create-api-endpoint

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers implement robust, type-safe API endpoints in Next.js 15 using the App Router, with integrated validation, authentication, and error handling, reducing boilerplate and runtime errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Type-safe API route handlers using Next.js App Router
• Zod-based input validation for request bodies and params
• Authentication checks and conditional responses
• Structured error handling with explicit HTTP status codes
• Pagination and rate-limiting scaffolding for public endpoints
• Use Case: quickly scaffold a GET/POST API for resources under app/api/<path>/route.ts

Quick Start

Create app/api/<path>/route.ts with GET and POST handlers, apply a Zod schema for validation, and add a simple authentication check.
