What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the challenge of creating robust, human-readable, and type-safe identifiers for API resources, preventing common bugs and improving debugging.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Type-Safe IDs: Implement Stripe-like prefixed IDs (e.g.,
cus_NffrFeUfNV2Hib) for clear resource identification. - ID Generation: Choose between time-sortable strategies like ULID or KSUID for efficient database indexing and chronological ordering.
- Validation: Enforce ID format and type correctness at the API boundary using middleware to prevent errors before they reach the database.
- Use Case: When designing a new API endpoint for creating users, use this Skill to generate a
usr_prefixed ID and ensure any incoming IDs in requests or responses adhere to the defined format and type.
Quick Start
