MiniMax M-series production wiring patterns for the OpenAI-compatible API at api.minimax.io. Use when wiring MiniMax-M2.7 / MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed / Hailuo into a service (Karakeep tagging, Linkwarden summarization, RAG, agentic workflows, quant trade signals), debugging silent-dropped OpenAI parameters, configuring prompt caching (cache_control), handling rate limits via base_resp.status_code (no HTTP 429), choosing between plain M2.7 and -highspeed models, defending against the model's documented hallucination + saturation failure modes, or detecting model upgrades. Distilled from a 41-iteration M2.7-highspeed exploration campaign (40 verified pattern docs).

From the source SKILL.md
OpenAI-compatible chat-completion endpoint at https://api.minimax.io/v1 with the M2.7-highspeed reasoning model (premium tier as of 2026-04-29). LOOKS LIKE OPENAI but silently drops 6 OpenAI parameters and exposes <think> reasoning traces inside content. Beyond chat-completion, the API is MiniMax-native (different URLs, different body shapes, different error envelopes — HTTP 200 + base_resp.status_code instead of HTTP 4xx).
What this skill does
Minimax is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the video sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/minimax/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when wiring MiniMax-M2.7 / MiniMax-M2.

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Minimax skill?
Use Minimax when your Claude Code task falls under the Content category — specifically in the video area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Minimax" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/content/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Minimax skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Minimax is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Content category.
