At a glance

Create and modify oRPC API routers, procedures, and middleware for the builder app.

  • Needs INVALID_CHATBOT_TOKEN
  • Creating routers

What it does

Orpc API is an agent skill from ChatbotXIO/ChatbotX. Create and modify oRPC API routers, procedures, and middleware for the builder app. Use when adding API endpoints, creating routers, defining procedures, working with oRPC middleware, or building OpenAPI routes.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs and OpenAPI specifications. It works with OpenAPI. The repository describes itself as: Open-source ManyChat alternative, built for AI. Omnichannel marketing across WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Zalo, Email, API, and Webchat 🤖.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding API endpoints
  • Creating routers
  • Defining procedures
  • Working with oRPC middleware

Example prompts

  • “/orpc-api”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9966b28. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • INVALID_CHATBOT_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Orpc API loads about 5.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,771 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.3k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,771 words (~5,314 tokens).
