api-pagination-standard

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the inconsistency in how APIs handle pagination, filtering, and sorting, leading to a unified and predictable data retrieval experience for clients.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Analyze current API implementations: Identifies discrepancies in pagination, filtering, and sorting parameters across different list endpoints.
• Define a unified standard: Establishes clear rules for pagination (offset/cursor), filtering (parameter format, operators), and sorting (field naming, direction).
• Improve client experience: Ensures developers can consistently query list data without learning unique patterns for each endpoint.
• Use Case: A team has multiple microservices, each with its own way of returning lists of items. This Skill helps create a single, documented standard for all list endpoints, making it easier for frontend developers to consume data.

Quick Start

Analyze the current API codebase for pagination, filtering, and sorting inconsistencies and propose a unified standard.
