What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces a consistent API envelope across all responses, ensuring every success, list, and error output includes structured data, metadata, and compact payloads.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standard Envelope: Wraps responses with a uniform ApiResponse structure, including sys metadata and a compact data payload.
  • Helpers & Consistency: Relies on formatEntity, formatEntityList, and formatErrorEntity to format data before returning from the DAL and route handlers.
  • Use Case: When building web or mobile APIs, adopt the envelope pattern to enable predictable client parsing, easier caching, and robust error handling.

Quick Start

Integrate the envelope helpers into a route: wrap data with formatEntity/formatEntityList and return the result via NextResponse.json.
