Type-safe API connection generates TypeScript types and client wrappers from your API specification, then wires them into Next.js server and client components. Provide an API spec (e.g., api-spec.yaml), set up your API client, and the Skill handles data fetching with loading and error states for protected endpoints.

Yes. The Skill connects App Router pages to APIs by default through server components, with optional client component support. It automatically handles authenticated access, loading states, and error handling for your data retrieval layer.

You need an API specification artifact (such as api-spec.yaml), TypeScript typings, and an API client setup. The Skill generates type-safe client code and integrates it into your pages to enable end-to-end data fetching with authentication and error handling.

The Skill automatically generates and wires loading and error state handling into your server and client components when connecting to protected endpoints. It integrates these states directly into your page rendering logic without manual setup.

Server components are the default for secure, type-safe data fetching without exposing credentials to the browser. Client components are optional when you need browser-side interactivity. The Skill supports both, letting you choose based on your authentication and user interaction needs.

TypeScript typings are required to enable the type-safety that the Skill provides. Combined with your API specification, they allow code generation of type-safe client wrappers that catch errors at build time and enable IDE autocompletion.
