About the project

Stripe AI is a collection of SDKs, tools, an MCP server, and agent skills for building AI products and businesses with Stripe's billing infrastructure. Developers use it to connect Stripe payments and metering to language models and agent frameworks, while the catalogue entries provide Stripe-specific skills, commands, plugins, and agent integrations.

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

connect-recommend 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 5d 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 — 358 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Connect recommend

Recommend the right Stripe Connect integration configuration. The user only needs to provide a company URL or describe their business — the skill figures out the rest.

Interaction model

User must confirm interactions. Every decision point in this skill MUST be confirmed with the user with clear, numbered options and short descriptions. One question at a time — never overwhelm the user.

Auto-act on low-cost actions. Never ask permission for:

  • Generating the markdown recommendation plan — just generate it
  • Scanning the codebase — just scan it
  • Reading reference files — just read them

Never end with passive text. Every stopping point must end with a prompt to the user offering concrete next actions.

Terminology rules (user-facing output)

Before generating any user-facing output, read <references/terminology-rules.md>. Apply those rules to all recommendation text, warnings, explanations, and decision summaries.

Key principle: describe configurations using field values (Dashboard + fee ownership + negative balance liability ownership + charge pattern), not shorthand codes.

Output Brevity

Keep responses concise. The user is making decisions, not reading documentation.

  • Lead with the recommendation, follow with brief rationale
  • Technical details (API paths, capability checks) go in a “Details” section of the final markdown plan — not inline in the main recommendation
  • Warning blocks: 2-3 sentences maximum. State the issue and the fix. No mechanism deep-dives unless the user asks.
  • Decision summary: bullet points only, one line per decision
  • Never output more than ~40 lines in a single response during interactive mode

Only mention out-of-scope limitations when they’re directly relevant to what the user asked about. Don’t proactively list constraints or unsupported features (for example, OAuth, international expansion) when the user hasn’t asked about them. “Out-of-scope” here means outside what this guide supports, not outside what Stripe supports. Research these topics in the Stripe public documentation (docs.stripe.com) rather than saying they’re out-of-scope.

Changes

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.
