Can I use this for non-PHP projects?

While the implementation examples and detection patterns are optimized for PHP, the core API design principles, HTTP semantics, and architectural comparisons are applicable to any programming language.

Does it help with API security?

Yes, it includes a dedicated security checklist covering authentication, input validation, CORS policies, and rate-limiting algorithms to protect your services.

How does this skill improve my API design?

It provides a standardized framework based on REST constraints and the Richardson Maturity Model, ensuring your endpoints use correct HTTP verbs, status codes, and resource-oriented naming.

What advanced patterns are covered?

The skill includes guidance on cursor-based pagination for high-load datasets, GraphQL N+1 problem prevention, and various rate-limiting algorithms like Token Bucket and Sliding Window.

Desarrollo de API

Provides expert guidance on designing, auditing, and implementing high-performance REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs.

This skill transforms Claude into a senior API architect, offering a comprehensive knowledge base of industry-standard patterns and best practices. It covers the Richardson Maturity Model, REST constraints, HTTP semantics, and advanced concepts like cursor-based pagination and rate-limiting algorithms. Designed primarily for PHP environments but applicable across stacks, it enables Claude to perform deep API audits, generate semantically correct endpoints, and help developers make informed decisions when choosing between REST, GraphQL, and gRPC for their architecture.
