+# Growth Check
+
+A periodic reflection on development—where you're going, what you're learning, and what's worth capturing. Best used monthly or quarterly, whenever you want to zoom out.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Monthly or quarterly reflection
+- Before strategic planning
+- When feeling stuck or stagnant
+- When considering new directions
+- After completing a major project or phase
+
+## The Flow
+
+### 1. Opening Context
+
+Check `context/me.md` for their stated future direction and skills they're developing. Reference these throughout.
+
+Start with:
+- "Let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture."
+- "Where are we, and where are you trying to go?"
+
+### 2. Future Direction Review
+
+If they shared a future direction during onboarding:
+- "You mentioned you're building toward [goal]. How's that feeling?"
+- "Any shifts in what you're aiming for?"
+- "What's changed in how you think about this?"
+
+If they didn't share one:
+- "We never talked about the bigger picture. Where are you trying to go? Not just this quarter—what are you building toward?"
+
+### 3. Skills Development
+
+Check in on what they're actively improving:
+- "What skills have you been working on?"
+- "Where do you feel yourself getting better?"
+- "Any areas you've been avoiding?"
+
+Surface growth patterns from `context/patterns.md` if relevant.
+
+### 4. Methodology Improvements
+
+What have they learned about how they work?
+- "What's working better now than it did before?"
+- "Any processes or approaches you've refined?"
+- "Things you've stopped doing that weren't serving you?"
+
+### 5. Content and Insights
+
+Surface content opportunities from `context/patterns.md`:
+- "Any recurring insights worth capturing or sharing?"
+- "Ideas that keep coming up that might be worth writing about?"
+- "Problems you've solved that others might face?"
+
+### 6. Relationship Investments
+
+Check on strategic relationships:
+- "Any relationships you've been intentionally investing in?"
+- "Connections paying off?"
+- "Anyone you've been meaning to reach out to?"
+
+### 7. Honest Assessment
+
+This is where gentle challenge is appropriate:
+- "What have you been avoiding?"
+- "Where are you playing it too safe?"
+- "What would you do if you were being bolder?"
+
+Reference stagnation signals from `context/patterns.md` if relevant.
+
+### 8. Next Period Focus
+
+Looking ahead:
+- "What's the one thing that would make the biggest difference?"
+- "What skill are you committing to developing?"
+- "What would make this next [month/quarter] feel like progress?"
+
+## Output Format

+# Connector Discovery Skill
+
+**Purpose:** Help users connect their external tools in a gentle, non-technical way. Recommend solutions based on what works best, explain everything in plain language.
+
+**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: `@modelcontextprotocol/server-google-calendar` | 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."
+
+### Files
+
+| Service | Recommendation | Notes |
+|---------|----------------|-------|
+| Local files | MCP: `@anthropics/mcp-server-filesystem` | Specify allowed folders |
+| Google Drive | CLI: `rclone` (preferred) | Or MCP server |
+| Dropbox | CLI: `rclone` | Sync-based access |
+| OneDrive | CLI: `rclone` | Microsoft cloud |
+
+**Plain language:**
+> "For local files, I can access specific folders you choose-nothing
+> else. You'll tell me exactly which folders are okay to read."
+
+### Code & Development
+
+| Service | Recommendation | Notes |
+|---------|----------------|-------|
+| GitHub | CLI: `gh` (preferred) | Already likely installed |
+| GitLab | CLI: `glab` | Similar to gh |
+| Linear | MCP: Check mcp.so | Issue tracking |
+| Jira | MCP: Community servers | Enterprise |
+
+**Plain language:**
+> "For GitHub, there's a built-in tool that's probably already on
+> your system. I can check issues, PRs, and repo info. Want me to
+> see if it's set up?"
+
+### Productivity
+
+| Service | Recommendation | Notes |
+|---------|----------------|-------|
+| Notion | MCP: Check mcp.so/GitHub | Community maintained |
+| Slack | MCP: Check mcp.so | Messaging |
+| Todoist | MCP: Check mcp.so | Task management |
+| Obsidian | Local files | Use filesystem MCP |
+
+### Search
+
+| Service | Recommendation | Notes |
+|---------|----------------|-------|
+| Brave Search | MCP: `@anthropics/mcp-server-brave-search` | Web search |
+| Web browsing | Browser assist | Claude in Chrome |
+
+---
+
+## Web Search Strategy
+
+When user mentions an unfamiliar tool:
+
+### Search Queries (in order)
+1. `"[tool name]" MCP server github`
+2. `"[tool name]" CLI automation`
+3. `"[tool name]" Claude integration`
+4. `"[tool name]" API documentation`
+
+### Evaluate Results For
+- **Official vs community** - Official is preferred
+- **Last updated** - More recent is better
+- **Documentation quality** - Clear setup instructions
+- **Security considerations** - Reputable source
+
+### Present Findings
+
+**If good option found:**
+```
+"I searched for [tool] integrations. Best option: There's an MCP
+server that lets me [capability]. It's [official/community-maintained]
+and [recently updated/well-documented]. Want the setup guide?"
+```
+
+**If no good option:**
+```
+"I looked for [tool] integrations but didn't find anything reliable.
+Options:
+• I can help through browser assist (I navigate the web app with you)
+• Or you can share content from [tool] and I'll work with that
+
+What would work better for you?"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation Format
+
+Present each recommendation in plain language:
+
+```markdown
+### [Service] - [Category]
+
+**What you get:** [Capability in plain terms]
+
+**Effort:** [Easy/Moderate/Involved] - [time estimate]
+**How it works:** [One sentence explanation]
+
+Want me to help set this up? [Yes / Later / Skip]
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+```markdown
+### Gmail - Email Integration
+
+**What you get:** I can read your emails, draft replies,
+and include email context in morning briefs.
+
+**Effort:** Moderate - about 5 minutes
+**How it works:** I connect through Google's official channel.
+
+Want me to help set this up? [Yes / Later / Skip]
+```
+
+```markdown
+### GitHub - Code Integration
+
+**What you get:** I can check your repos, issues, and PRs
+without you copying and pasting links.
+
+**Effort:** Easy - 1 minute (if gh is installed)
+**How it works:** Uses the GitHub CLI that developers usually have.
+
+Want me to check if it's ready? [Yes / Later / Skip]
+```
+
+---
+
+## Setup Guidance
+
+### For MCP Servers
+
+When user says "yes" to an MCP integration:
+
+1. **Explain what will happen:**
+   ```
+   "I'll add this to your .mcp.json file. When you restart
+   Claude Code, the connection will be available. You'll need
+   to authorize access the first time."
+   ```
+
+2. **Provide the configuration:**
+   ```
+   "Add this to your .mcp.json file under 'mcpServers':
+
+   "[server-name]": {
+     "command": "npx",
+     "args": ["-y", "@package/server-name"]
+   }
+
+   Then restart Claude Code."
+   ```
+
+3. **Offer to track:**
+   ```
+   "Want me to note this in your integrations file so we
+   remember what's connected?"
+   ```
+
+### For CLI Tools
+
+When recommending CLI tools (gh, rclone, etc.):
+
+1. **Check if installed:**
+   ```
+   "Let me check if [tool] is already installed..."
+   [Run: which gh / which rclone]
+   ```
+
+2. **If installed:**
+   ```
+   "Good news-it's already set up. I can use it right now.
+   Want me to try something?"
+   ```
+
+3. **If not installed:**
+   ```
+   "It's not installed yet. You can add it with:
+   [installation command]
+
+   Let me know when that's done and I'll help you configure it."
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Guardrails
+
+### During Onboarding
+- **Max 3 recommendations** - Don't overwhelm
+- **Focus on their mentioned tools** - Don't list everything
+- **"Later" is always valid** - Never pressure
+- **Lead with benefit, not feature** - "Would it help if I could..."
+
+### General
+- **Note declined integrations** - Don't re-suggest
+- **Be honest about complexity** - Some setups are involved
+- **Respect privacy** - Explain what access means
+- **No judgment on choices** - Their preference is valid
+
+---
+
+## Tracking User Preferences
+
+### When User Shows Interest
+
+During onboarding, if user expresses interest in integrations, the structure-generator skill should create `context/integrations.md`.
+
+### Update Integration Status
+
+After any integration discussion:
+
+```markdown
+## Active
+| Integration | Type | Status | Added |
+|-------------|------|--------|-------|
+| Gmail | MCP | Connected | Jan 15 |
+
+## Interests
+Services you want to connect:
+- Google Calendar (mentioned, not set up yet)
+
+## Declined
+| Integration | Reason | Date |
+|-------------|--------|------|
+| Slack | "I prefer to check it manually" | Jan 15 |
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example Conversations
+
+### During Onboarding

+         Want me to see if I can connect to those?"
+
+User: "Yeah, Gmail would be helpful."

+
+User: "Let's finish setup first."
+
+Claudia: "Perfect. I'll remind you after we're done. Now, for
+         your consulting work, here's what I'd suggest..."

+
+### Post-Onboarding
+
+```
+User: "Can you check my email for that message from Sarah?"
+
+Claudia: "I don't have email access yet. Want me to help set
+         that up? For Gmail, it takes about 5 minutes and
+         I'd be able to read, search, and draft emails."
+
+User: "Sure, let's do it."
+
+Claudia: "Great! Here's what to add to your .mcp.json file..."

+### Unknown Tool
+
+```
+User: "Can you connect to Linear?"
