Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00049 | $0.01153 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00576 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00231 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00115 |
Grade A, and why
roboflow-api-reference 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
For agents — source-of-truth: This skill is authored in
roboflow/computer-vision-skillsand shipped with the Roboflow plugin. If your client has loaded the plugin (you'll seeroboflow:<name>skills in your available skills list), use those local skills — they're read fresh from disk every session. The same content served as MCP resources atroboflow://skills/<name>/...is a fallback for clients without the plugin and may lag this repo. Don't callReadMcpResourceToolforroboflow://skills/...URIs when a localroboflow:<name>skill is available.
Tip: If you're connected to the Roboflow MCP server, prefer its tools (
projects_*,versions_*,models_*,workflows_*,images_*, …) over raw REST calls — they handle auth, pagination, and typed responses for you. The REST patterns below stay relevant if you're not using MCP.
Roboflow API Reference — Overview
API Hosts
| Host | Base URL | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Platform API | https://api.roboflow.com |
CRUD for projects, images, versions, training, upload |
| Serverless Inference | https://serverless.roboflow.com |
Model inference + Workflow execution |
| Dedicated Deployment | https://<name>.roboflow.cloud |
Private GPU inference (same API as serverless) |
| Self-hosted Inference | http://localhost:9001 |
Local inference server via inference package |
Use the inference-sdk Python package as the preferred client for all inference hosts. It handles auth, retries, and response parsing.
Authentication
| Method | Where | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Query parameter | All hosts | ?api_key=YOUR_KEY |
| Request body | Platform API + Workflow inference | "api_key": "YOUR_KEY" in JSON body |
| Header | MCP server (mcp.roboflow.com) |
x-api-key: YOUR_KEY (handled automatically by MCP) |
API keys are workspace-scoped. Get yours from Workspace Settings > API Keys in the Roboflow dashboard (app.roboflow.com/{workspace}/settings/api). Personal API keys are at /settings/account → API Keys tab.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

roboflow-api-reference is a skill published in the GitHub repository roboflow/computer-vision-skills (35 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,153 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
wayfinder
Plan a huge chunk of work (more than one agent session can hold) as a shared map of decision tickets on your issue tracker, and resolve them one at a time until the way to the destination is clear.
setup-matt-pocock-skills
Configure this repo for the engineering skills: set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.
accessibility
Consolidated accessibility skill entrypoint for WCAG 2.2, ARIA Authoring Practices, cognitive accessibility, Section 508, EN 301 549, design intent verification, and the Accessibility Planner workflow.
release-notes
Generate user-facing release notes from tickets, PRDs, or changelogs. Creates clear, engaging summaries organized by category (new features, improvements, fixes). Use when writing release notes, creating changelogs, announcing product updates, or summarizing what shipped.
retro
Facilitate a structured sprint retrospective — what went well, what didn't, and prioritized action items with owners and deadlines. Use when running a retrospective, reflecting on a sprint, creating action items from team feedback, or learning how to run effective retros.
bug-triage
Read all open bugs in production/qa/bugs/, re-evaluate priority vs. severity, assign to sprints, surface systemic trends, and produce a triage report. Run at sprint start or when the bug count grows enough to need re-prioritization.
