api-agent-ready

api-agent-ready is a skill for Claude Code from GeckoVision/gecko-surf. It costs 186 tokens per session (1,796 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for making an API easier for AI agents to use without writing custom integration code. It improves the API's design, converts its documentation into first-call-correct MCP tools, and creates discovery information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an API for agent readiness, comprehend an OpenAPI specification or documentation page, serve the API over MCP, and produce breadcrumbs and setup artifacts.
Why use it?
It addresses human-oriented documentation, hidden authentication steps, unclear fields, and APIs too large to wrap endpoint by endpoint. Agents can access the full surface alongside the provider's existing MCP.

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-agent-ready 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

API Agent-Ready Skill

For the provider. Every other agent skill teaches how to call one API. This skill takes an API you own (or one you want agents to use) and makes its whole surface agent-usable — first-call-correct, over MCP — without writing integration code, and without touching the MCP the provider already ships.

What this skill is for

A provider's API is built for humans: prose docs, an auth handshake assumed, units implied, a spec with dozens–hundreds of operations. The provider can only hand-wrap a few endpoints into an MCP, so agents see a fraction of the API. The long tail stays invisible unless someone writes glue.

This skill closes that gap with gecko, the open-source comprehension engine. You run a spine that turns an OpenAPI (or a doc page) into a first-call-correct MCP for the full surface, emits the breadcrumbs agents use to find it, and serves it with a one-click add — alongside whatever MCP the provider built.

If the provider is still building or hardening the API, start one step earlier: Step 0 — Design for agents (best-practices.md) is a checklist for shaping endpoints agents consume well (one canonical read, field-complete, clear enums/required fields, a machine-authable auth path) before Gecko comprehends them. A surface designed to that checklist lands first-call-correct because it's unambiguous — not because a layer papered over the ambiguity.

"Make every API easily pluggable."

The spine

Pick the step you're on; load only the file you need (progressive, token-efficient). Step 0 is provider-side design work; steps 1–3 are where Gecko acts; 4–5 are the discipline that keeps it in lane.

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.
