What it does

Soundcloud API Discovery is an agent skill from soundcloud/api. Implements SoundCloud discovery endpoints — track search, related tracks, and related artists — with URN path parameters and linkedpartitioning pagination. Use when building recommendations, “similar” features, or search UIs.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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: A public repo for our Developer Community to engage about bugs and feature requests on our Public API.

When your agent uses it

  • Building recommendations
  • Similar features

Example prompts

  • “similar”
  • “Use the soundcloud-api-discovery skill to implement SoundCloud discovery endpoints — track search, related tracks, and related artists — with URN…”
  • “/soundcloud-api-discovery”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Accept access_token and resource URN as parameters
  2. Use httpx or requests
  3. Return (items, next_href) tuple
  4. Raise clear exceptions on non-2xx responses

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 33092b8. 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:

    • api.soundcloud.com

    Also links to:

    • developers.soundcloud.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

Soundcloud API Discovery loads about 449 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~449

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 134 words (~449 tokens).

“Requires an access token (Authorization: OAuth ). Confirm paths and parameters in the OpenAPI spec.”
