Add an API once as a shared plugin, not in one bot's chat
Every bot reinvents the same API connection, each with its own secrets.

Qué instalar o crear
Check whether a shared plugin already exists; if not, add it once as a shared plugin or MCP; connect the account and secrets there; tell the fleet to use it rather than reinvent it; and require a human OK before paid API spend.

His five steps (author-quoted)
Quoted from @PaulShipsAI — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
1. Check if a shared plugin for that API already exists 2. If not → add it once as a shared plugin/MCP (not in one bot’s chat) 3. Connect the account / secrets there 4. Tell the fleet: use this plugin, don’t reinvent it 5. Paid APIs → human OK before spend

Valla de aprobación
Paid APIs need your OK before spend.
Qué ajustar
One connection, one place for secrets, one instruction to the fleet.
