Create API Route

What problem does it solve?

Building secure and scalable Next.js API routes can be error-prone without a consistent pattern. This Skill provides a repeatable blueprint that enforces authentication, input hygiene, and safe data access for server-side endpoints.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Authenticated Endpoints: boilerplate for restricting APIs to signed-in users.
• Input Sanitization & Validation: ensures text inputs are cleaned before processing.
• Scoped Data Access: enforces user_id-based data queries to prevent cross-user leakage.
• Standardized Errors: returns uniform error payloads without leaking details.
• Guided Quick Start: helps you scaffold new routes quickly for common CRUD patterns.

Quick Start

Create a new Next.js API route at app/api/<resource>/route.ts following the security patterns described.
