A Python web service for managing a book collection through a REST API, with Flask and a local SQLite database. REST API means web endpoints that programs use to create, read, update, and delete data.

Use it as a starting point for a book catalog API, including filtering by author, health checks, and unit tests.

It provides a ready example of book storage, validation, error handling, and HTTP responses instead of requiring those pieces to be designed from scratch.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00316
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00126

Security

Grade A, and why

rep1 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (app.py, tests.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Book API Python REST Service Implementation

This skill implements a complete REST API service for managing a book collection in Python with Flask and SQLite database.

Features

Create, read, update, and delete books
Filter books by author
Health check endpoint
Input validation
JSON responses with appropriate HTTP status codes
SQLite database storage

Endpoints

POST /books - Create a new book (title, author, year, isbn)
GET /books - List all books (support ?author= filter)
GET /books/{id} - Get a single book by ID
PUT /books/{id} - Update a book
DELETE /books/{id} - Delete a book
GET /health - Health check

Implementation Details

The implementation uses:

Python 3.6+
Flask web framework
SQLite3 via built-in sqlite3 module
Embedded database in a local file (books.db)
HTTP handlers for all endpoints
Proper error handling and validation
Unit tests for all functionality

Usage

Install dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Run the application:
```
python app.py
```
The API will be available at http://localhost:8080

Testing

The implementation includes unit tests covering:

Health check endpoint
Book creation with validation
Book retrieval
Book updates
Book deletion
Error handling

Files

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
