What it does

API Pagination is an agent skill from secondsky/claude-skills. Implements efficient API pagination using offset, cursor, and keyset strategies for large datasets. Use when building paginated endpoints, implementing infinite scroll, or optimizing database queries for collections.

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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: Production-ready skills for Claude Code CLI - Cloudflare, React, Tailwind v4, and AI integrations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

“Use the api-pagination skill to implement efficient API pagination using offset, cursor, and keyset strategies for large datasets”
“/api-pagination”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8837836. 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 javascript and json).
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 Pagination loads about 530 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 65 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~530

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.

API Pagination

Implement scalable pagination strategies for handling large datasets efficiently.

Pagination Strategies

Strategy	Best For	Performance
Offset/Limit	Small datasets, simple UI	O(n)
Cursor	Infinite scroll, real-time	O(1)
Keyset	Large datasets	O(1)

Offset Pagination

javascript

app.get('/products', async (req, res) => {
  const page = parseInt(req.query.page) || 1;
  const limit = Math.min(parseInt(req.query.limit) || 20, 100);
  const offset = (page - 1) * limit;

  const [products, total] = await Promise.all([
    Product.find().skip(offset).limit(limit),
    Product.countDocuments()
  ]);

  res.json({
    data: products,
    pagination: {
      page,
      limit,
      total,
      totalPages: Math.ceil(total / limit)
    }
  });
});

Cursor Pagination

javascript

app.get('/posts', async (req, res) => {
  const limit = 20;
  const cursor = req.query.cursor;

  const query = cursor
    ? { _id: { $gt: Buffer.from(cursor, 'base64').toString() } }
    : {};

  const posts = await Post.find(query).limit(limit + 1);
  const hasMore = posts.length > limit;
  if (hasMore) posts.pop();

  res.json({
    data: posts,
    nextCursor: hasMore ? Buffer.from(posts[posts.length - 1]._id).toString('base64') : null
  });
});

Response Format

json

{
  "data": [...],
  "pagination": {
    "page": 2,
    "limit": 20,
    "total": 150,
    "totalPages": 8
  },
  "links": {
    "first": "/api/products?page=1",
    "prev": "/api/products?page=1",
    "next": "/api/products?page=3",
    "last": "/api/products?page=8"
  }
}

Best Practices

Set reasonable max limits (e.g., 100)
Use cursor pagination for large datasets
Index sorting fields
Avoid COUNT queries when possible
Never allow unlimited page sizes
