build-connector

build-connector is a skill for Claude Code from fivetran/connector_sdk_tools. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,746 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of build-connector, MIT.

A builder for Fivetran connectors, which are programs that copy data from an API or other source into a database or warehouse.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research the source, gather requirements, generate connector code, test it locally, and prepare it for deployment.
Why use it?
It helps turn a data-source description into a connector while checking whether Fivetran already offers a simpler managed option.

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

build-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 9d 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 — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context: This plugin is for the Fivetran Connector SDK (CSDK). "CSDK" is shorthand for "Connector SDK".

Build a New Fivetran Connector

FIRST: Read sdk-reference.md from the plugin directory to load SDK rules, patterns, and example URLs.

You are building a complete Fivetran connector from the user's description. This skill orchestrates the build; detailed per-phase logic lives in the plugin's workflow files.

Phase 0: Determine the Best Build Approach

Before doing any API research or code generation, check whether a simpler path exists. A custom CSDK connector means the user writes and maintains code; other paths may let Fivetran manage the connector for them. Always surface better options to the user before building custom.

Run all three checks in order and present findings to the user. The user decides — if they prefer to build custom even when a managed option exists, proceed to Phase 1.

Check 1: Is there already a Fivetran connector for this source?

Fetch all five category pages in parallel using WebFetch and scan each for the source name the user mentioned (case-insensitive fuzzy match):

Ask each fetch: "List all connector names on this page, one per line."

  • If you find a match or a very close match in any page, tell the user:

    "Would you prefer to use our {Match} managed native connector or need to customize it for your use case? The connector is maintained by Fivetran — no code to write or maintain. You can configure it directly in the Fivetran dashboard."

    Wait for the user's answer. If they choose the managed connector, stop and direct them to the Fivetran dashboard. If they want custom CSDK anyway, go straight to Phase 1.

  • If there's no match, the applications page may be incomplete (it is a large list and can be truncated). As a fallback, probe a few direct URL slug variations using WebFetch — try the most likely slugs derived from the source name (lowercase, spaces to hyphens, common abbreviations) across all categories:
