Can it help with error handling?

Definitely. It includes standardized error response formats with field-level details to help clients debug validation failures and state conflicts.

What API standards does this skill follow?

It follows industry-standard RESTful conventions, emphasizing resource-oriented URLs, plural nouns, kebab-case naming, and semantic HTTP methods.

Does it support different pagination styles?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for both simple offset-based pagination for dashboards and scalable cursor-based pagination for infinite feeds.

How does it handle API versioning?

It recommends URL path versioning (e.g., /v1/) and provides a strategy for managing deprecation cycles and breaking changes.

Is it specific to a particular programming language?

No, while it provides implementation examples in TypeScript, Python, and Go, the architectural principles are language-agnostic.
