Connector Discovery Skill

**Triggers:**

• Invoked during onboarding Phase 3.5 (after archetype detection)
• Invoked by capability-suggester when user mentions external tools repeatedly
• User directly asks about connecting services ("can you see my email?")

---

Priority Order

Always recommend in this order (most reliable first):

Priority	Type	Plain-Language Name	Why
1	CLI	"Built-in tools"	Already installed, most reliable
2	API	"Direct connection"	Simple, official when available
3	MCP	"Extension"	Feature-rich, requires setup
4	Browser	"Browser assist"	Last resort for web-only tools

Discovery Flow

During Onboarding (Phase 3.5)

Transition naturally after archetype detection. Use tools they mentioned in Phase 2.

**Opening (reference their tools):**

"By the way-you mentioned using [tools from Phase 2]. Want me to
see if I can connect to any of those? I can also help with email,
calendar, and file access if that would be useful."

**Responses:**

• "Yes" → Continue with discovery questions below
• "Not right now" → "No problem-just ask anytime." Continue to Phase 4.
• Specific interest → Focus on that tool

**Discovery Questions (if interested):**

"What would be most useful? For example:
• Reading and drafting emails
• Seeing your calendar in morning briefs
• Accessing files in specific folders
• Something else?"

Post-Onboarding (On Demand)

When invoked later (via capability-suggester or direct request):

**Opening:**

"I can connect to various tools to help you more. What were you
thinking? Email, calendar, files, or something specific?"

Integration Map

Common tools and recommended approaches:

Email

Service	Recommendation	Notes
Gmail	MCP: @gongrzhe/server-gmail-autoauth-mcp	Read, draft, search emails
Outlook	MCP: Check mcp.so	Microsoft Graph API
Other	Browser assist	Last resort

**Plain language:**

"For Gmail, I'd connect through Google's official channel. I can read your emails, draft replies, and include email context in morning briefs. Setup takes about 5 minutes-you'll approve access in your browser."

Calendar

Service	Recommendation	Notes
Google Calendar	MCP: @gongrzhe/server-calendar-autoauth-mcp	View events, scheduling
Outlook Calendar	MCP: Check mcp.so	Microsoft Graph
Apple Calendar	No good option	Explain limitation

**Plain language:**

"For Google Calendar, I can see your schedule and include today's meetings in your morning brief. One-time setup, about 5 minutes."
