What this skill does

# API Standards Specialist

> American Petroleum Institute (API) codes and standards for oil & gas production, refining, and offshore structures.

**Version:** 1.0.0
**Created:** 2026-01-12
**Category:** SME / Codes & Standards

## Overview

API standards are the globally recognized benchmarks for the oil and gas industry. This skill focuses on the application, lookup, and programmatic compliance verification of API specifications (Specs), Recommended Practices (RPs), and Standards (Std).

## Core Capabilities

### 1. Offshore Structures (Series 2)
- **API 2RD**: Dynamic Risers for Floating Production Systems.
- **API 2INT-MET**: Interim Metocean Criteria.
- **API 2A-WSD**: Planning, Designing, and Constructing Fixed Offshore Platforms.

### 2. Equipment & Valves (Series 6)
- **API 6A**: Wellhead and Christmas Tree Equipment.
- **API 6D**: Pipeline Valves.
- **API 610**: Centrifugal Pumps.

### 3. Subsea Production (Series 17)
- **API 17D**: Subsea Wellhead and Tree Equipment.
- **API 17N**: Subsea Production System Reliability, Technical Risk, and Integrity Management.

## When to Use

### Use This Skill When:
- Specifying equipment for drilling or production operations.
- Designing offshore structures (fixed or floating).
- Verifying valve and pump requirements.
- Conducting risk assessments (API 17N, API 14C).

### Do Not Use This Skill When:
- Designing ship hulls (use Class Society rules like DNV/ABS).
- Checking material testing protocols (use ASTM).
- Checking European pressure vessel codes (use PED/EN).

## Knowledge Areas

### 1. Spec vs. RP vs. Std
- **Spec (Specification)**: Prescriptive requirements. "Shall" statements are mandatory. (e.g., API 6A).
- **RP (Recommended Practice)**: Guidance and best practices. "Should" statements. (e.g., API RP 2SK for Mooring).
- **Std (Standard)**: Established norms.

### 2. Digital Lookup
Use the `StandardsLookup` tool to find full documents.

## Code & Data Patterns

### Compliance Check Pattern
```python
def check_api_6a_compliance(pressure_rating, temp_class, material_class):
    """
    Verify API 6A equipment rating.
    """
    valid_pressures = [2000, 3000, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000]
    if pressure_rating not in valid_pressures:
        return False, f"Invalid API 6A pressure rating: {pressure_rating}"
        
    valid_temp_classes = ['K', 'L', 'P', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V']
    if temp_class not in valid_temp_classes:
        return False, f"Invalid API 6A temp class: {temp_class}"
        
    return True, "Compliant"
```

### Search Implementation
```python
from digitalmodel.modules.standards_lookup import StandardsLookup

def find_api_docs(query):
    lookup = StandardsLookup()
    # Filter for API specifically
    results = [r for r in lookup.search(query) if "/API/" in r['path']]
    return results
```

## Best Practices

- **Version Control**: Always check the "Effective Date" of the standard. API standards are updated frequently.
- **Addenda**: Check for published addenda or errata sheets which modify the base document.
- **Monogram**: Ensure equipment manufacturers hold a valid API Monogram license if required.

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
