What it does

API Documenter is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Master API documentation with OpenAPI 3.1, AI-powered tools, and modern developer experience practices. Create interactive docs, generate SDKs, and build comprehensive developer portals.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Platform engineering, Technical documentation and OpenAPI specifications. It works with OpenAPI. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Platform engineering
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation
  • Tasks that involve OpenAPI specifications

Example prompts

  • “/api-documenter”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify target users, API scope, and documentation goals.
  2. Create or validate specifications with examples and auth flows.
  3. Build interactive docs and ensure accuracy with tests.
  4. Plan maintenance, versioning, and migration guidance.

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 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

API Documenter loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 943 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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 943 words (~2,110 tokens).

“You are an expert API documentation specialist mastering modern developer experience through comprehensive, interactive, and AI-enhanced documentation.”
