What it does

API Design Safety is an agent skill from doccker/cc-use-exp. 当设计或修改 REST API 响应结构、处理 API 返回值时触发。防止 API 设计缺陷导致的字段错位、类型歧义等问题。

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 API design. It works with Java. The repository describes itself as: ⛔ No longer maintained → dev-agent-kit/recipes 让 Claude Code、Antigravity、Gemini CLI、Codex、Cursor 开箱即用的分层配置模板,总结十多年的日常开发经验.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve REST APIs
  • Tasks that involve API design

Example prompts

  • “/api-design-safety”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64470cb. 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 java).

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

API Design Safety loads about 962 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~962

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 192 words (~962 tokens).
