Plaid Fintech
Patterns
Link Token Creation and Exchange
Create a link_token for Plaid Link, exchange public_token for access_token. Link tokens are short-lived, one-time use. Access tokens don't expire but may need updating when users change passwords.
Transactions Sync
Use /transactions/sync for incremental transaction updates. More efficient than /transactions/get. Handle webhooks for real-time updates instead of polling.
Item Error Handling and Update Mode
Handle ITEM_LOGIN_REQUIRED errors by putting users through Link update mode. Listen for PENDING_DISCONNECT webhook to proactively prompt users.
Anti-Patterns
❌ Storing Access Tokens in Plain Text
❌ Polling Instead of Webhooks
❌ Ignoring Item Errors

Reload or restart Cursor to activate plaid-fintech. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /plaid-fintech) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.
