stripe-app-setup

stripe-app-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,593 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A setup guide for creating a restricted Stripe API key for an assistant. Stripe is a payment platform, and a restricted key limits which payment data and actions the assistant can access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect an assistant to Stripe for customers, subscriptions, invoices, refunds, and payment monitoring.
Why use it?
It provides the assistant with its own scoped access instead of using a broad secret key. This reduces what could be exposed if the key is compromised.

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 C, and why

stripe-app-setup scanned grade C with 2 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check-config.ts, scripts/store-key.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Set up a Stripe restricted API key so the assistant can interact with a Stripe account — querying customers, managing subscriptions, processing refunds, reading invoices, and monitoring payments as a scoped entity.

Restricted API keys (RAKs) limit access to only the specific Stripe resources the assistant needs, reducing the blast radius if a key is ever compromised. RAKs are drop-in replacements for secret keys — they work identically with every Stripe API.

Total manual effort: ~2 interactions — create the restricted key in the Dashboard and hand it over via secure prompt.

Prerequisites

  • User must have admin or developer access to the Stripe account
  • User must be logged into the Stripe Dashboard in their browser

Setup Flow

Step 0: Check Existing Configuration

Before starting, check whether Stripe is already configured by running the check script:

bun skills/stripe-app-setup/scripts/check-config.ts

The script outputs JSON: { "configured": boolean, "details": string }.

  • If configured is true — Stripe is already set up. Offer to verify the connection or reconfigure.
  • If configured is false — continue to Step 1.

Step 1: Create the Restricted API Key

Direct the user to create a new restricted key:

Open https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys and click + Create restricted key.

When Stripe asks "How will you use this API key?", select Providing this key to another website and enter the assistant's name.

Guide them through the permissions. A good default for managing payments, customers, and subscriptions:

Charges Read & Write

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.
