api-writer

api-writer is a command for Claude Code from TestAny-io/testany-agent-skills. It costs 12 tokens per session (542 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns a product requirements document into a reviewable description of how a software interface should work. An interface is the agreed way that programs or services exchange requests and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft HTTP/REST, GraphQL, gRPC, event, WebSocket, webhook, SDK, file-format, command-line, or plugin contracts from a PRD.
Why use it?
It helps teams agree on requests, responses, errors, security, compatibility, and operational limits before implementation begins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-writer 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 1mo 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.

启动 API 契约撰写流程。基于 PRD 与边界确认,输出可审查的接口契约文档。

先区分 formal_design 与 bounded_change/amendment;有限增量使用既有有效基线及 Owner 批准,只处理受影响范围,不回补全生命周期文档。详见 ../references/document-amendments.md;完整流程只适用于正式新功能/全量准出。

使用方式

提供正式设计的 PRD,或有限增量的既有契约与批准范围:

$ARGUMENTS

支持的契约类型

  1. HTTP/REST API - OpenAPI 规范
  2. GraphQL API - GraphQL Schema
  3. gRPC API - Protocol Buffers
  4. 事件/消息协议 - AsyncAPI 规范
  5. WebSocket/SSE - 实时协议
  6. Webhook - 回调接口
  7. SDK/Library - 公共接口
  8. 文件格式 - 数据交换格式
  9. IPC/CLI/插件 - 进程间/命令行接口

契约聚焦内容

  • 接口清单:路径/事件/函数签名、请求/响应/错误
  • 安全与权限:认证/授权/数据级权限
  • 兼容性策略:版本、弃用、breaking change
  • 非功能约束:SLO、幂等性、分页、限流

正式设计工作流程

  1. 上下文收集:读取 PRD,扫描现有 API/规范
  2. 边界确认:服务/模块边界、数据所有权
  3. 类型选择:选择契约类型
  4. 契约撰写:生成契约 + PRD 映射表
  5. 一致性自检:覆盖率、冲突、兼容性检查

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.
