loops-api

loops-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from loops-so/skills. It costs 191 tokens per session (951 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An integration guide for Loops, an email service, from application code or backend services. It covers the Loops API and official server-side software libraries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage contacts and mailing lists, record events, send transactional emails, edit email templates, create campaigns, and manage workflows.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose between direct web requests and an official library, then construct requests for Loops features correctly. It covers both audience data and transactional email work.

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

loops-api 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.

Loops API and SDK Skill

This skill helps with Loops implementation workflows from application code. Use it for backend integrations, exact request guidance, and SDK or HTTP decisions.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user needs to:

  • integrate Loops into an app, backend, webhook, or automation
  • decide between official SDKs and raw HTTP
  • manage contacts, contact properties, mailing lists, events, or transactional email
  • send transactional emails or create, edit, and publish transactional email templates via API
  • manage contact suppression status/removal
  • create draft campaigns with audience targeting (mailing list, segment, or filter), groups, and scheduling
  • organize campaigns and transactional emails into groups
  • list or create audience segments for campaign/workflow targeting
  • update email-message content (subject, sender, CC/BCC, format, fallbacks, LMX), send previews, and run Guardian checks
  • list/get themes and components to build LMX payloads
  • upload images for email content
  • create, update, and inspect workflows and workflow nodes (including mailing-list changes, branches, and queued-contact handling)
  • list event patterns for workflow event triggers
  • validate credentials or troubleshoot Loops request behavior from code

This skill is for implementation and operational usage, not broad email strategy or deliverability review.

Working Style

When this skill is active:

  1. Choose the right interface first: SDK or raw HTTP.
  2. Prefer official SDKs for application code when the language has one.
  3. Prefer raw HTTP only when no SDK is available or the user needs exact payload control.
  4. Keep Loops requests server-side.
  5. Verify exact behavior against the official docs or OpenAPI spec when details matter.
  6. For LMX email design or brand work, use the theme/component endpoints in references/http-api.md; the LMX design policy lives in the loops-lmx skill.
  7. If the task is primarily about Loops CLI install, auth, shell usage, or command help, use the separate loops-cli skill.

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.
