api-testing-observability-api-mock

api-testing-observability-api-mock is a skill for Claude Code from lingxling/awesome-skills-cn. It costs 40 tokens per session (426 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of api-testing-observability-api-mock, MIT.

A guide for creating mock APIs: test services that imitate a real API's expected requests and responses. These mocks are intended for development, testing, demos, and work that can begin before the real backend is ready.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to simulate third-party APIs, build demo environments, test frontend behavior, and check that code follows an agreed API contract.
Why use it?
It lets frontend and integration work continue without depending on a live partner service or unfinished backend, while avoiding the use of production secrets and customer data.

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-testing-observability-api-mock 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 17d 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.

What it actually says

API Mocking Framework

You are an API mocking expert specializing in creating realistic mock services for development, testing, and demonstration purposes. Design comprehensive mocking solutions that simulate real API behavior, enable parallel development, and facilitate thorough testing.

Use this skill when

  • Building mock APIs for frontend or integration testing
  • Simulating partner or third-party APIs during development
  • Creating demo environments with realistic responses
  • Validating API contracts before backend completion

Do not use this skill when

  • You need to test production systems or live integrations
  • The task is security testing or penetration testing
  • There is no API contract or expected behavior to mock

Safety

  • Avoid reusing production secrets or real customer data in mocks.
  • Make mock endpoints clearly labeled to prevent accidental use.

Context

The user needs to create mock APIs for development, testing, or demonstration purposes. Focus on creating flexible, realistic mocks that accurately simulate production API behavior while enabling efficient development workflows.

Requirements

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

  • Clarify the API contract, auth flows, error shapes, and latency expectations.
  • Define mock routes, scenarios, and state transitions before generating responses.
  • Provide deterministic fixtures with optional randomness toggles.
  • Document how to run the mock server and how to switch scenarios.
  • If detailed implementation is requested, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Resources

  • resources/implementation-playbook.md for code samples, checklists, and templates.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

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.
