description	Use when the user wants to create or modify IBM App Connect Enterprise connector-based message flows with the correct node attributes, policy artifacts, and schema files.

ACE Connector Flow Skill

Purpose

Use this skill when the user asks to create or modify ACE message flows that include connector-specific nodes.

When not to use this skill

• If the request does not involve connector-specific nodes, use skills/ace-message-flow/SKILL.md.
• If the request is primarily about project scaffolding, use skills/ace-project-setup/SKILL.md.

Required reading order

1. skills/shared/skill-composition.md
2. skills/shared/ace-versions.md
3. skills/shared/message-flow-rules.md
4. skills/shared/node-types.md
5. skills/shared/policy-projects.md
6. skills/shared/connector-index.md
7. The relevant file under skills/shared/connectors/
8. skills/shared/review-checklist.md

Critical rules

• Do not invent connector node types or attributes.
• Apply the connector-specific allowed operations exactly as documented.
• Create required policy and schema artifacts when the connector guidance requires them.
• Do not use this skill alone when the request also requires Compute node implementation or missing ACE project scaffolding.
• If the request includes Compute node ESQL creation or modification, also use skills/ace-esql/SKILL.md.
• If the request requires Application or Policy project scaffolding, also use skills/ace-project-setup/SKILL.md.
• If version-specific validation matters and the ACE version is not known, ask the user.

Output requirements

• Create or update the requested connector-based flow artifacts.
• Create any required supporting policy and schema artifacts.
• Provide a concise summary of what was created or changed and which connector guidance was applied.
