REST API Design Standards
Standardizes RESTful API development through proven patterns for resource naming, status codes, and pagination.
This skill provides Claude with a comprehensive framework for designing consistent, scalable, and developer-friendly REST APIs based on industry best practices. It guides the creation of predictable URL structures using kebab-case, ensures semantic use of HTTP methods, and implements robust error-handling envelopes. By integrating advanced patterns like cursor-based pagination, field filtering, and versioning strategies, this skill helps developers build production-grade backends that are easy to maintain and integrate, whether for internal microservices or public-facing platforms.
