apimp

apimp is the official APIMP user-level Skill for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw. Query models, manage tokens, view groups, check balance, and ask APIMP usage questions directly inside your AI coding workflow.

What is apimp-skills?

apimp-skills is the official AI editor Skill plugin from APIMP. Skills are a lightweight extension protocol that enables AI coding assistants — such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline — to call APIMP endpoints directly from within the editor, performing model queries, token management, balance checks, and answering APIMP deployment, configuration, and API usage questions without ever leaving your coding environment.

GitHub Repository: github.com/pixzoo/skills

It now also works inside OpenClaw, so you can run /apimp commands for models, tokens, groups, and balance, and ask APIMP usage questions without leaving your agent workflow.

Why Use Skills

During everyday AI development, developers frequently switch between their editor and the APIMP management dashboard — checking available models, creating API tokens, inspecting balance, adjusting group quotas. These context switches disrupt coding flow.

What apimp-skills solves:

Zero context-switching: Issue natural language commands directly in Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or other AI IDEs — no browser or admin panel needed
Built-in help: Ask about APIMP deployment, configuration, groups, and API call formats directly from your coding workflow
Security-first design: Keys are never shown in plain text; token copy and injection use secure channels (sk- prefixed keys never appear in terminal output or logs)
Instant setup: A single npx command handles installation; runtime auto-detection (Bun / Node.js / Deno)
Cross-editor compatibility: Works with any AI editor or coding assistant that implements the Skills protocol

Supported AI Editors

apimp-skills works with the following AI coding tools:

AI Editor / Coding Assistant	Type	Notes
Claude Code	Terminal AI programming assistant	Official Anthropic CLI
OpenClaw	Self-hosted AI assistant platform	Supports Skills-based `/apimp` command workflows
Cursor	AI-native code editor	VS Code based
Windsurf	AI code editor	By Codeium
Cline	VS Code AI extension	Open-source AI coding agent
Codex CLI	Terminal AI programming assistant	Official OpenAI CLI

Any tool that supports the Skills protocol can use apimp-skills.

Commands Reference

Below is the complete list of commands provided by apimp-skills. These commands interact with the APIMP REST API to query and manage resources on your APIMP instance.

Query Commands

Command	Description	Use Case
`/apimp models`	List available AI models	View all models configured on your APIMP instance (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
`/apimp groups`	List user groups	View your account's groups with quota and rate multiplier settings
`/apimp balance`	Show account balance	Real-time query of current user's balance and usage

Token Management Commands

Command	Description	Use Case
`/apimp tokens`	List API tokens	View all created tokens (keys shown masked, e.g. `sk-reHR**********OspA`)
`/apimp create-token <name> [--group=xxx]`	Create new API token	Generate independent API keys for different apps or projects
`/apimp switch-group <token_id> <group>`	Change token's group	Modify token group to adjust model access permissions and rate multipliers
`/apimp copy-token <token_id>`	Copy key to clipboard	Securely copy the real key to system clipboard (key never displayed in terminal)
`/apimp apply-token <token_id> <file>`	Inject key into config file	Securely write token key into project config files (e.g. `.env`) via placeholder replacement

Help Command

Command	Description	Use Case
`/apimp help <question>`	Ask about APIMP	Get help on APIMP deployment, configuration, API call formats, and more

Installation & Configuration

Install apimp-skills

One-line installation via npx:

npx skills add https://github.com/pixzoo/skills --skill apimp

This pulls the latest Skill definition from the GitHub repository and installs it into your editor environment.

Set Environment Variables

apimp-skills requires three environment variables to connect to your APIMP instance. Add them to your shell profile:

# ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export APIMP_BASE_URL=https://api.apimp.ai
export APIMP_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token
export APIMP_USER_ID=1

Variable	Description	Example
`APIMP_BASE_URL`	APIMP service URL	`https://api.example.com`
`APIMP_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Admin or user access token	From "Personal Settings → Account → Security → System Access Token"
`APIMP_USER_ID`	User ID	`1` (admin default is 1)

You can also create a .env file in your project root. Make sure .env is listed in .gitignore to prevent key leaks.

Start Using

Once installed, type /apimp commands in any Skills-compatible AI editor. For example:

Type /apimp models to list available models
Type /apimp balance to check your current balance
Type /apimp create-token my-app to create a new token named my-app
Type /apimp help how do I configure groups and tokens? to ask APIMP usage questions directly
In OpenClaw, you can also run /apimp models, /apimp balance, and token commands directly in your agent workflow

Runtime Requirements

apimp-skills requires one of the following JavaScript runtimes (auto-detected at startup):

Runtime	Version	Recommendation
Bun	Latest	Recommended (fastest)
Node.js	>= 18	Widely supported
Deno	Latest	Optional

Security

apimp-skills has multiple layers of security built in to protect your API keys:

Token listings only show masked keys (e.g. sk-reHR**********OspA) — real keys never appear in terminal output
copy-token copies the key to the system clipboard only, never displaying it in any output
apply-token uses placeholder replacement to inject keys, never exposing raw key content
All sk- prefixed key values are strictly protected throughout the entire execution flow
