What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of API endpoints, ensuring adherence to best practices, security, and documentation standards. It significantly reduces manual setup, potential errors, and development time for backend services.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive API Generation: Creates full API endpoint structures including routes, controllers, services, validation schemas, authentication middleware, tests, and OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.
• Framework-Specific Code: Detects your backend framework (Express.js, Fastify, NestJS, FastAPI, Flask, Django) and generates tailored code.
• Integrated Best Practices: Incorporates layered architecture, input validation, centralized error handling, JWT authentication, role-based access control, and efficient pagination.
• Use Case: Request Claude to "create a REST API for managing users with CRUD operations, JWT authentication, and Zod validation," and receive a fully structured and tested API, ready for your specific business logic.
