Introducing the Paragon Skill

It's now easier than ever to build production-grade integrations for your SaaS product. Let your coding agents rapidly develop and test integration logic, while Paragon handles the integration infrastructure. Integration features like:

• Syncing your users' HubSpot CRM

• Arming your agents with Jira tools

• Triggering agents when your user sends a Slack message

Shipping these features goes from months of engineering time to just days.

The Paragon Skill is easily installable to your Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or coding agent of choice to one-shot integration features and build end-to-end integrations.

Building with the Paragon Skill

The Paragon Skill condenses Paragon's documentation into a format optimized for coding agents. Use your agent as usual, and when it detects a need for context on integrations, your agent will call the Paragon Skill and begin building with Paragon.

We loaded the Paragon Skill with specialized context to get you started with the following use cases:

• Setting up the Paragon SDK in your project

• Authenticating your users with the Connect Portal

• Calling ActionKit, a set of APIs for performing any integration operation like “sending a Slack message” or “updating a Salesforce contact”

• Spinning up Managed Sync pipelines to ingest (and stay up-to-date with) high volumes of data like your users’ CRM records or Google Drive files

We tested the Paragon Skill on a fresh project, for use cases like POCs or completely new features, and in mature codebases where you may want an integration to blend seamlessly with existing functionality.

On a fresh NextJS project, you can build large-scale integration features like file storage syncs in just a few prompts:

## User
can you create a tab called "sync." Only include hubspot, notion, and confluence

---
## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 4.2s)
Let me read the Managed Sync documentation first to understand how to implement this.

**Tool: read**
---
## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 5.2s)
Now I have all the information I need. Let me create the Sync tab with support for HubSpot, Notion, and Confluence.

## Assistant (Build · claude-opus-4-5 · 9.7s)
**Tool: write** **Tool: write** **Tool: write** **Tool: write** **Tool: write** **Tool: write** **Tool: write**

Done! I've created the Sync tab with support for HubSpot, Notion, and Confluence. Here's what was added:

## New Files
### API Routes
| Route| Method| Description|
|-------|--------|-------------|
|`/api/sync`| GET| List all syncs for the user|
|`/api/sync`| POST| Enable a new sync pipeline|
|`/api/sync/[syncId]`| DELETE| Delete a sync|
|`/api/sync/[syncId]/disable`| POST| Disable a sync|
|`/api/sync/[syncId]/reenable`| POST| Re-enable a disabled sync|
|`/api/sync/[syncId]/records`| GET| Fetch synced records|
## Features
1.**Enable Sync** - Click a pipeline button to start syncing data
2.**View Records** - See synced data in JSON format (when status is "Synced")
3.**Disable/Re-enable** - Pause and resume sync pipelines
4.**Delete**

We also tested the Paragon Skill in a mature, open-source codebase, like Excalidraw (a popular diagramming SaaS tool). In this example, we added a Google Drive integration to Excalidraw's existing tool:

1. Users can authenticate and connect their Google Drive

2. Users can save diagrams directly to their Drive

3. Users can upload Excalidraw files to their canvas

Watch this 2 minute demo to see how we prompted this feature and the finished product.

Why build with Paragon

After reading about how quickly you can build integrations with agents, you may be asking yourself, “Can't I build these types of features myself with AI-assisted coding?”

Of course! Building in-house has always been an option. But coding agents are not just a force multiplier for building integrations in-house; they're also a force multiplier for building with Paragon.

Building integrations with an agent on top of Paragon is faster than building in-house (see what we were able to build with the Paragon Skill above), and you can rely on Paragon to guarantee:

1. Performance at scale: Paragon manages all the infrastructure around webhook listeners, proxies, incremental syncs, and more.

2. Managed authentication: Leave OAuth flows and tokens to us, so you can quickly start working with 3rd-party APIs and actions.

3. Built-in monitoring & observability: All integration events and actions are traced and easily available on monitoring dashboards.

4. API maintenance: Paragon ensures integrations are maintained, even as 3rd-party APIs and policies change.

5. Pre-built components: Drop-in authentication flows and integration-specific configurations

AI has only compounded the advantages that Paragon's platform offers, where your agents with context from Skills can truly build, test, and ship integrations in just days to weeks.

Get started shipping integrations

Start building needle-moving integrations with the Paragon Skill. The fastest way to get started is by signing up for Paragon and installing the Paragon Skill (GitHub repo for reference) to your agent:
