SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured workflow to scaffold a new ResearchMate Vercel serverless API endpoint that adheres to the project's patterns (imports, types, constants, helper functions, and a robust main handler) and ready-to-deploy configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end endpoint scaffolding aligned to ResearchMate conventions (PART sections, TS typings, default exports, and environment variable guidance).
  • Generates an api/<endpoint-name>.ts file with a complete Vercel-compatible handler and modular components for authentication, credit management, and fallback logic.
  • Facilitates rapid iteration for common API tasks within ResearchMate (e.g., translation, data fetch, or user actions) by applying a repeatable, safe template.

Quick Start

Provide the endpoint name as an argument to scaffold api/<name>.ts with proper imports and a complete handler.
