# Connector Setup

Core CareerSignal intelligence must work without connectors.

Use capability-based integration, not provider-specific core logic.

Capabilities:
- `professional_source`
- `source_code`
- `document_storage`
- `research_notes`
- `analytics_read`
- `social_draft_write`
- `social_publish_write`
- `calendar`
- `team_messages`

Follow `references/fallback-matrix.md`.

Rules:
- every connector feature has a manual fallback;
- read connectors can be suggested when they remove repeated uploads;
- write connectors require explicit user approval;
- never publish social content automatically without explicit approval;
- never claim a connector supports a capability until verified.

If the host has a plugin/app directory, discover available providers dynamically.

## External writes

All external write adapters must use `lib/approval_firewall.py`.
A Skill instruction alone is not considered sufficient approval enforcement.
