SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers diagnose REST and GraphQL API failures by isolating connectivity, authentication, request, response, and semantic issues instead of guessing at fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered API Debugging: Analyze failures across networking, TLS, authentication, payload formatting, response parsing, and data validation layers.
  • Integration Testing Support: Create reproducible API checks, inspect status codes, validate contracts, and troubleshoot webhooks or third-party integrations.
  • Production Troubleshooting: Capture correlation IDs, handle rate limits, inspect pagination behavior, and prepare clear vendor bug reports.

Quick Start

Use the rest-graphql-debug skill to investigate why my API request is failing and provide a reproducible diagnosis with the root cause.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug REST and GraphQL API failures systematically?

Diagnose REST and GraphQL API failures by isolating connectivity, authentication, request, response, and semantic issues across layers. Systematic inspection of HTTP behavior, schema expectations, and error handling replaces guessing at fixes.

Why does my API integration return authentication errors?

API authentication errors are diagnosed by isolating secure credential practices and inspecting HTTP behavior. Systematic analysis validates payload formatting, connectivity, and schema expectations to pinpoint the root cause of the failure.

What is the best way to troubleshoot webhook integrations and validate API contracts?

Troubleshoot webhook integrations and validate API contracts by creating reproducible API checks and inspecting status codes. Systematic inspection of HTTP behavior, response parsing, and error handling ensures reliable contract validation.

How do I diagnose API rate limits and pagination behavior in production?

Diagnose API rate limits and pagination behavior in production by capturing correlation IDs and inspecting HTTP responses. Systematic troubleshooting isolates connectivity and response issues to prepare clear vendor bug reports.

Does this API debugging approach work for both REST and GraphQL endpoint testing?

This API debugging approach works for both REST and GraphQL endpoint testing by applying layered analysis across networking, TLS, authentication, payload formatting, response parsing, and data validation layers.
