Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with SerpApi. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered travel hacking and search with cash, points, miles, and award flights. Drop-in skills and MCP servers for Claude, Codex, and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/rapidapi”

Requirements

A credential in RAPIDAPI_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db82131. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
- jq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- google-flights-live-api.p.rapidapi.com
- booking-live-api.p.rapidapi.com
Also links to:
- rapidapi.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- RAPIDAPI_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rapidapi loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 267 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:20

`RAPIDAPI_KEY` is set in `.env`. All requests use `x-rapidapi-key` header.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Rate Limits

Free tier: 100 requests/month across all RapidAPI APIs. Use sparingly. Prefer SerpAPI for flights and LiteAPI/SerpAPI for hotels as primary sources.

When to Use

Google Flights Live: Secondary price check when SerpAPI results seem off, or for routes SerpAPI doesn't cover well.
Booking.com Live: When you want Booking.com specific pricing/availability (different inventory than Google Hotels).

Do not:

Use as primary search (SerpAPI and Seats.aero are primary).
Burn through free tier on broad searches. Be targeted.
