extract-api

A read-only tool that interprets component information from a base.json file exported by the uSpec Extract Figma plugin.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as part of component documentation work to identify properties, sub-components, configuration examples, and other API details.
Why use it?
It turns extracted Figma data into a consistent API description without requiring another Figma extraction.

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

extract-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 2d 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.

Extract API Data

Interpretation-only companion to create-api. This skill does not extract data from Figma. It reads {cachePath}/{componentSlug}-_base.json (produced by the uSpec Extract Figma plugin), applies the same reasoning layer as create-api, and writes the normalized ApiOverviewData JSON to disk for the create-component-md orchestrator to consume.

Quality contract: every reasoning step (context gathering from _base.json, override promotion pass, audit) mirrors create-api/SKILL.md. Any improvement to API-extraction quality must be made in both places.

Batch-mode contract. This skill MUST NOT call AskQuestion, prompt for confirmation, or pause for user input. On ambiguous evidence, emit the best-effort structured output (with _deltaExtractions[] logged if a delta fired). On missing evidence that cannot be resolved, abort with a single-line diagnostic pointing at the missing _base.json field. No mid-interpretation clarifications.

Invocation Contract

The orchestrator calls this skill with these inputs (already resolved — do NOT re-parse URLs or re-read uspecs.config.json):

  • componentSlug — filename-safe slug
  • cachePath — cache directory, typically .uspec-cache/{componentSlug}/
  • optionalContext — free-form string from the user (may be "none")
  • mcpProviderfigma-console or figma-mcp (only needed if a Step 3-delta escape hatch fires AND a live Figma link was provided to the orchestrator)
  • deltaAvailable — boolean. When the orchestrator received only a baseJsonPath (no figmaLink), this is false and the Step 3-delta escape hatch must not fire; log the gap in data._deltaExtractions[] with unavailable: "no-figma-link" and continue with best-effort output.
  • evidenceApiPath — optional. Path to {cachePath}/{componentSlug}-evidence-api.json from uspec-skills component-md prepare. When present and _meta.baseSourceHash matches the staged _base.json, use data as the Step 3 working evidence set and skip rebuilding it from the full base file.

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.

extract-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository redongreen/uSpec (239 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 7,354 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
