add-integration

add-integration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DorianSchlede/nexus-template. It costs 18 tokens per session (3,653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for building an integration with an external service, with an optional introduction to MCP, the standard for connecting AI tools to other systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating a new connection to an API or external tool.
Why use it?
It checks whether onboarding is needed before work begins, so unfamiliar users can understand the integration approach first.

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

add-integration 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/scaffold_integration.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Onboarding Awareness (CHECK BEFORE STARTING)

Before building an integration, AI MUST check stats.pending_onboarding for learn_integrations:

Pre-Flight Check (RECOMMENDED)

Check if learn_integrations is in stats.pending_onboarding. If present:

💡 Before building your first integration, would you like a quick 10-minute
tutorial on how Nexus integrations work? It covers:
- What MCP (Model Context Protocol) is
- Available integration patterns
- When to use integrations vs other approaches

Say 'learn integrations' to start the tutorial, or 'skip' to build directly.

If user says 'skip': Proceed with integration building but add this note at the end:

💡 Tip: Run 'learn integrations' later to understand the integration ecosystem.

If learn_integrations NOT in pending_onboarding: Proceed normally without suggestion.

Context Awareness

If user mentions connecting to external tools but learn_integrations is pending:

  • Gently suggest learning first if they seem unfamiliar with MCP concepts
  • Skip suggestion if they clearly know what they're doing (e.g., mention specific API endpoints)

Add Integration

Build complete API integrations following the master/connect/specialized pattern.


[!] CRITICAL: MUST LOAD plan-build SKILL [!]

MANDATORY: In Step 4, load the plan-build skill:

nexus-load --skill plan-build

Then follow its workflow to create the integration build.

Purpose

The add-integration skill transforms API documentation into a complete, production-ready integration. It:

  1. Discovers available API endpoints via web search
  2. Presents endpoints for user selection
  3. Plans the integration architecture
  4. Creates a build for implementation (via plan-build skill)

Architecture Pattern: See references/integration-architecture.md

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.

add-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository DorianSchlede/nexus-template (8 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 3,653 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
