description	Create or update integration manifest packages in the companion repo (orchestrator-integrations). Use when a user asks to add a new integration (Slack, GitHub, Discord, Jira, etc.), create a webhook trigger for an external service, or extend the integrations library. Routes all integration work to the separate repo while reusing the main project's SDLC infrastructure.

Integration Authoring

Create, update, or extend integration manifest packages in the companion orchestrator-integrations repository.

Repository Layout

<org-root>/
├── orchestrator/                  # Main project (this repo)
│   ├── crates/                    # Core engine code
│   ├── docs/showcases/            # Execution plans
│   └── .claude/skills/            # Skills (including this one)
└── orchestrator-integrations/     # Integration packages (companion repo)
    ├── slack/
    ├── github/
    ├── line/
    └── <new-integration>/

When to Use This Skill

• User asks to "add a Jira integration", "create a Discord webhook trigger", etc.
• User asks to update an existing integration (e.g., "add a new GitHub trigger for releases")
• User asks to create a CRD-based integration extension

Workflow

1. Determine Scope

• New integration: Create a new directory in orchestrator-integrations/
• Update existing: Modify files in the existing integration directory
• CRD extension: Create CRD manifest + associated triggers (FR-083 pattern)

2. Create/Update Integration Package

Work in the companion repo at ../orchestrator-integrations/ (relative to this project root).

Each integration package MUST follow this structure:

<platform>/
├── secrets-template.yaml     # SecretStore with placeholder values
├── trigger-<event>.yaml      # One Trigger per event type
├── step-template-<action>.yaml  # Optional StepTemplate for payload handling
└── README.md                 # Platform setup guide

3. Manifest Standards

SecretStore template:

apiVersion: orchestrator.dev/v2
kind: SecretStore
metadata:
  name: <platform>-secret
spec:
  data:
    signing_secret: "<your-<platform>-secret>"

Webhook Trigger:

apiVersion: orchestrator.dev/v2
kind: Trigger
metadata:
  name: <platform>-<event>
spec:
  event:
    source: webhook
    webhook:
      secret:
        fromRef: <platform>-secret
      signatureHeader: <platform-specific-header>
    filter:
      condition: "<CEL expression for event filtering>"
  action:
    workflow: handle-<platform>-<event>
    workspace: default

4. README Standards

Each integration README MUST include:

1. Prerequisites — orchestrator version, webhook server (enabled by default on 127.0.0.1:19090)
2. Platform Setup — step-by-step guide to create app/webhook on the platform
3. Secret Retrieval — where to find the signing secret/API key
4. Webhook URL — exact URL format: http://<host>:<port>/webhook/<trigger-name>
5. Apply Commands — complete orchestrator apply -f commands

5. Validate Manifests

After creating/updating manifests:

# Validate syntax (from the main orchestrator project)
for f in ../orchestrator-integrations/<platform>/*.yaml; do
  orchestrator manifest validate -f "$f" 2>&1 || true
done

Note: Triggers may fail validation if referenced workflows don't exist — that's expected. The important thing is no YAML parse errors or unknown field errors.

6. Commit to Companion Repo

cd ../orchestrator-integrations
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: add <platform> integration — <description>"
git push

7. Update Main Project References (if needed)

If the new integration introduces a pattern worth showcasing:

• Add a showcase doc in docs/showcases/ (main repo)
• Update site/ with EN/ZH versions
• Update VitePress sidebar if adding new showcase pages

Integration Checklist

• secrets-template.yaml with placeholder values (never real secrets)
• Trigger manifest(s) with source: webhook + per-trigger auth
• CEL filter expression for event type filtering
• Platform-appropriate signature header
• README with complete setup guide
• Manifests parse without YAML errors
• Committed and pushed to orchestrator-integrations repo
