What problem does it solve?
Design and implement ergonomic JSON HTTP APIs for machine-to-machine communication. This skill helps teams design API endpoints and OpenAPI specs to produce consistent, machine-friendly HTTP JSON APIs, enabling clearer contracts and easier integration.
Core Features & Use Cases
- OpenAPI-first workflow: Draft an OpenAPI 3.1 spec before implementation to establish a single source of truth for contracts.
- Resource-oriented design: Model domains as resources with proper HTTP methods, status codes, and clean URL structures.
- Consistency & error handling: Enforce uniform response envelopes (data), error formats, and predictable behavior across services.
- Use Case: Designing an offers API with endpoints like
/offers and /offers/{offer_id} using snake_case payloads.
Quick Start
Draft a minimal OpenAPI 3.1 specification following these conventions to start implementing a RESTful HTTP API.
