API Connector Builder

Use this when the job is to add a repo-native integration surface, not just a generic HTTP client.

The point is to match the host repository's pattern:

• connector layout
• config schema
• auth model
• error handling
• test style
• registration/discovery wiring

When to Use

• "Build a Jira connector for this project"
• "Add a Slack provider following the existing pattern"
• "Create a new integration for this API"
• "Build a plugin that matches the repo's connector style"

Guardrails

• do not invent a new integration architecture when the repo already has one
• do not start from vendor docs alone; start from existing in-repo connectors first
• do not stop at transport code if the repo expects registry wiring, tests, and docs
