camunda-connectors-development

Use this skill to build a custom Camunda 8 connector — outbound or inbound — when the OOTB catalog doesn't cover the integration. Two paths: a JSON-only element template on a protocol connector (no Java), or a Java connector via the Connectors SDK with annotation-driven template generation. Use for: choosing Path A (JSON-only protocol-connector template) vs Path B (custom Java); element template JSON; OutboundConnectorProvider + @Operation for outbound; InboundConnectorExecutable for webhook / subscription / polling inbound; SPI vs Spring-Bean registration; SaaS / SM / Hybrid hosting; element-template-generator Maven plugin. Do not use for: applying an OOTB connector (use camunda-connectors), worker-vs-connector decisions (use camunda-development), or job-worker handlers (use camunda-job-workers). **Workflow skill** — pick a path, write the template (and Java if Path B), register, host. Java 17+ on Path B.
