<guidelines>
**What belongs in INTEGRATIONS.md:**
- External services the code communicates with
- Authentication patterns (where secrets live, not the secrets themselves)
- SDKs and client libraries used
- Environment variable names (not values)
- Webhook endpoints and verification methods
- Database connection patterns
- File storage locations
- Monitoring and logging services

**What does NOT belong here:**
- Actual API keys or secrets (NEVER write these)
- Internal architecture (that's ARCHITECTURE.md)
- Code patterns (that's PATTERNS.md)
- Technology choices (that's STACK.md)
- Performance issues (that's CONCERNS.md)

**When filling this template:**
- Check .env.example or .env.template for required env vars
- Look for SDK imports (stripe, @sendgrid/mail, etc.)
- Check for webhook handlers in routes/endpoints
- Note where secrets are managed (not the secrets)
- Document environment-specific differences (dev/staging/prod)
- Include auth patterns for each service

**Useful for phase planning when:**
- Adding new external service integrations
- Debugging authentication issues
- Understanding data flow outside the application
- Setting up new environments
- Auditing third-party dependencies
- Planning for service outages or migrations

**Security note:**
Document WHERE secrets live (env vars, Vercel dashboard, 1Password), never WHAT the secrets are.
