wow-api-settings-system

wow-api-settings-system is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JBurlison/WoWAddonAPIAgents. It costs 66 tokens per session (792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to WoW Retail console variables, called CVars, which are client settings for graphics, sound, the interface, and some gameplay behavior. It explains how add-ons and the in-game /console command read and change these settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect, set, reset, or troubleshoot CVars with GetCVar, SetCVar, related functions, or /console commands. It also covers defaults, security information, the console window, and Config.wtf behavior.
Why use it?
It clarifies which commands and functions to use, what each setting’s scope is, and when security or combat restrictions prevent changes. This avoids relying on incorrect setting names or unsafe changes.

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

wow-api-settings-system 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 3d 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.

WoW Settings System (CVars and Console)

Use this skill when you need to explain or work with console variables (CVars) and console commands in WoW Retail.

What CVars Are

  • CVars are client configuration values that affect graphics, sound, UI, and gameplay behavior.
  • Many settings in the in-game Interface options map directly to CVars.
  • The authoritative, up-to-date list is on the wiki. Use it instead of copying large lists.

Reference: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Console_variables

Reading and Setting CVars

API (AddOns or scripts)

  • Read: GetCVar(name) returns a string value.
  • Read default: GetCVarDefault(name) returns the coded default value.
  • Inspect: GetCVarInfo(name) can indicate if a CVar is secure.
  • Write: SetCVar(name, value) sets a value as a string.

Example:

-- Enable UI error popups
SetCVar("scriptErrors", 1)

/console Command

  • Use /console <name> <value> in chat.
  • Example:
/console scriptErrors 1

Console Window

  • Enable with /console enable or start the client with -console.
  • Open the console window with the ` or ~ key.

Secure CVars and Combat Restrictions

  • Secure CVars cannot be changed in combat.
  • Secure CVars must be changed via SetCVar (not /console).
  • Use GetCVarInfo to determine if a CVar is secure before changing it.

CVar Scope (Account vs Character)

  • Some CVars are account-wide, others are character-specific.
  • Character or account specific values may sync to the server (when synchronizeConfig is enabled).
  • Changing a character specific CVar only affects the current character.

Resetting CVars

  • Reset one CVar to default:
SetCVar("autoSelfCast", GetCVarDefault("autoSelfCast"))
  • Console reset:
/console cvar_default autoSelfCast
  • Full reset:
/console cvar_default

Note: Account or character specific CVars that are synced may persist even after reinstalling or deleting the WTF folder.

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.
