What it does

Defold API Fetch is an agent skill from selimanac/defold-astar. Fetches Defold API documentation. Use when working with Defold engine APIs, looking up Lua/C++ functions, or needing API reference for game development.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Game Development, covering Game development and Technical documentation. It works with Lua, C++ and Firebase. The repository describes itself as: Pathfinder and A solver (astar or a-star) native extension for Defold Engine build on MicroPather.

When your agent uses it

  • Working with Defold engine APIs
  • Looking up Lua/C++ functions
  • Needing API reference for game development

Example prompts

  • “Use the defold-api-fetch skill to fetch Defold API documentation. An agent skill from selimanac/defold-astar”
  • “/defold-api-fetch”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the namespace (e.g., go, gui, vmath)
  2. Fetch the corresponding URL (all URLs are plain Markdown — fetch and read the raw content)
  3. Example: fetch https://defold.com/llms/apis/go-lua.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1471c54. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • defold.com

    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

Defold API Fetch loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 450 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 450 words (~2,462 tokens).

“Fetch documentation from the links below (the URLs point to plain Markdown files).”
