SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The API Designer helps teams create consistent, production-ready REST and GraphQL APIs by generating precise OpenAPI 3.1 specifications, standardizing error handling, and guiding versioning strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • OpenAPI 3.1 spec authoring for REST and GraphQL endpoints with standardized schemas
  • Resource modeling, endpoint design, and versioning strategies to support long-term API evolution
  • Guidance on error handling, pagination, authentication, and documentation to improve developer experience

Quick Start

Design a new API and generate a complete OpenAPI 3.1 specification that covers endpoints, schemas, error definitions, and a versioning plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an OpenAPI 3.1 specification for a new REST API?

OpenAPI 3.1 specification generation involves defining endpoints, schemas, and authentication specifications. This process ensures production-ready REST API design by standardizing resource modeling, versioning strategies, and robust error handling.

What is the best way to handle API error responses consistently?

Consistent API error handling is achieved by enforcing RFC 7807 compliant error responses. This standardizes error definitions across REST and GraphQL APIs, ensuring robust problem details for clients.

Can I use this approach to design both REST and GraphQL APIs?

Yes, this approach supports designing both REST and GraphQL APIs. It handles endpoint design, resource modeling, and versioning strategies for both API styles while enforcing OpenAPI contracts and standardized schemas.

How do I plan API versioning strategies for long-term evolution?

Plan API versioning strategies by defining version rules during project inception. This guides endpoint design and resource modeling to support long-term API evolution and maintain backward compatibility.

What pagination patterns should I include in my API design?

Include pagination patterns in API design to manage large data sets efficiently. These patterns are integrated into the OpenAPI specification alongside resource modeling and endpoint design to standardize data retrieval.

When do I need to define authentication specifications in an OpenAPI contract?

Define authentication specifications in an OpenAPI contract when building production-ready APIs. They secure endpoints and schemas from project inception, ensuring robust access control across REST and GraphQL implementations.
