Install in OpenClaw
/install api-dev
Description
Scaffold, test, document, and debug REST and GraphQL APIs. Use when the user needs to create API endpoints, write integration tests, generate OpenAPI specs, test with curl, mock APIs, or troubleshoot HTTP issues.
Usage Guidance
Before installing or using it, treat the snippets as developer examples: point them at local or test APIs unless you intend to affect production, review any POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE/upload command, use scoped test tokens, redact secrets from logs and shell history, and be careful when saving API responses to disk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: api-dev
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is classified as benign. All code snippets and instructions in SKILL.md, including the use of `curl`, `node`, `python3`, `npm install express`, and `npx @redocly/cli`, are directly aligned with the stated purpose of API development, testing, and debugging. While the skill involves powerful commands like `kill` and access to environment variables like `$TOKEN`, these are used in standard developer debugging and testing patterns (e.g., killing a process on a specific port, using a token for authentication, decoding a JWT locally) and do not show any intent for data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence, or prompt injection against the agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill clearly presents API scaffolding, testing, OpenAPI, mock server, Express, and debugging examples; the capabilities are coherent with that purpose.
Instruction Scope
It includes user-directed mutating API examples such as POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, uploads, and CRUD tests; these are expected for API development but should be run only against intended test or development APIs.
Install Mechanism
The package contains only SKILL.md and metadata requiring common tools such as curl, node, and python3; there are no bundled executables or automatic install hooks.
Credentials
Use of remote endpoints, bearer tokens, JWT decoding, npm/npx tools, and saving responses to files is proportionate for API work, but can expose data or secrets if used carelessly.
Persistence & Privilege
The artifacts show no hidden persistence, background agent, privileged local path access, credential storage, or automatic execution; local files and servers are explicit examples the user would run.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install api-dev - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/api-dev - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
