To scaffold a REST API endpoint, this skill automates contract design, input validation, service-layer orchestration, and persistence access while generating unit test scaffolding to ensure adherence to coding standards.

Enforcing API design patterns requires applying architectural, coding, and security rules defined in your agents.md file, which this skill uses to automate contract design, validation, and test generation for new endpoints.

Yes, you can use this to extend an existing REST API by scaffolding new endpoint contracts, adding service-layer orchestration with persistence access, and generating corresponding test skeletons and documentation updates.

No, you do not need to manually write unit tests because this skill enforces test generation requirements by automatically creating unit test scaffolding alongside the service-layer logic and persistence access.

A dedicated service layer is needed to orchestrate persistence access and handle validation logic separately, ensuring your REST API endpoint adheres to architectural rules and maintains clean separation of concerns.

Yes, this REST API scaffolding operates without external dependencies, using internal scripts and references to enforce architectural rules, validation patterns, and testing standards for your endpoints.
