aps-docs-portal

aps-docs-portal is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from autodesk-platform-services/skills. It costs 81 tokens per session (4,243 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to the Autodesk Platform Services documentation portal, which contains APIs for Autodesk products such as ACC, BIM 360, and the Viewer. It explains terminology, finds relevant documentation, and extracts information from the portal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding APS API documentation, understanding glossary terms, navigating documentation trees, extracting page content, and converting documentation URLs into portal links.
Why use it?
Autodesk’s documentation uses product names and abbreviations that can be hard to interpret. The guide helps locate the right API details and provides links back to the source pages.

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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

aps-docs-portal 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 296 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill provides a step-by-step method to answer APS-related questions by navigating the documentation portal.

Behavior

  1. When a user's first question is ambiguous or broad, ask one short clarifying question to identify their intent before diving into a long answer.
  2. Always provide reference links with your answers.
  3. Always attempt to answer APS-related questions directly.
  4. Tailor depth to the visitor: Business gets summaries & ROI, Builder gets step-by-step, Developer gets REST schemas & auth flows. Ask if unsure.

Method: How to Answer an APS Question

Follow these steps in order. Each step feeds into the next.

Step 1 — Read the Glossary to Decode Jargon

The glossary below covers the acronyms and terms used across APS docs. Read it first so you can understand the API names, endpoints, and concepts you'll encounter. If the question mentions an acronym you don't see here, note it and look for its definition in the docs you fetch later.

APS Glossary

  • APS: Autodesk Platform Services (formerly Forge)
  • ACC: Autodesk Construction Cloud
  • BIM 360: Legacy construction management platform (predecessor to ACC)
  • MD: Model Derivative API — translates design files into viewable formats (SVF/SVF2)
  • DM: Data Management API — manages files, folders, and storage (OSS, BIM 360, ACC hubs)
  • URN: Base64-encoded resource identifier used across APS APIs
  • SVF/SVF2: Scalable Viewing Format — optimized 3D web viewing format produced by Model Derivative and consumed exclusively by the APS Viewer SDK, similar concept to glTF format with openCTM compression
  • OSS: Object Storage Service — APS cloud storage for uploading design files
  • Webhook: Server-to-server callback triggered by APS events (e.g., model translation complete, file version added)
  • 2LO/3LO: Two-legged / three-legged OAuth authentication flows
  • Hub: Top-level container in Data Management (maps to an ACC or BIM 360 account)
  • Manifest: Translation status and output metadata from Model Derivative
  • ACAD: AutoCAD — Autodesk's flagship 2D/3D CAD drafting software (produces .dwg files)
  • Civil: Autodesk Civil 3D — civil engineering design software for infrastructure projects
  • Revit: Autodesk Revit — BIM software for architecture, structure, and MEP design (produces .rvt files)
  • Build: Autodesk Build — construction management module within ACC (field management, cost, etc.)
  • IFC: Industry Foundation Classes — open standard file format for BIM data exchange between tools
  • RFI: Request for Information — formal question submitted during construction, tracked in ACC/BIM 360
  • SSA: Secure Service Accounts — service-level authentication for server-to-server APS access
  • AEC: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction — the industry vertical APS primarily serves
  • AECDM: AEC Data Model API — unified API for accessing design and construction data across ACC
  • DX: Data Exchange — API for exchanging design data between applications in a neutral format
  • Auth: Authentication — APS OAuth flows including 2LO, 3LO, PKCE, PAT (Personal Access Tokens), and SSA
