SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of requesting backend API implementations by creating structured GitHub Issues and preparing mock data for frontend development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API Specification Check: Verifies if an API is already defined in docs/api/spec.md.
  • Issue Creation: Generates a GitHub Issue with a predefined template for API implementation requests, including HTTP method, path, request/response examples, and usage context.
  • TypeScript Type Definition: Provides a template for defining TypeScript interfaces for API request and response structures.
  • Mock Data Generation: Creates mock data for API responses to facilitate frontend development before the backend is ready.
  • API Client Mocking: Sets up a basic API client that uses mock data when a production API URL is not configured.
  • Use Case: A frontend developer needs a new API endpoint to fetch user profiles. They use this skill to create an issue for the backend team and simultaneously generate mock user data for their UI components.

Quick Start

Use the api-request skill to create an issue for a GET request to the /users endpoint with a mock user list.
