newapi

newapi is the official AIGC555 user-level Skill for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw. Query models, manage tokens, view groups, check balance, and ask AIGC555 usage questions directly inside your AI coding workflow.

What is newapi-skills?

newapi-skills is the official AI editor Skill plugin from AIGC555. Skills are a lightweight extension protocol that enables AI coding assistants — such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline — to call AIGC555 endpoints directly from within the editor, performing model queries, token management, balance checks, and answering AIGC555 deployment, configuration, and API usage questions without ever leaving your coding environment.

GitHub Repository: github.com/QuantumNous/skills

It now also works inside OpenClaw, so you can run /newapi commands for models, tokens, groups, and balance, and ask AIGC555 usage questions without leaving your agent workflow.

Why Use Skills

During everyday AI development, developers frequently switch between their editor and the AIGC555 management dashboard — checking available models, creating API tokens, inspecting balance, adjusting group quotas. These context switches disrupt coding flow.

What newapi-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 AIGC555 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

newapi-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 `/newapi` 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 newapi-skills.

Commands Reference

Below is the complete list of commands provided by newapi-skills. These commands interact with the AIGC555 REST API to query and manage resources on your AIGC555 instance.

Query Commands

Command	Description	Use Case
`/newapi models`	List available AI models	View all models configured on your AIGC555 instance (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
`/newapi groups`	List user groups	View your account's groups with quota and rate multiplier settings
`/newapi balance`	Show account balance	Real-time query of current user's balance and usage

Token Management Commands

Command	Description	Use Case
`/newapi tokens`	List API tokens	View all created tokens (keys shown masked, e.g. `sk-reHR**********OspA`)
`/newapi create-token <name> [--group=xxx]`	Create AIGC555 token	Generate independent API keys for different apps or projects
`/newapi switch-group <token_id> <group>`	Change token's group	Modify token group to adjust model access permissions and rate multipliers
`/newapi copy-token <token_id>`	Copy key to clipboard	Securely copy the real key to system clipboard (key never displayed in terminal)
`/newapi 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
`/newapi help <question>`	Ask about AIGC555	Get help on AIGC555 deployment, configuration, API call formats, and more

Installation & Configuration

Install newapi-skills

One-line installation via npx:

npx skills add https://github.com/QuantumNous/skills --skill newapi

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

Set Environment Variables

newapi-skills requires three environment variables to connect to your AIGC555 instance. Add them to your shell profile:

# ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
export NEWAPI_BASE_URL=https://<your-newapi-domain>
export NEWAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token
export NEWAPI_USER_ID=1

Variable	Description	Example
`NEWAPI_BASE_URL`	AIGC555 service URL	`https://api.example.com`
`NEWAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN`	Admin or user access token	From "Personal Settings → Account → Security → System Access Token"
`NEWAPI_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 /newapi commands in any Skills-compatible AI editor. For example:

Type /newapi models to list available models
Type /newapi balance to check your current balance
Type /newapi create-token my-app to create a new token named my-app
Type /newapi help how do I configure groups and tokens? to ask AIGC555 usage questions directly
In OpenClaw, you can also run /newapi models, /newapi balance, and token commands directly in your agent workflow

Runtime Requirements

newapi-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

newapi-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
