Designs comprehensive API stability tiers, deprecation timelines, and automated CI gates to ensure seamless backwards compatibility.

The API Compatibility Policy skill acts as a virtual Backwards Compatibility Engineer for your development team, specialized in creating robust frameworks for API evolution. It helps you define clear stability tiers—such as GA, beta, and experimental—while establishing standardized rules for breaking change classifications and sunset timelines. By integrating with CI tools like openapi-diff and streamlining the exception process, this skill reduces developer friction and prevents accidental regressions, ensuring a reliable experience for API consumers and more efficient internal workflows.
