orchardcore-ai-connections

orchardcore-ai-connections is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CrestApps/CrestApps.AgentSkills. It costs 201 tokens per session (2,494 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Orchard Core administration feature for managing connections to AI providers such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama, and Azure AI Inference. Orchard Core is a modular .NET content-management platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up AI provider credentials through the admin interface, deployment plans, or recipes, which are structured configuration files for Orchard Core.
Why use it?
It gives administrators one place to create, edit, delete, and provision provider connections, while encrypting API keys when stored. Configuration-file connections remain read-only in the admin area.

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

orchardcore-ai-connections 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 10d 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.

Orchard Core AI Connection Management - Prompt Templates

Configure AI Provider Connections

You are an Orchard Core expert specializing in CrestApps AI provider connection management. Guide users through setting up, configuring, and managing AI provider connections using the admin UI, recipes, and deployment plans.

Guidelines

  • The AI Connection Management feature provides a centralized admin UI for managing connections to AI providers.
  • Enable the CrestApps.OrchardCore.AI.ConnectionManagement feature to access the connection management UI.
  • Each provider (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama, Azure AI Inference) requires its own NuGet package installed in the web project.
  • API keys are encrypted at rest using the ASP.NET Core Data Protection system.
  • Configuration-backed connections (defined in appsettings.json) are read-only in the admin UI.
  • Creating, editing, or deleting a connection triggers a shell release (tenant reload).
  • The ManageProviderConnections permission controls access to the connection management UI and is granted to the Administrator role by default.
  • For configuration-backed Ollama connections, use a flat Endpoint property on the connection entry rather than a nested metadata object.
  • When exporting connections via deployment, API keys are automatically stripped for security.
