Keep growing the library

Four layers (+ pipelines)

• data_sourceData sources → lib/openchat/data-sources/
• connectorConnectors → lib/openchat/connectors/
• agentAgents → lib/openchat/templates/
• trading_botTrading bots → lib/openchat/templates/
• pipelinePipelines → lib/openchat/pipelines/

How to add something

# Scaffold (creates stub + registry entry + changelog line)
node scripts/scaffold-plugin.mjs \
  --kind connector \
  --slug my-api \
  --title "My API" \
  --category connectors

# kinds: data_source | connector | agent | trading_bot | pipeline

# Validate registry integrity
pnpm library:validate

1. Pick kind: data_source | connector | agent | trading_bot | pipeline
2. Pick category id from CATEGORIES (not free-text)
3. slug: kebab-case, unique across whole registry
4. Add open source file under apps/web/src/lib/openchat/{dir}/
5. Register manifest in registry/{kind}s.ts (or scaffold CLI)
6. Tag with 3–6 searchable tags + apis[]
7. maturity: experimental → beta → stable
8. If agent: systemAddon + dependsOn connectors
9. If data_source: sectors[] + worker connector path
10. Document envVars; never commit secrets
11. Featured only for flagship / first use-cases

Registry health

✓ Registry validates

Data sources growth loop

1. Add worker connector under workers/src/connectors/
2. Historics / realtime write into data/lake/
3. Seed catalog product if needed
4. scaffold-plugin --kind data_source
5. Agents automatically gain leverage via lake tools

Agents do not hardcode every source — they call openchat-data tools. More lake packages = smarter conversations for free.

Self-serve builder (simpler than n8n)

Users add their own API keys at /keys, then compose a linear timeline of actions at /builder— no canvas, no branches. Publish to the library or run in chat as user:<id>.
