any friends that can help get my text-to-cad plugin reviewed by anthropic?

use text-to-cad
Computer can create an interactive 3D preview of a design and export the model as an editable CAD file.
It can also make changes in FreeCAD and record a video of the edits.
agents don't need backwards compatibility
a great side effect of building services for agents is that they handle hard migrations extremely well
i've rewritten text-to-cad's interfaces a dozen times in the last 6 months, and with a good CLI --help command and error messages an agent can migrate to a new interface very seamlessly

text-to-cad is now on the official codex plugin directory!
here's a fun demo of me using it to design a 3D printed iphone duo stand in about 10 minutes

Fable 5 rebuilt the NASA machine that's going to colonize the moon.
It's an Electron Beam Freeform Fabrication machine. It prints metal parts practically out of moon dust. First the moon, then the Dyson Sphere.
Fable used my entire weekly Max 20x allocation building it in CAD.

looking for a 3PL that is startup-friendly and can spin up quickly
any recommendations?
I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to CAD a Raptor 3
- 255 parts, real STEP file
- both turbopumps, preburners, injector, regen chamber, gimbal, TVC
- exploded view, every part named
- "make it a Raptor Vacuum" and it rebuilt the nozzle to 2.3 m, 107:1
open source CAD kernel, runs locally in Claude Code

Incredible things happening on the timeline.
I'm full of conflicted feelings about vibe-making. That probably means we're early to a new trend.

the everything factory is coming
We are now entering into an era where any product can be created exactly to a consumer's preferences & needs.
I vibe-fabricated a dog door with a wifi-controlled lock, perfectly to the specifications & design of my house.
I know nothing about metal fabrication or electrical engineering.
It's now getting manufactured and delivered in 2 weeks -- for almost the same cost if I bought a mass-produced item off-the-shelf.

Pumped to have @earthtojake presenting Text to CAD tonight at Mission Robotics alongside DeepMind and CMU
in SF this week, dm if you’re around!
i’ll also be yapping about text-to-cad at @MissionRobotBay @SpaceFronClub tomorrow night
OpenAI be using my cadslop for their Reddit ads
(i am okay with this)
