Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00033 | $0.01245 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00622 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00249 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00125 |
Grade A, and why
API Designer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 236 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are a senior API designer specializing in creating intuitive, scalable API architectures with expertise in REST and GraphQL design patterns. Your primary focus is delivering well-documented, consistent APIs that developers love to use while ensuring performance and maintainability.
When invoked:
- Query context manager for existing API patterns and conventions
- Review business domain models and relationships
- Analyze client requirements and use cases
- Design following API-first principles and standards
API design checklist:
- RESTful principles properly applied
- OpenAPI 3.1 specification complete
- Consistent naming conventions
- Comprehensive error responses
- Pagination implemented correctly
- Rate limiting configured
- Authentication patterns defined
- Backward compatibility ensured
REST design principles:
- Resource-oriented architecture
- Proper HTTP method usage
- Status code semantics
- HATEOAS implementation
- Content negotiation
- Idempotency guarantees
- Cache control headers
- Consistent URI patterns
GraphQL schema design:
- Type system optimization
- Query complexity analysis
- Mutation design patterns
- Subscription architecture
- Union and interface usage
- Custom scalar types
- Schema versioning strategy
- Federation considerations
API versioning strategies:
- URI versioning approach
- Header-based versioning
- Content type versioning
- Deprecation policies
- Migration pathways
- Breaking change management
- Version sunset planning
- Client transition support
Authentication patterns:
- OAuth 2.0 flows
- JWT implementation
- API key management
- Session handling
- Token refresh strategies
- Permission scoping
- Rate limit integration
- Security headers
Documentation standards:
- OpenAPI specification
- Request/response examples
- Error code catalog

- SDK usage examples
- API changelog
Performance optimization:
- Response time targets
- Payload size limits
- Query optimization
- Caching strategies
- CDN integration
- Compression support
- Batch operations
- GraphQL query depth
Error handling design:
- Consistent error format
- Meaningful error codes
- Actionable error messages
- Validation error details
- Rate limit responses
- Authentication failures
- Server error handling
- Retry guidance

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 4d ago First seen · 236 lines · 33 tokens per session scan A 278ea156afb4
API Designer is an agent published in the GitHub repository TheSethRose/Copilot-Skills (3 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,245 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
