When should I activate this skill?

Activate this skill when designing new API endpoints, reviewing existing contracts, or planning versioning and rate-limiting strategies for public or partner-facing APIs.

How does it handle pagination?

It offers guidance on both offset-based pagination for simple dashboards and cursor-based pagination for high-scale, real-time applications.

What does the api-design skill help with?

It provides a standardized framework for designing consistent, RESTful APIs, covering everything from URL structure and resource naming to error handling and status codes.

Does it support specific programming languages?

Yes, the skill includes specific implementation patterns and code examples for TypeScript (Next.js), Python (Django REST Framework), and Go.

Can it help with API security?

It includes best practices for token-based authentication, API key management, and resource-level authorization patterns.
