implement-or-extend-api-surface

implement-or-extend-api-surface is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from achaykovsky/Cursor-Usage-Templates. It costs 0 tokens per session (420 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

An implementation helper for adding or extending API endpoints from a specification, OpenAPI document, or other contract. It covers the data types, input checks, and HTTP status codes that define how an API behaves.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement an endpoint from an API specification, add request and response types, validate inputs, or extend an existing API.
Why use it?
It reduces the gap between an API's written contract and its working code. It also helps new endpoints follow patterns already used in the project.

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

implement-or-extend-api-surface scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- Suggest a quick manual check (e.g. curl or test request) or add/run an existing test that hits the new or changed endpoint. Ensure success and error paths are covered.

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.
