What it does
REST Patterns is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Quick reference for RESTful API design patterns, HTTP semantics, caching, and rate limiting. Triggers on: rest api, http methods, status codes, api design, endpoint design, api versioning, rate limiting, caching headers.
Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/caching-patterns.md`, `references/rate-limiting.md` and `references/response-formats.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering REST APIs, Rate limiting and API design. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- Endpoint design
- Caching headers
Example prompts
- “/rest-patterns”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. 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:
ReadWrite
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 http).
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
REST Patterns loads about 737 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 237 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 237 words (~737 tokens).

Questions about REST Patterns
What does REST Patterns do?
Quick reference for RESTful API design patterns, HTTP semantics, caching, and rate limiting. REST Patterns is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Quick reference for RESTful API design patterns, HTTP semantics, caching, and rate limiting.
When should I use REST Patterns?
REST Patterns fits situations like: endpoint design; caching headers.
How do I install REST Patterns in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill rest-patterns -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/0xdarkmatter/rest-patterns in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .claude/skills/rest-patterns in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install REST Patterns in Codex?
Run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill rest-patterns -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/0xdarkmatter/rest-patterns in aiskillstore/marketplace) into .agents/skills/rest-patterns in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use REST Patterns in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill rest-patterns -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/rest-patterns, .gemini/skills/rest-patterns, .github/skills/rest-patterns and .opencode/skills/rest-patterns in your project.
What does REST Patterns need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: REST Patterns is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write.
Does REST Patterns access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is REST Patterns safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does REST Patterns use?
No licence was found for REST Patterns or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does REST Patterns use?
About 737 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to REST Patterns?
