What it does

Windsurf API Development is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Generate API clients and documentation with Cascade. Activate when users mention "generate api client", "api documentation", "openapi generation", "sdk generation", or "api integration". Handles API development workflows. Use when working with APIs or building integrations. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf api development", "windsurf development", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/directory-structure.md`, `references/errors.md` and `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering OpenAPI specifications, Third-party API integration and Technical documentation. It works with OpenAPI. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • S mention generate api client
  • Api documentation
  • Openapi generation
  • Api integration

Example prompts

  • “generate api client”
  • “api documentation”
  • “openapi generation”
  • “/windsurf-api-development”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(cmd:*), Grep

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Define API Specification
  2. Generate Clients
  3. Implement Endpoints
  4. Create Documentation
  5. Test and Validate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ea8d4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(cmd:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.windsurf.ai
    • swagger.io

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Windsurf API Development loads about 501 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~501
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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.
