What problem does it solve?
Designing consistent, machine-readable RESTful API contracts is time-consuming and error-prone, leaving engineering teams with ambiguous endpoints, inconsistent schemas, and unclear error handling. This Skill centralizes endpoint specifications, request and response schemas, versioning guidance, and authentication patterns into a single consumable design for developer handoff and implementation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Endpoint Specifications: Detailed route definitions with HTTP methods, path parameters, query parameters, and example payloads.
- Schemas & Errors: JSON Schema request/response shapes, example bodies, and standardized error codes with handling recommendations.
- Versioning & Auth: Clear versioning strategies and authentication patterns (e.g., bearer tokens, scopes) tailored to integration needs.
- Use Case: Turn a product feature description like "CRUD for patient preferences" into a complete API contract ready for implementation and documentation.
Quick Start
Provide a concise feature description such as CRUD for patient preferences to generate endpoint specs, request/response schemas, error codes, and authentication patterns saved to work/api-designs.
