I got tired of four-week vendor integrations. So I built a tool where you type a vendor name, pick the capabilities you want, and get back a working Python connector. It's live. Here's a 30-second build below.

@YioJoshua Your welcome too, for sure!

@SkeinLLC Hi, @SkeinLLC I'd like to do writing and the storytelling about connector forge on the blog and newsletter. You approve anything and everything before publishing own.page/yiojoshua

Honestly, you and me both! What I mean is; Today I'm running and hash saving new vendors for easy cache pull and reference, but each one of those initial touches (and updates) involves my agent scrappers conducting full osint, looking at reddit for workarounds, and doing some heavy claude lift for efficacy testing and sandboxing. I get incredible results though when I give it access to my own internal documentation library (as Im running a custom threat intelligence platform). My local agents are using it to build new capabilities that frankly don't exist elsewhere and are only really bound by a given organizations guide rails and the prompters vision clarity. I can't wait to see what other smarter/more creative folks can do with it.

@SkeinLLC that's awesome, love this approach-connector jungle fatigue is real haha. curious how it handles weird edge cases or vendor quirks? would be cool to hear how folks are using it for non-standard apis too

@marclou Can't say enough how motivating this was for me. Lots learned, and an actual product shipped in a week; it makes my rolodex of other ideas seem limitless.

@SkeinLLC *of the middle deck

@1UwYT94tkqRwMmi Thanks much! Hope it helps you speed through the pain!

@SkeinLLC Nice!

@marclou Boom! Anchors away!

@SkeinLLC Hoy, welcome on board sir!

@Levi_Researcher Ty!!!still early, but take a look!

@SkeinLLC i swear half my week is just fighting bad vendor docs, this feels illegally efficient

Built solo. Live at connector-forge.com, free tier, no card. Throw a vendor with terrible docs at it and tell me where it breaks. That's the feedback I want. Build teardown: gist.github.com/SkeinLLC/4f565…

Pricing, because the math is the whole pitch: Hand-built connector: $12k to $30k, 80 to 120 hours. Connector Forge: free for 1, $49/mo for 10, $199/mo for unlimited. My marginal cost is tokens plus a Fly box, so I price like it.
