service-connections

service-connections is a skill for Claude Code from moasq/agentic-ship. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,554 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for connecting an AI coding host or application to an external service such as GitHub, Stripe, or Vercel. It treats authorisation, project setup, and application runtime as separate kinds of connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to authorise provider tools, provision projects and settings, pause for browser consent, verify connections, resume or cancel setup, and diagnose connection problems.
Why use it?
It prevents access granted to an AI tool from being confused with application configuration or a customer-facing service flow. It also provides a resumable process when a person must approve access in a browser.

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

service-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 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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Service connections

Treat an external-service connection as a resumable protocol, not an uninterrupted automation task. Separate access granted to the active AI host from configuration used by the application. Never infer one from the other.

Classify the connection

Classify the requested work before acting:

  1. Agent-tool authorization lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, or OpenClaw invoke a provider MCP server. The host owns its OAuth redirect and token storage.
  2. Project provisioning creates the provider-side project, environment values, prices, webhook registrations, domains, or deployment resources used by the app.
  3. Product runtime redirects an application customer to a provider surface such as Stripe Checkout. Implement that inside the product seam; do not represent it as an agent connection receipt.

Read .agents/connections/providers.json for provider steps and safe verification probes. Read .agents/connections/hosts.json for the selected host's authorization instruction. Load references/protocol.md when extending the CLI, adding a provider, or interpreting its JSON contract.

Before classifying, look at what the host already provides. Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can carry their own installed plugins and connectors for the same vendors; a provider tool that already answers a read-only call is a connection to continue on, not to re-authorize, and begin reports it ready. The reverse also binds: when the host has no such plugin, work from this repo's project-scoped catalog and never install, reconfigure, or disconnect anything at the host's own plugin layer — that configuration belongs to the user.

Operate the connection CLI

Inspect state first:

pnpm --silent connect status --json

Begin one provider and host pair:

pnpm --silent connect begin <provider> --host <host> --json

A connection_ready result straight from begin means the probes already passed: say so and stop — no question, no redirect, no command.

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.
