What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps backend engineers design robust, scalable, and maintainable APIs across REST, GraphQL, and tRPC paradigms, addressing common pitfalls in endpoint design, versioning, error handling, and security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Endpoint Design: Provides best practices for resource modeling, HTTP methods, and status codes.
  • Error Handling: Standardizes error contracts using RFC 7807/9457.
  • Versioning & Deprecation: Outlines strategies for API evolution and safe deprecation.
  • Authentication & Authorization: Covers patterns for API keys, JWT, OAuth 2.0, RBAC, and rate limiting.
  • Use Case: A team is deciding between REST and GraphQL for a new microservice. This Skill provides a clear comparison and decision tree to help them choose the most appropriate technology.
