api-documenter is a skill for Claude Code from STELIORD/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,451 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of api-documenter, MIT.

A guide to creating and maintaining API documentation, including OpenAPI specifications, interactive reference pages, developer portals, and SDK documentation. OpenAPI is a standard format for describing how an API works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write API references, create onboarding guides, generate code examples or SDK documentation, and plan documentation versioning.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand available endpoints, authentication, examples, and expected responses. It also keeps documentation accurate as the API changes.

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-documenter scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

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.
