What problem does it solve?

Effect-TS API patterns often require repeated boilerplate for routing, error handling, and OpenAPI docs. This skill provides a structured approach to building and documenting robust HTTP APIs with standard patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Declarative routing with HttpRouter and typed errors to simplify endpoint definitions.
• Centralized error handling and OpenAPI generation to standardize responses and docs.
• Schema-based request validation and dependency injection via Layer for scalable architectures.
• Middleware composition to easily compose cross-cutting concerns across routes.

Quick Start

Define your API with HttpRouter to declare routes and schemas, provide dependencies via Layer, expose via Http.server.serve with a Node HTTP layer, and generate OpenAPI docs for your endpoints.
