api

api is a skill for Claude Code from xiaobei930/cc-best. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to REST API design, a common way for software systems to exchange data over HTTP. It covers URLs, request methods, responses, versioning, and backend routes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating API endpoints, designing resources, implementing routes, handling requests and responses, or planning API versions.
Why use it?
It helps keep endpoints predictable and makes request, response, update, and error behavior consistent.

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.

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 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 1mo 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.

RESTful 设计原则

URL 设计

# 资源命名 - 使用名词复数
GET    /api/v1/users           # 获取用户列表
GET    /api/v1/users/:id       # 获取单个用户
POST   /api/v1/users           # 创建用户
PUT    /api/v1/users/:id       # 更新用户(完整替换)
PATCH  /api/v1/users/:id       # 更新用户(部分更新)
DELETE /api/v1/users/:id       # 删除用户

# 嵌套资源
GET    /api/v1/users/:id/orders           # 用户的订单
GET    /api/v1/users/:id/orders/:orderId  # 用户的特定订单

# 动作资源
POST   /api/v1/users/:id/activate         # 激活用户
POST   /api/v1/orders/:id/cancel          # 取消订单

HTTP 方法语义

}

错误响应

{
  "success": false,

    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "message": "请求参数无效",
    "details": [
      { "field": "email", "message": "邮箱格式不正确" },

API 路由实现

各框架的完整 CRUD 路由实现:

详见 Next.js API Patterns - App Router + Zod 验证 + 认证授权

详见 FastAPI Patterns - Pydantic 模型 + 异步路由

详见 Express.js Patterns - express-validator + 中间件

查询参数处理

分页

interface PaginationParams {
  page?: number;
  pageSize?: number;
  cursor?: string; // 游标分页
}

// 偏移分页
const { page = 1, pageSize = 20 } = query;
const skip = (page - 1) * pageSize;

// 游标分页(大数据量推荐)
const { cursor, pageSize = 20 } = query;
const where = cursor ? { id: { gt: cursor } } : {};

Files

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.

Changes

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.

api is a skill published in the GitHub repository xiaobei930/cc-best (48 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,582 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
