api-integration-patterns SKILL.md skillA
api-integration-patterns from akaszubski/autonomous-dev is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add akaszubski/autonomous-dev/api-integration-patterns@git:20260317.e64d556Pins git:20260317.e64d556 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Subprocess safety, GitHub CLI integration, retry logic, authentication, rate limiting, and timeout handling. Use when integrating external APIs or CLI tools. TRIGGER when: subprocess, gh cli, API call, retry logic, rate limiting, authentication. DO NOT TRIGGER when: internal function calls, pure Python logic, config file edits.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# API Integration Patterns Skill
Standardized patterns for integrating external APIs and CLI tools in the autonomous-dev plugin ecosystem. Focuses on safety, reliability, and security when calling external services.
## When This Skill Activates
- Integrating external APIs (GitHub, etc.)
- Executing subprocess commands safely
- Implementing retry logic
- Handling authentication
- Managing rate limits
- Keywords: "api", "subprocess", "github", "gh cli", "retry", "authentication"
---
## Core Patterns
### 1. Subprocess Safety (CWE-78 Prevention)
**Definition**: Execute external commands safely without command injection vulnerabilities.
**Critical Rules**:
- ✅ ALWAYS use argument arrays: `["gh", "issue", "create"]`
- ❌ NEVER use shell=True with user input
- ✅ ALWAYS whitelist allowed commands
- ✅ ALWAYS set timeouts
**Pattern**:
```python
import subprocess
from typing import List
def safe_subprocess(
command: List[str],
*,
allowed_commands: List[str],
timeout: int = 30
) -> subprocess.CompletedProcess:
"""Execute subprocess with CWE-78 prevention.
Args:
command: Command and arguments as list (NOT string!)

How to install
mdr add akaszubski/autonomous-dev/api-integration-patterns@sha256:a49d00c14ffc5ce4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260317.e64d556, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
