What it does

The Steam API skill provides a high-level developer interface for interacting with the Steam Web API. It enables AI agents to programmatically retrieve player profiles, analyze game libraries, track achievements, and resolve vanity URLs into SteamID64s. It simplifies the complex data structures returned by Steam, converting them into actionable insights like human-readable playtime and direct asset URLs.

Why use this skill

Interacting with the Steam API can be frustrating due to archaic endpoint structures, inconsistent response formats, and the prerequisite of resolving custom URLs before data can even be requested. This skill handles the heavy lifting of ID resolution, playtime math (converting minutes to hours), and image URL construction. It also provides built-in logic for handling privacy settings, ensuring your agent doesn't fail silently when encountering private profiles.

Supported integrations

• ISteamUser: Profile summaries and vanity URL resolution.
• IPlayerService: Full game libraries, playtime stats, and Steam levels.
• ISteamUserStats: Game-specific achievements and stats.
• Store API: Rich game metadata including descriptions, genres, and pricing.

The output is structured, developer-ready JSON or formatted summaries that include calculated fields like total hours and formatted timestamps.
