api-check

api-check is a skill for Claude Code from delimit-ai/delimit-mcp-server. It costs 20 tokens per session (200 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An API change checker for OpenAPI specifications. OpenAPI is a machine-readable description of an HTTP API, including its endpoints, inputs, and responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare the current API specification with the version on the base branch, find breaking changes and lint problems, and suggest the required semantic-version increase.
Why use it?
It shows whether changes break existing API clients, violate specification rules, or require a new version number before a pull request is merged.

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-check 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 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.

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

Find the changed OpenAPI spec and the PR base branch. Materialize its base version with git show <base>:<spec-path> into a temporary file with the same YAML or JSON extension; clean it up afterward. If the base has no spec, say that a two-version check is unavailable. Compare the base file (old_spec) with the working spec (new_spec) using delimit_lint with dry_run: true, delimit_diff, and delimit_semver. Report the breaking changes from delimit_diff.changes where is_breaking is true, the lint violations or errors, and the semver bump. Include next_version only if you supplied current_version to delimit_semver. Do not call a clean result proof of compatibility when the diff reports advisories.

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.
