api-integration-patterns

A collection of patterns for safely running subprocesses, using the GitHub command-line tool, and calling external APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when connecting code to APIs or command-line tools, including GitHub CLI, with retries, authentication, rate limits, and timeouts.
Why use it?
It addresses common integration problems such as failed requests, repeated retries, login details, request limits, and commands that run too long.

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.

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-integration-patterns 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (examples/github-issue-example.py, examples/github-pr-example.py, examples/safe-subprocess-example.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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

What ships with it

6 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.

api-integration-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository akaszubski/autonomous-dev (33 stars, last pushed 2d ago), with no licence file. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 2,281 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
