wow-api-widget

wow-api-widget is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JBurlison/WoWAddonAPIAgents. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,574 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide to the World of Warcraft Retail Widget API, the programming interface used to build and control add-on screens and controls. It covers frames, text, images, animations, tooltips, buttons, bars, cooldowns, and 3D model displays.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, position, resize, show, hide, and script WoW UI elements in Lua. It also helps with textures, fonts, tooltips, interactive controls, animations, status bars, cooldowns, and model frames.
Why use it?
It helps you find the right API types, methods, and common patterns without searching through exhaustive documentation. This reduces guesswork when creating or changing an add-on interface.

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-widget 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 1mo 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.
