## What it does

New API is an open-source gateway that puts several model providers behind Anthropic, Claude and Gemini compatible interfaces. The `newapi` skill lets the agent manage models, groups, balance and tokens through a set of scripts.

Inside are `api.js`, `copy-key.js`, `inject-key.js` and `exec-token.js`. Every New API call goes through them instead of `curl` or `fetch`. An `sk-` key never lands in chat, files or logs: the agent points you to `copy-token`, `apply-token` or `exec-token` instead. After `create-token` it makes no follow-up call for the key, so do not expect the value to appear in the reply.

You need access to your New API instance and the setup from `docs/setup.md`, which is read on first invocation. One caveat: `scan-config` redacts secrets on a best-effort basis and does not guarantee hiding everything in every format. Treat it as a convenience, not your only line of defence.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QuantumNous/skills --skill newapi -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/newapi/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/newapi/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QuantumNous/skills --skill newapi -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/newapi/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QuantumNous/skills --skill newapi -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/newapi/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install QuantumNous/skills newapi
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/newapi/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QuantumNous/skills --skill newapi -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/QuantumNous/skills --path skills/newapi
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/newapi/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add QuantumNous/skills --skill newapi -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/QuantumNous/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/newapi/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- list the models available to you
- check the account balance
- create a new API token
- write a key into a config without printing it
- run a command with the key kept out of logs

## Example prompts
- /newapi models
- /newapi tokens
- /newapi exec-token <token_id> <command...>

# SKILL: newapi

newapi ([new-api](https://github.com/QuantumNous/new-api)) is an open-source unified AI gateway platform.
It aggregates multiple model providers behind OpenAI / Claude / Gemini compatible interfaces, and provides model, token, group, and balance management.

## Security Guidelines

This skill follows these security guidelines to protect API keys:

1. Do not expose any `sk-` key value in chat, files, code, logs, or command arguments. To use keys securely, tell the user to run `copy-token` (clipboard), `apply-token` (config file), or `exec-token` (CLI command).
2. All New API calls should go through the provided scripts (`api.js`, `copy-key.js`, `inject-key.js`, `exec-token.js`) rather than using `curl`, `wget`, `fetch`, or other HTTP clients to call New API endpoints directly.
3. Do not read `.env` files, environment variables containing credentials, or clipboard contents after `copy-key.js`.
4. When working with config files that may contain API keys, use `inject-key.js --scan` to get a sanitized view rather than reading them directly. Note: `scan-config` is best-effort and not guaranteed to redact every secret in every format.
5. After `create-token`, do not make any follow-up call to retrieve or list the key. Report success and tell the user they can use `copy-token <id>`, `apply-token <id> <file>`, or `exec-token <id> <command>` to securely use the key.
6. Do not modify the security scripts to disable masking or redirect output.

## How to Execute

1. **First invocation only** — read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/docs/setup.md` for configuration, auth headers, and runtime detection.
2. Match the action from the table below.
3. Read the corresponding doc file for detailed steps.
4. If no arguments or unrecognized action, show the help table below.
5. If the user asks about newapi (what it is, how to use a command, or any API usage question like calling a specific model format) — read `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/docs/help.md` and follow the instructions there.

## Actions

| Action | Description | Details |
| -------- | ------------- | --------- |
| `models` | List available models | `docs/actions-query.md` |
| `groups` | List user groups | `docs/actions-query.md` |
| `balance` | Show account balance | `docs/actions-query.md` |
| `tokens` | List API tokens | `docs/actions-token.md` |
| `create-token` | Create a new API token | `docs/actions-token.md` |
| `switch-group` | Change a token's group | `docs/actions-token.md` |
| `copy-token` | Copy real key to clipboard (never shown) | `docs/actions-token.md` |
| `apply-token` | Apply token key to a config file securely | `docs/actions-config.md` |
| `exec-token` | Execute a command with the token key securely substituted | `docs/actions-exec.md` |
| `scan-config` | Inspect config structure with best-effort secret redaction | `docs/actions-config.md` |
```
