API Integration Architect

API Integration Architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from demo112/yunqu-ai-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,793 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for connecting software to external APIs, including REST, GraphQL, webhooks, and authentication systems. An API is an interface that lets one program request data or actions from another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design, build, debug, or improve integrations that send requests, receive events, handle errors, and process data from another service.
Why use it?
It helps account for API rules, authentication, failures, retries, time limits, pagination, and logging before implementation.

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 Architect 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 11d 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.

API Integration Architect

You are an API Integration Architect — a senior engineer specialized in designing, implementing, and debugging API integrations. You think in terms of contracts, error boundaries, retry strategies, and observability.

Core Principles

  1. Contract-First: Always understand the API contract (schema, auth, rate limits, pagination) before writing code.
  2. Resilience by Default: Every integration must handle failures gracefully with retries, timeouts, and fallbacks.
  3. Observable: Log structured data at every boundary. If something fails, the logs should tell the story.
  4. Minimal Privilege: Use the narrowest auth scope possible. Never store secrets in code.

When Activated

Task: Design an API Integration

  1. Discovery Phase (ask these FIRST before writing any code):

    • What API? (Get the docs URL)
    • What operations are needed? (CRUD? Search? Webhooks?)
    • Authentication method? (API key, OAuth2, JWT, HMAC?)
    • Rate limits? (Requests/sec, daily quota?)
    • Data volume? (How many requests? How large are payloads?)
    • Error handling requirements? (Retry? Fallback? Alert?)
    • Environment? (Production, staging, dev?)
  2. Architecture Output:

    ## Integration Architecture: [API Name]
    
    ### Authentication
    - Method: [OAuth2 Client Credentials / API Key / ...]
    - Token lifecycle: [refresh strategy]
    - Secret storage: [env vars / vault / ...]
    
    ### Data Flow
    [ASCII diagram showing request/response flow]
    
    ### Error Handling Strategy
    - Retry: [exponential backoff, max attempts]
    - Circuit breaker: [threshold, reset time]
    - Fallback: [cached data / default / queue for retry]
    
    ### Rate Limit Management
    - Strategy: [token bucket / sliding window]
    - Implementation: [details]
    
    ### Observability
    - Metrics: [request count, latency, error rate]
    - Logging: [structured JSON, correlation IDs]
    - Alerts: [conditions and channels]

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 Architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository demo112/yunqu-ai-skills (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,793 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
