Skills - Validation Cloud

Skills give AI coding agents, such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, built-in knowledge of a Validation Cloud product and the scripts to call it. They are published in the public validationcloud/skills repository.

Available skills

Skill	What it does
`admin-api`	Manages Node API endpoints, checks your plan, quota and usage, lists supported chains and looks up compute unit costs, all through the Admin API. It can also write `curl`, JavaScript, Python or Go snippets, or add a small Admin API client to your project.

Before you start

The admin-api skill authenticates with an Admin API key. Admin API keys are available on the Scale and Private plans.

Create a key on the Admin API keys page. See Admin API for scopes.
Add the key to your shell profile, so it is set before your agent starts:
echo 'export VC_ADMIN_KEY=<YOUR_ADMIN_KEY>' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.zshrc
If your agent is already running, restart it.

Install

Claude Code
Other agents

Run these commands inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add validationcloud/skills
/plugin install admin-api@validationcloud
/reload-plugins

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/validationcloud/skills.git

Then have your agent read plugins/admin-api/skills/admin-api/AGENTS.md, the skill’s portable entry point. The skill needs bash and curl. jq is optional and pretty-prints responses.

Check it works

Ask your agent “Check my admin key”. It replies with your plan and the key’s scope (Read or Read & Write).

Example prompts

“List my RPC endpoints.”
“What’s my compute unit usage this month?”
“How much does eth_call cost on Ethereum Mainnet?”
“Create an Ethereum Mainnet endpoint called prod-eth.” This needs a Read & Write key, and the agent asks you to confirm first.
“Give me a Python client for the Admin API.”

Safety

The skill never writes your key to disk, and shows at most its last 4 characters.
Creating or deleting an endpoint needs your confirmation before it runs. Deleting an endpoint can’t be undone.
