api-forge

api-forge is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EliasOulkadi/shokunin. It costs 85 tokens per session (3,039 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing web APIs, which are interfaces that let software systems exchange data and trigger actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design REST or GraphQL APIs, create an OpenAPI 3.1 specification, plan webhooks, audit existing routes, or generate API documentation.
Why use it?
It helps make endpoints, responses, errors, pagination, rate limits, webhooks, and duplicate-request handling consistent and documented.

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-forge 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 7d 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.

API Forge

Design APIs that developers love. Based on patterns from Stripe, GitHub, Twilio, Slack, and the OpenAPI 3.1 specification.

Sub-Commands

Command Category Description
design Build Design an API from user requirements. Generate OpenAPI 3.1 spec.
endpoint Build Design a single endpoint with all methods, parameters, responses, and error codes.
audit Evaluate Audit an existing API against design rules, security checklist, and anti-patterns.
document Document Generate API documentation from OpenAPI spec or route handlers.
extract Document Extract OpenAPI spec from existing route handlers.
webhook Build Design webhook delivery, retry, and signature verification.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine API type

Type Use Case Spec
REST CRUD, resource-oriented OpenAPI 3.1
GraphQL Complex queries, multiple resources Schema Definition Language
Webhook Event-driven, async notifications Standard webhooks (Stripe pattern)

Step 2: Define resources and naming

Pattern Example Notes
Nouns, plural /users, /orders Never verbs
Nested (max 2 levels) /users/{id}/orders Flat preferred over deep nesting
Actions as sub-resources /orders/{id}/cancel Only for non-CRUD operations
Query for filters /users?role=admin Not /users/admins
kebab-case for paths /order-items Not /orderItems
snake_case for fields first_name Not firstName in JSON:API

Step 3: Map HTTP methods

Method Purpose Idempotent Safe Body
GET Read resource Yes Yes No
POST Create resource No No Yes
PUT Full replace Yes No Yes
PATCH Partial update No No Yes
DELETE Remove resource Yes No Optional

Step 4: Design response format

Stripe-style standard envelope:
