integration-adapter

integration-adapter is a skill for Claude Code from rpraharaj/forward-deployed-engineer. It costs 101 tokens per session (2,255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of working instructions for connecting software to an external system that you do not control, such as a legacy service, SOAP endpoint, mainframe, or flat-file feed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover an external system's real interface, parse responses defensively, plan retries and timeouts, and create a fake system for tests.
Why use it?
It accounts for documentation that may be outdated and for timeouts, malformed responses, unexpected errors, and unannounced changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

integration-adapter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Integration adapter

Talking to something you can't change.

Why this exists

Enterprise integration is mostly against systems that are undocumented, documented incorrectly, owned by someone else, or all three. A mainframe interface described by a Word document from 2014. A partner SOAP endpoint whose WSDL doesn't match what it returns. A flat file whose format is defined by the code that writes it.

Two assumptions make this work, and both feel pessimistic until you've been burned:

The documentation is wrong. Not maliciously — it described the system accurately once. Observed behavior beats documentation every time, and where they disagree, the documentation is the thing that's out of date.

The interface will misbehave. It will time out, return malformed responses, return HTTP 200 with an error in the body, be down for maintenance without notice, and change without telling you. An adapter that assumes good behavior fails in production in ways that are hard to diagnose because the failure is somewhere you can't see.

When this applies

  • Consuming a legacy, mainframe, SOAP, flat-file, or externally-owned interface
  • Documentation disagrees with reality
  • Partner or vendor system integration
  • The system on the other side can't be changed

When it doesn't

  • Both sides are yours and changeable — design the contract properly with contract-design
  • A well-maintained internal API with an accurate spec
  • You need to understand an existing integration rather than build one — that's trace-the-flow

Prerequisites

  • Locate the workspace: FDE_WORKSPACE, else the charter Location, else .fde/, else ../<repo>-fde/
  • .fde/02-system-map.md — where this integration sits
  • .fde/03b-nfrs.md — what data may cross the boundary
  • Any existing callers of the same system, which are your best documentation

Procedure

1. Find the existing callers first

Before reading any specification, find code in the organization that already talks to this system. It encodes years of accumulated knowledge about the interface's actual behavior — every workaround in it is a bug someone hit.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

integration-adapter is a skill published in the GitHub repository rpraharaj/forward-deployed-engineer (6 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 2,255 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
