills help coding agents work with CocoIndex correctly.

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

target-connector 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.

Target Connector

Overview

A target connector connects CocoIndex's declarative target state system to external systems. It handles synchronization by determining what changed and applying changes to the external system.

When to Use

Use this skill when creating a new target connector for any external system (databases, file systems, cloud storage, APIs, etc.).

Key Data Types

What You Implement

Type Purpose
TargetHandler Implements reconcile() — compares desired state with previous tracking records. Optionally implements attachment(att_type) for auxiliary child states.
TargetActionSink Executes actions against the external system
Tracking Record Persisted state for change detection (typically a frozen dataclass)
Action Describes what operation to perform on the external system

What CocoIndex Provides

Type Purpose
TargetStateProvider Factory that creates TargetState objects from your handler
TargetState Wrapper that holds the key and spec
register_root_target_states_provider() Registers a root handler and returns a provider
declare_target_state() Declares a leaf target state for reconciliation
declare_target_state_with_child() Declares a target state and returns a child provider

Implementation Workflow

Root Target States

  1. Define types: Key, Spec, TrackingRecord, Action
  2. Implement TargetHandler: The reconcile() method must be non-blocking and free of side effects
  3. Create TargetActionSink: Use TargetActionSink.from_fn() or from_async_fn(). The callback receives context_provider: ContextProvider as its first positional argument, followed by actions, and returns None. A container target's sink also passes child_handler= (see below)
  4. Register provider: Call register_root_target_states_provider(name, handler)
  5. Create user-facing API: Wrap the provider in a user-friendly class

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.
