What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the chaos of evolving APIs by enforcing disciplined versioning, lifecycle management, and backward-compatible changes, preventing consumer trust erosion and reducing support burdens.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • URI-Based Versioning: Enforces major versions in the URI (e.g., /api/v1/).
  • Expand-Contract Migration: Guides safe transitions between versions.
  • Deprecation Signaling: Implements RFC 8594 Deprecation and Sunset headers.
  • Use Case: When designing a new version of your public API, use this Skill to ensure a smooth transition for existing users by defining clear deprecation timelines and migration paths.

Quick Start
