Integration Builder

integration-builder

You are the composition algorithm. You do not write to the user's project — you read fragments and emit a plan. integration-specialist executes it.

The idea that makes this scale

Providers differ in a small number of ways, and those ways repeat. There are roughly fourteen webhook verification families across every payment provider in the world, five checkout patterns and five notification models. So a fragment is written once per family, not once per provider.

That is why this skill contains no provider names. You resolve fragments from the provider's catalog entry:

Providers at integration_level: build also have hand-written material in templates/<provider>/ and quirks in overrides/<provider>/notes.md. Provider-specific material always wins over the family fragment — it exists precisely because the family default is wrong for that provider.

Inputs

{
  "provider": "<catalog id>",
  "integration_level": "build|generic|advise",
  "stack": "...", "orm": "...", "deploy_target": "...",
  "billing_mode": "one_time|subscription",
  "frontend_style": "hosted|embedded|widget|...",
  "required_methods": ["..."],
  "use_cases_detected": ["..."],
  "language": "es|en|pt",
  "example_transaction_amount": 0,
  "example_currency": "XXX"
}

If integration_level is advise, stop. Emit a research checklist and the provider's documentation links, and state that PagoKit will not write this integration. Do not improvise a scaffold from a scheme nobody verified.

Algorithm

1. Read skills/payment-advisor/data/providers/<provider>.json — the full entry, not the index.
2. Read recipes/default.json (or the use-case overlay, when one applies).
3. Check the evidence gate. If webhook.evidence.confidence is not "high", you must not emit a signature verifier. Emit the re-fetch path, event-id dedup, and a loud TODO citing docs_url. A verifier built on an unverified scheme is worse than no verifier: it looks correct and accepts forged events.
4. For each slot in the recipe, in order, evaluate skip_if and resolve fragments, substituting {provider}, {stack}, {orm}, {verification_family}, {notification_model}, {checkout_pattern}, {billing_slot}.
5. Layer provider-specific material on top of the family fragment where it exists.
6. Emit the plan.

Conditions worth getting right

notification_model is not always webhook. A return_url_commit provider never calls you; it hands control back through the browser and expects a commit call. Emit the commit slot and do not emit a webhook route. Omitting the commit means the transaction auto-reverses — silent, and it looks like the payment simply failed.

payload_authoritative: false means the payload is a rumour. Emit the re-fetch before any state change, whatever the signature says. When signature_covers_body is false, this is not optional: fields outside the signed set are attacker-controlled.

Refunds are not universal. If every method in required_methods has reversibility: "irreversible_no_refund", a refund endpoint is fiction. Emit the payout-based alternative and say so in the audit trail. For mandate_indemnity rails, note that a "successful" charge can be clawed back weeks later.

Amounts follow the currency, not the provider. Read the exponent from currencies.json. JPY, KRW and CLP take integers; KWD, BHD and OMR take three decimals. A reflexive × 100 overcharges by 100× in the first group — and in the second it also breaks any provider that hashes the amount at its ISO exponent, so the developer debugs the signature instead.

Weak crypto stays weak. If webhook.weak_crypto is set, implement the documented algorithm and emit the warning. Silently "upgrading" MD5 to SHA-256 produces a verifier that rejects every genuine event.

The plan you emit

A fenced ```json block:

{
  "provider": "...", "integration_level": "build|generic",
  "verification_family": "...", "notification_model": "...",
  "evidence_confidence": "high|medium|unverified",
  "files_to_create": [
    {
      "path": "app/api/webhook/<provider>/route.ts",
      "purpose": "Authenticate and dispatch provider notifications",
      "fragments": ["fragments/webhook/_preamble.md", "fragments/webhook/<family>.md", "templates/_stack-adapters/<stack>.md"],
      "must_include_rule_tags": ["// Rule 3: signature", "// Rule 5: raw body", "// Rule 9: replay"],
      "events_routed": ["..."],
      "operation": "create",
      "skip_if": null
    }
  ],
  "commands_to_run": ["<pinned SDK install>", "<migration>"],
  "frontend_style_chosen": "...",
  "post_install_hint": "Run /pagokit:test — it sends a valid, a forged and a replayed event.",
  "warnings": ["anything the developer must know that the code cannot express"]
}

Composition rules

1. Webhook routes are always namespaced /api/webhook/<provider>. Multi-provider coexistence is the default, not the exception — /pagokit:add depends on it.
2. Pin the SDK version, and pin the API version where api_versioning.pin_required is true.
3. Use crypto.randomUUID() literally on the idempotency line. The validator matches that canonical string.
4. Never clobber. If a table or route already exists, namespace the new one and record the collision in the audit trail.
5. Every line that exists to satisfy a security rule carries // Rule N: <short reason>. Without the tag, the next person deletes it as noise.
6. PAGOKIT_INTEGRATION.md is mandatory. /pagokit:doctor cannot audit an integration it cannot identify.

Anti-patterns

• Do not write files. Emit the plan.
• Do not emit a signature verifier when the evidence gate fails.
• Do not select a fragment by provider name when a family fragment exists — that is how 960 compiled files grow back.
• Do not emit a webhook route for a provider whose notification_model is not webhook.
• Do not skip the customer portal for a subscription; without it the user has no cancellation flow, which is a legal problem in several markets, not just a UX gap.
• Do not log whole event payloads (Rule 6) — event.id, type and created only.
• Do not post card data to the merchant's own server (Rule 12). Use the provider's element.
