SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? After backend API work is finished, frontend developers often lack the business context, validation rules, and edge-case knowledge needed to build integrations without repeatedly asking backend developers questions. This Skill analyzes completed backend code and produces a complete, structured handoff document so frontend work can start immediately. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Handoff Generation: Produces a markdown document covering business context, endpoints, DTOs, TypeScript interfaces, enums, validation rules, edge cases, integration guidance, and test scenarios. - Versioned Output: Saves documents to .claude/docs/ai/<feature-name>/api-handoff.md and automatically increments version suffixes (-v2, -v3) when regenerating after feedback. - Simple API Shortcut: For straightforward CRUD endpoints, skips the full template and outputs just the method, path, and example request/response JSON. - Use Case: After implementing an expense approval API, ask for a handoff document and receive a file with endpoint details, approval status enums, permission rules, optimistic UI guidance, and acceptance test scenarios ready for the frontend team. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create API handoff documentation for the backend feature you just completed, naming the feature and its endpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create API handoff documentation for frontend developers?▼

Run the skill after completing backend implementation and it analyzes your endpoints, DTOs, and validation logic to produce a structured markdown handoff. The document is saved to .claude/docs/ai/<feature-name>/api-handoff.md with business context, request/response examples, and test scenarios.

What should an API handoff document include for frontend integration?▼

A complete handoff includes business context, endpoint methods and paths, auth requirements, request/response JSON examples, TypeScript interfaces, enums with display labels, validation rules, edge cases, integration guidance on caching and optimistic UI, and acceptance test scenarios.

When should I generate backend-to-frontend handoff documentation?▼

Generate it after backend implementation is complete and before frontend development begins. It can also be regenerated as a versioned update (v2, v3) when the API contract changes or frontend developers raise questions.

Does the skill handle simple CRUD APIs differently?▼

Yes, for straightforward CRUD endpoints with obvious validation and no complex business logic, it skips the full template and outputs only the method, path, and example request/response JSON, letting frontend infer the rest.

What is excluded from the generated API handoff document?▼

The document deliberately excludes backend implementation details such as file paths, class names, internal services, database schemas, and deployment details. It focuses purely on the integration contract and business context the frontend needs.
