skilllite: Skill for Claude Code

.skills/http-request/SKILL.md

http-request is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EXboys/skilllite. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,055 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A general HTTP client for sending requests to web services, including APIs that exchange data over the internet.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH requests with headers, JSON bodies, query parameters, timeouts, retries, and HTML-to-Markdown conversion.
Why use it?
It removes the need to write separate request code for common API calls or to handle routine response and connection issues manually.

This is EXboys/skilllite's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on skilllite itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything skilllite configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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

http-request 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/main.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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

HTTP Request Skill

一个通用的 HTTP 网络请求技能,支持常见的 RESTful API 调用。

功能特性

  • 支持 GET、POST、PUT、DELETE、PATCH 方法
  • 支持自定义请求头
  • 支持 JSON 请求体
  • 支持 URL 查询参数
  • 支持超时设置
  • 旧版 SSL 兼容:支持连接使用旧版 TLS 的服务器(如部分政府/教育网站)
  • 浏览器级 User-Agent:减少 503/反爬拦截
  • Wikipedia/Wikimedia 合规:访问 wikipedia.org / wikimedia.org / wikidata.org 时自动使用合规 User-Agent(否则易 403),并加 1.5 秒间隔降低限流
  • 自动重试:对 502/503/504 自动重试 2 次
  • HTML→Markdown:网页响应自动转为 Markdown(默认),降低 token 消耗

使用示例

GET 请求

{
  "url": "https://httpbin.org/get",
  "method": "GET",
  "params": {"name": "test"}
}

POST 请求

{
  "url": "https://httpbin.org/post",
  "method": "POST",
  "headers": {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
  "body": {"message": "hello world"}
}

天气查询(推荐 Open-Meteo,免费无 key)

{
  "url": "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast",
  "method": "GET",
  "params": {
    "latitude": 18.7883,
    "longitude": 98.9853,
    "daily": "temperature_2m_max,temperature_2m_min,weathercode",
    "timezone": "Asia/Bangkok",
    "forecast_days": 2
  }
}

清迈坐标 18.7883,98.9853。返回 JSON 含 daily.time、temperature_2m_max/min、weathercode。

wttr.in 亦可用:https://wttr.in/Chiang_Mai?format=j1,skill 会自动用 curl UA 以获取 JSON。

Wikipedia 获取城市/地点摘要(推荐,限流较宽松)

{
  "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/Chiang_Mai",
  "method": "GET"
}

或 .../page/summary/Bangkok。返回 JSON 含 extract、description、title 等。

Wikipedia 搜索 API(params 可用 q,skill 会自动转为 action=query&list=search)

{
  "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php",
  "method": "GET",
  "params": {"q": "Chiang Mai tourism"}
}

What ships with it

2 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.
