What problem does it solve?
REST API design is error-prone and leads to inconsistent contracts, fragile client integrations, and costly migrations. This Skill provides a structured approach to design and review API contracts that are accurate, versioned, and production-ready.
Core Features & Use Cases
- API contract design and review to ensure correct resource modeling, consistent HTTP semantics, stable error responses, and predictable behavior across services.
- Pagination, filtering, sorting, and sparse fieldsets guidance to optimize payloads and performance.
- Versioning strategy, deprecation planning, and backward-compatibility guidance to minimize breaking changes in public or partner APIs.
- OpenAPI documentation alignment and automated checks to keep contracts in sync with implementation.
Quick Start
Review an existing API contract against the guidelines and begin drafting a versioned, well-documented REST API for a new resource.
