What problem does it solve?

WordPress REST API design and debugging often require careful orchestration between native REST endpoints and Acorn Routes, plus consistent authentication and schema practices. This Skill codifies decision matrices, best practices, and patterns to streamline endpoint creation, security, and maintainability in Sage projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guides when to use native REST vs Acorn Routes and how to coexist within a Sage project.
• Details best practices for registering REST endpoints with rest_api_init and always including a permission_callback.
• Outlines authentication patterns (cookie/nonce, Application Passwords, JWT) and how to expose custom fields and CPTs.
• Provides troubleshooting guidance, anti-patterns, and escalation steps for REST API development.
