Does it provide code for version-specific routing?

Absolutely. The skill includes boilerplate examples for routing different versions within your application and unit tests to ensure each version routes correctly.

How does this skill handle breaking changes?

It provides a framework to identify breaking changes—like removing fields or changing response structures—and guides you through creating a new version to protect existing clients.

Which API versioning strategy is recommended by this skill?

The skill recommends URL path versioning (e.g., /api/v1) for its clarity and cacheability, though it also provides support for header-based and query-based strategies.

Can I use this skill to communicate API sunset dates?

Yes, it includes templates and best practices for implementing 'Sunset' and 'Deprecation' headers in HTTP responses to notify clients of upcoming removals.
