What it does

Sillytavern API Reference is an agent skill from LiarMTTT/TavernWeave. Verify exact SillyTavern, Tavern Helper / JS-Slash-Runner, STScript, macro, prompt-injection, worldbook, EJS, MVU, and runtime-library capabilities before implementing or reviewing rolecard automation. Use when a task depends on a function signature, event payload, slash-command grammar, variable scope, message-floor operation, generation option, runtime-symbol provider, Git/CDN loader, or version-sensitive extension capability.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/core-facts.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins and Prompt injection and agent security. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Noncommercial Agent Skills for SillyTavern rolecard engineering.

When your agent uses it

  • A task depends on a function signature
  • Slash-command grammar
  • Message-floor operation
  • Generation option

Example prompts

  • “/sillytavern-api-reference”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Capture the target versions and capabilities. In a Tavern Helper context, prefer getTavernVersion() and getTavernHelperVersion(). Probe…
  2. Identify whether each dependency is host-provided, embedded in the card, or loaded
  3. Search the authority that matches those versions. Prefer runtime source or official versioned documentation, then matching declarations…
  4. Copy the exact symbol spelling, parameter shape, return type, event constant, or command grammar. Never reconstruct it from memory.
  5. Record provenance beside version-sensitive work using this compact form
  6. Implement the narrowest supported API and add capability failure behavior. Do not silently fall back to private host DOM, deprecated APIs…
  7. Verify the call in the intended context. A browser console probe does not prove the same global exists inside a message iframe, script…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d9da0b0. 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.

    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

Sillytavern API Reference loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,140 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5k

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 1,140 words (~2,356 tokens).

“Apply TW plain-language and guidance rules to user-facing work. Explain terms in context; preserve the user's chosen 新人/入门/熟练/老手 level without inferred changes. 新人 and 入门 receive detailed explanations; every level receives needed and bug explanations unless the user explicitly waives…”
