Does this skill help with error response formatting?

Absolutely. it defines a standardized error envelope that includes codes, messages, and field-level validation details to help API consumers debug effectively.

How does the skill handle API versioning?

It primarily recommends URL path versioning (e.g., /v1/, /v2/) for its explicitness and cacheability, while also providing guidance on sunsetting old versions.

Does it support both offset and cursor pagination?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for Offset-based pagination for simple dashboards and Keyset-based (cursor) pagination for high-performance, infinite-scroll applications.

What naming conventions does this skill recommend for URLs?

The skill recommends using plural nouns in kebab-case (e.g., /api/v1/user-profiles) and avoiding verbs in the URL path to maintain standard RESTful principles.

Are there code examples for specific frameworks?

Yes, the skill includes concrete implementation patterns for TypeScript (Next.js), Python (Django REST Framework), and Go (net/http).
