Versioned Oracle APEXlang skills for generating, compiling, deploying, and authoring Oracle APEX applications.

  • SKILL.md covers Supported Versions, Choosing a Version and Directory Structure
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Apexlang is an agent skill from oracle/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Versioned Oracle APEXlang skills for generating, compiling, deploying, and authoring Oracle APEX applications. Routes to the APEXlang skill set for APEX 26.1 or APEX 26.2.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Oracle Skills is a curated, open-source collection of practical, installable skills for working with Oracle technologies. It provides developers, administrators, and AI agents…

Example prompts

  • “/apexlang”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c57a52. 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

Apexlang loads about 405 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 122 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~405

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 (UPL-1.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 122 words (~405 tokens).

“APEXlang skills are versioned by Oracle APEX release. Route to the version that matches the target application, then load only that version's skills. Do not mix skills or example applications from different versions.”
