SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps to ensure that planned Command Center API contracts are robust before deployment, allowing for effective testing without actual backend implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mock JSON Mode: Simulate API responses to validate UX and widget bindings without deploying the actual API.
  • UI Metadata Separation: Properly separates request and response-side UI metadata to maintain clarity.
  • Widget Contract Testing: Validates that generic tabular consumers meet the core.tabular_frame@v1 contract.

Quick Start

To begin the API mock prototyping process, activate the skill and specify the target widget, endpoint, and required UI metadata.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test Command Center API contracts before backend deployment?

Mock JSON responses simulate API behavior to validate Command Center widget bindings and UX without requiring backend implementation, ensuring contract stability and UX quality before release.

What is the best way to validate widget downstream bindings for API prototyping?

Validating widget downstream bindings requires testing generic tabular consumers against the `core.tabular_frame@v1` contract using mock JSON responses, verifying that widget data bindings meet expected contract specifications.

How do I separate UI metadata when mocking API responses for UI validation?

Separating UI metadata when mocking API responses requires properly distinguishing between request-side and response-side UI metadata, maintaining clarity and ensuring accurate contract testing for widgets.

Does mock mode support testing generic tabular consumers for UX validation?

Yes, mock mode supports testing generic tabular consumers for UX validation by verifying they meet the `core.tabular_frame@v1` contract, allowing you to validate widget behavior without deploying the actual API.

When do I need to use mock JSON responses for Command Center API testing?

You need to use mock JSON responses for Command Center API testing when validating planned API contracts and widget behavior before deployment, enabling effective testing of contract stability and UX quality without actual backend implementation.

What are the limitations of mock mode for API contract validation?

Mock mode for API contract validation is limited to pre-deployment testing using simulated JSON responses and cannot replace actual backend implementation, requiring proper separation of UI metadata and validation of widget downstream bindings to be effective.
