Is this skill suitable for CI/CD pipelines?

Absolutely. It is designed to facilitate automated contract verification, making it an ideal component for continuous integration and deployment workflows.

How does this skill use Pact?

The skill generates Pact-based consumer contracts and corresponding provider verification tests to automate and verify the agreement between different software services.

Do I need an existing OpenAPI file?

While the skill can analyze API usage to suggest tests, providing an up-to-date OpenAPI specification allows for the most accurate and comprehensive compliance validation.

Can it detect breaking changes in my API?

Yes, the skill specifically checks for backward compatibility by comparing current API responses and requests against defined OpenAPI or Pact contracts.

What is consumer-driven contract testing?

It is a testing methodology where the consumer of an API defines the expectations of the provider's behavior in a contract, ensuring the provider doesn't break the consumer's integration.

Security & Testing

Validates API contracts using consumer-driven testing and OpenAPI specifications to ensure provider-consumer compatibility and identify breaking changes.

About

The API Contract Test Validator skill enhances Claude Code by automating the verification of API interactions through consumer-driven contract testing (CDC) and OpenAPI compliance. It leverages Pact to generate consumer contracts and provider verification tests, ensuring that microservices and API integrations remain stable during independent deployments. By validating requests and responses against defined specifications, this skill proactively identifies backward compatibility issues, helping developers maintain robust API ecosystems and prevent production failures caused by schema mismatches.
