Does this work with specific frameworks?

While the design patterns are universal to REST, the provided implementation examples and utility classes are specifically optimized for Express.js and TypeScript.

Can it help with error consistency?

Yes, it defines a standard error response format that includes HTTP status codes, internal error codes, and specific field-level validation details for debugging.

How does this skill handle API versioning?

It provides implementation patterns for multiple strategies including URL path versioning (the recommended approach), header-based versioning, and query parameter versioning.

What kind of pagination does it support?

The skill includes patterns for offset-based pagination, providing metadata such as total counts, page numbers, and 'hasMore' flags for front-end navigation.

Desarrollo de API

Implements standardized RESTful API structures, including pagination, filtering, and robust error handling patterns for backend services.

Acerca de

This skill equips Claude with specialized knowledge for architecting production-grade REST APIs. It provides standardized patterns for response formatting, multi-strategy versioning, and complex data retrieval features like offset pagination. By using this skill, developers can ensure their APIs follow industry best practices for status codes, consistent error reporting, and flexible filtering and sorting logic, leading to more maintainable, predictable, and developer-friendly backend services.
